Prodani can be explored through several specific discoveries: cycling routes connected to the village, the stone Prodanska šterna, the Piski landscape and a described hiking approach to Slap Grjok. Which of these shapes your stay depends on whether you would rather be out cycling, explore local history or plan a hike. Each offers a different focus, which you can prioritise according to your interests.
Cycling routes connected to Prodani
The 602 Fruit Trail approaches Prodani on asphalt at first; after the first house, the route turns onto a stony dirt road. This change in surface is a specific point of reference for planning your route. Check the current route and trail conditions before setting out, as both can change.
The 604 Motovun East runs between Marčenegla and Cerovlje along the main Buzet–Prodani–Pazin road. When comparing the two cycling options, the 602 is described in terms of its change in surface, while the 604 is identified by the named road section. Check the current route information before deciding on your ride.
The Prodanska šterna and Pilarija
The Prodanska šterna is located in the middle of the village, on the Pilarija plateau. The people of Prodani regard it as a symbol of their village. The cistern is more than 20 metres deep, pear-shaped and lined with stone. The plateau also has a historical role: in the past, social, cultural and sporting activities took place on Pilarija. The structure and the site thus represent different aspects of the village: the šterna as a symbol, and Pilarija as the setting for activities in the past.
Piski: marl below Prodani and Krušvari
Piski, also known as the Istrian Sahara, consists of vegetation-free marl areas. They are visible on the slopes below Prodani and Krušvari. This is a different focus from the Prodanska šterna: Piski is a landscape feature, while the cistern is an architectural symbol and the plateau is associated with its historical use. You can therefore consider the landscape and local history as distinct interests during your stay.
Local connection to OPG Krušvar
Another local connection is OPG Krušvar. A 2025 gourmet guide lists OPG Krušvar as a miller at the address Prodani 11 in Buzet. If you plan to visit the address, confirm it in advance.
Hike to Slap Grjok
A 2019 tour description starts the approach to Slap Grjok in Prodani and mentions parking near the last houses. The route follows paths towards the Mirna, crosses water several times and joins a marked hiking trail near the waterfall. The route sections are described as variable and partly unmarked; check the current trail and parking conditions locally before setting out. The circular hike listed there is 9.5 kilometres long. This distance applies to the described route; it may differ if you take alternative routes.
