Sopot Waterfall

Another waterfall in Istria close to Buzet is called Sopot (but is more frequently referred to as Copot), and it is a worthwhile trip. It is situated close to Podbreg along the Reica River. It is unique since it is so high (30 m, the second highest Istrian waterfall after the Vela Draga Rain Waterfall). Water has carved a hole in the rock, through which the water at the peak of the waterfall flows. The lesser-known, more well-known waterfall at the base of Pian shares a name with this one (24.5 m). You'll frequently hear Buzet's Sopot referred to as Copot.

Marine fossils discovered in the neighboring soil and rock are thought to be proof that this location was once submerged under the sea. The falls are flanked by lovely woodlands and a stunning and rolling landscape. They were carved into the surrounding limestone over millions of years. There is a climbing area beside the waterfall. Because of its outstanding beauty and likeness to the setting of the film Avatar, the area is known among climbers as Pandora. A road branch next to "irite" provides access to the village by road. After passing through Brgad, you arrive in Strana after taking a brief macadam route. After roughly 200 meters of descending the asphalt road, a signpost for the climbing area can be seen. The waterfall is a 10-minute walk from here down the walkway.
