Ćićarija
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ćićarija seen from Gračišće
Ćićarija (Slovene: Čičarija, Italian: Cicceria) is a mountainous plateau in the northern and north-eastern part of Istria peninsula, 45 km long and 10–15 km wide. It mostly lies in Croatia, while its northern part lies in Slovenia. The highest peak is Veliki Planik at 1,272 m.a.s.l.[1]
At 7 inhabitants per square kilometer (2001), Ćićarija is sparsely populated, due to its karst landscape, poor economic development and rough climate.
