The Istrian desert is one of the breathtaking sceneries Istria has to offer. Did you know that Istria also has its own desert? Near the town of Šterna not far from Grožnjan is the ‘Istrian desert’, which consists of “dunes” of marl or tašela, as this fine-grained sedimentary rock is often called in Istria.
