Trails
The Labin Hiking Path leads from Crna Punta via the Skitača mountain lodge to Oštri.
The “Path of St. Lucia” leads from the Skitača mountaineers’ lodge through the village toward Brdo and ends at a spring about ten meters below the summit. The trail, considered easy and mostly straight, is regarded as suitable for all age groups. The St. Lucia Spring is located on Brdo; its water collects in a small depression in the rock.
The Vale di Tono Trail runs through Skitača and forms a 15.7-kilometer circular route starting from Kamp Tunarica.
The Bella Vista cycling route connects Labin and Skitača in a 30-kilometer circular route that takes approximately two to two and a half hours.
The St. Lucia Spring can be reached by car from Labin via Brgod and Brovinje to Skitača; from the village, an approximately one-kilometer-long, easy walking trail continues.
The Bella Vista Trail reaches Skitača via Glušići Hill and offers views of the Kvarner. In clear conditions, Venice may also be visible.
Culture
The St. Lucy Church in Skitača was built at the beginning of the 17th century. It acquired its present form in 1924: construction of a bell tower began at that time, but it remains unfinished to this day. The Baroque church has a single nave and features a central marble altar and two wooden side altars.
The Skitača mountain house is a converted old two-story masonry house in the village that was adapted for use by mountaineers.
In the nearby surroundings, north of Skitača in the forested area of Prodol, lies St. Matthew Chapel, a single-nave Gothic structure.
Local Character
At the recurring festival “Skitača – fešta od vina, maneštre, pršuta i sira,” local wines, traditional Istrian maneštra, pršut, and cheese take center stage.
