The engine rumbles, gravel spits beneath chunky tires, and a pine-scented wind threads through the open frame—this is Istria from the seat of a nimble off-road buggy. Drivers climb into low-slung machines and cut across ridge lines and forest tracks that regular cars avoid; passengers feel the terrain’s rhythm in each turn and short climb.
