To residents of the area, Nature Park Škarline is an inseparable part of local identity and holds an indelible place in the collective mind. Visitors to the area sometimes fail to discover this perfectly preserved nature park located only two kilometres from Brtonigla and named Škarline after the stream that springs in the park. Along its course to Mirna River, several kilometres to the south, the stream has created a luscious, green canyon, one of its kind in Istria. A two-kilometre macadam track leads from the village of Nova Vas, near Brtonigla, along the edges of vineyards to the nature park. In dry weather, the nature park can be reached by car. To find out how to reach the park directly from Brtonigla, contact the local tourist office. The canyon is not immediately visible from the park entrance. First, you will encounter a tame, spacious landscape with meadows, two small lakes and a bridge. Several benches and a tap for potable water make this picture-perfect area a great spot for a picnic, and fun and games. To hike through the green canyon and follow the stream to where it flows into Mirna River, cross the bridge and carefully climb down the steep sides leading from the small lake. If uncertain which direction to take, just follow the gurgling sound of the stream. Once inside the canyon, you will enter into a new world with a cascade and a pristine watercourse meandering for several kilometres towards Mirna River through thick, shady woodland. The freshness of the air will catch you by surprise. The villagers of Brtonigla say that Nature Park Škarline is an ideal haven against the summer heat. Nature Park Škarline excites the imagination. No one looking for adventure or an invigorating hike will be able to resist following the stream’s course to Istria’s largest river. It would be wise to bring food and beverages with you on this journey through the lush and uncharted regions of green Istria.

Za domaće ljude, Škarline su neizbrisivi dio lokalnog identiteta i opće mjesto u kolektivnoj svijesti žitelja. S druge strane, gosti ponekad ne otkriju da se, svega dva kilometra od Brtonigle, smjestio taj odlično sačuvan prirodni park, nazvan po potočiću Škarline što izvire u blizini. Na svom toku prema rijeci Mirni, u koju se ulijeva nekoliko kilometara južnije, potočić je stvorio bujni zeleni kanjon, jedinstven u Istri. Do Škarlina vodi oko dva kilometra duga makadamska staza iz sela Nova Vas kraj Brtonigle. Put vijuga uz vinograde te ga, za suha vremena, možete savladti i automobilom. U park možete stići i drugim putem, izravno iz Brtonigle, o čemu je najbolje raspitati se u turističkom uredu. Na ulazu u park, kanjon nije odmah vidljiv, već će vas dočekati pitomi, prostrani krajolik s livadama, dva jezerca i mostićem. Tu je i nekoliko klupica te slavina s vodom pa je ovaj skladni predio sjajno mjesto za opuštanje, piknik i dječju igru. Želite li propješačiti zeleni kanjon i slijediti potočić sve do ušća u Mirnu, valja prijeći mostić te se uz jezerce oprezno spustiti strmim stranama. Ako ste u nedoumici kuda krenuti, slijedite šum potočića. Ulaskom u kanjon kročit ćete u neki novi svijet, sa slapom i bistrim vodenim tokom što sljedećih nekoliko kilometara krivuda prema Mirni kroz bujnu, sjenovitu šumu. Iznenadit će vas svježina zraka - Brtonižani kažu da su Škarline idealno utočište pred ljetnim vrućinama. Škarline snažno golicaju maštu pa avanturisti i oni bolje tjelesne kondicije neće odoljeti pohodu uz potočić, do mjesta gdje se stapa s najvećom istarskom rijekom. Na ovom putu kroz bogatu i neistraženu zelenu Istru nije naodmet ponijeti sa sobom ponešto hrane i pića.
