The
ancient Dobrinj castle acquired its name from the stem of
Croatian word dobar, meaning "good". So if the ascent
of man began in water (and sea is also water), and if the
civilization of man grew from wheat and water, then the good
nature, in providing a man with the good and picturesque Dobrinj
as a center of a collective picture, with twenty-one variously
depicted settlements, perhaps presented him with the most
valuable riches - fertile soil and luxurious sea; a green
and blue plain with mild climate and generous sun, natural
beauties and healthy clean surroundings.
Dobrinj's blue and green pearls include tourist and maritime
Šilo, with its ancient creek, rich tourist offer, a motor
camp, clean sea and gravel beaches.
Lively Soline inlet, native country of pre-Romanic saltworks,
oasis of peace, beauty and health, edged by "live"
postcards: Klimno (wet and dry marina, a motor camp, rich
gastronomic offer), Soline and Čižići (clean and warm sea,
therapeutic mud for treatment of arthritis); stony antique
Rudine (with Vitezić's cave Biserujka which is particularly
attractive to tourists).
Old settlements of Kras, Gabonjin, Gostinjac, Polje, Hlapa,
Sužan... (with numerous historical and cultural sights) -
are convincing natural models for Dobrinj tourist message:
healthy nature for healthy spirit in healthy body.
