The Mirna (Croat. Rijeka Mirna , it. Fiume Quieto , Latin. Ningus ) is a 53 kilometer long river in the Istria County in Croatia .
The river has its source in Hum and flows into the Adriatic Sea near Novigrad . Larger places on the bank of the river are Motovun and Buzet . The mean discharge is 16 m³ / s.
Today's lower course of the river was still a sea bay cut into the land in ancient times. The river was navigable for smaller vessels as far as Livade / Levade, a district of Oprtalj / Portole . The 78-79 built Via Flavia , which connected Tergeste (Trieste) via Colonia Pietas Iulia Pola (Pula) with Tarsatica Romana (Rijeka) and Tarsata Liburna (Trsat) , crossed the river at what is now Ponte Porton.
In the river valley around Livade / Levade is the forest of Montona (Motovunski šume / Bosco di Montona). It was a controversial subject for a long time and was nationalized after 1816, at that time it was a condominium for the cities of Oprtalj / Portole and Motovun / Montona . In his function as the imperial-royal naval forest manager of the coastal domain inspection , Josef Ressel developed the forest into an important source of wood for the shipbuilding of the kuk Kriegsmarine .
