The village is located on the steep, eastern shore of the Istrian peninsula, on cliffs high above the Kvarner Gulf, about 20 kilometres (12 mi) south of Opatija.

[3] "Strokes and Incisions", a site-specific art installation authored by Danish-Austrian artist Sofie Thorsen can be found in the small park next to the bocce court at the very entrance to Brseč.

Thorsen was inspired by a primary school in Brseč closing after more than one hundred and seventy-five years of continuous work.

The installation consists of three stone objects whose shapes and colors symbolize paper, and the incised lines represent a fountain pen.

The engraved forms were created on the basis of three pre-existing inscriptions: scribbles from old student notebooks from the closed school, graffiti from a street in Brseč and fragments of manuscripts by Eugen Kumičić.
