Relaxing walk
A nice walk in the Gorges, in the shade. Transition between hot and fresh, depending if you are by the river, in the cave, in the water or in the woods (it got really warm then). Careful when walking on the bottom of the cliffs, as rock fall o. The regar bases and it could hurt badly. When going in the cave, make sure you have a nice torch. First because it is very slippery, but most of all to admire the silver and gold reflection from the ceiling and walls. When looking closer, we adentified small droplets. It was just mesmerizing. The woods on the top could easily lead you to long walks, so make sure you know where you come from. Very nice and easy with family's.

Gateway to nature
Just a hour and a half from the capital of Croatia you can enjoy the peace and beauty of the nature. You have to visit 'Vrajži prolaz' (Devil’s passage), 'Zeleni vir' (Green spring) and the cave 'Muževa hiša'. ‘Zeleni vir’ (345 m) is as strong source located at the bottom of a shallow cave at the foot of a seventy meters high cliff. A cliff that is very colorful and along which, like a white curtain, falls the stream and sprinkles the cave’s entrance with thousands of water drops. "Vražji prolaz" is one of the most beautiful Croatian canyons full of wild, romantic beauty. Through a narrow gorge, barely two meters wide, among rocks that are close to a hundred meters high, murmurs the mountain stream Jasle. Above the stream, on supports cut into the rock, galleries and bridges have been made for excursionists. All around there are steep cliffs and below one’s feet rumbles the foamy stream. The path among the noisy elements ends at the foot of the cave ‘Muževa hiša’. An ample hallway, 200 m long, leads you into the depth of the cave, at which end there is a small hall with a lake. After a walk you can rest at mountain lodge and enjoy the bluebarry strudel.
