Our walking and hiking paths are small oases of peace and quiet with a different appearance in every season. This gentle landscape invites you to explore the surroundings of Vi\u0161kovo in a different way.The ancient paths of the area are surrounded by centuries-old dry-stone walls. When taking a walk from one village to another, you”ll come across green groves and deep dolines. This attractive landscape lies just a few steps from the main roads and invites you to take a stroll or ride a bike among the terraced gardens overgrown with indigenous trees, where birds such as tits, blackbirds and jays make their nests while hawks circle above them. Walking on the long or short trails or up the gentle or slightly steeper ascents, the careful observer might spot a deer, fox or marten, or hear the song of a nightingale in the distance! The dry stone walls, known locally as groma\u010da are particularly interesting. They stretch along the paths, support the old terraced gardens, and surround the small kali\u0107i ponds that were once used for watering animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Milohni walking trail invites you to take a walk in an interesting area with a peaceful and quiet atmosphere.

This circular hiking trail, which passes numerous karst gardens and dolines, requires an hour of easy walking and is ideal for an afternoon walk. From the village of Milohni, the trail leads through a forest in the direction of Kastav. After a resting spot, turning left gives you two options. The right path leads to \u0160porova Jama and the town of Kastav, and the one on the left to Bezjaki and some beautiful views of Kvaner. The latter also offers two possibilities. An easier ascent leads to the crossroads \u2013 back to Milohni to the left, or further on in the same direction to Bezjaki. From Bezjaki, the route also leads to Srdo\u010di and Zamet.The Milohni walking trail also leads to Kapitovac pond, located in a deep sinkhole next to the village of Milohni. The access path bordered by dry stone walls leads to a deep sinkhole, and a steep trail goes down to a walled pond overgrown with deciduous trees. By choosing any of these directions, you will get to explore some lesser-known parts of the Kastav area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Puti\u0107 od mi\u0107e i vele sopele trail evokes ancient melodies that have been preserved thanks to the efforts of Ivan Mateti\u0107 Ronjgov, a musicologist whose birth house is located in the immediate vicinity. He once walked on this trail, listened to the songs of the local people as they worked in the fields, and transcribed what he heard into notes.\u00a0Part of the trail takes you to a small resting spot shaped by dry stone walls, a typical architectural element locally known as\u00a0groma\u010da. After about 350 m, you will reach a vantage point offering a view of unspoilt nature and the historical town of Kastav. In every season, the barren karst soil welcomes you into a wooded area overgrown mostly with hornbeams, oaks and low vegetation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Ple\u0161ivac walking trail is suitable for all ages. Its gentle ascents are ideal for recreation and enjoying forest landscapes. This 8.6 km trail connects the villages of Mar\u010delji and Tiblja\u0161i, and its highest peak, Ple\u0161ivac (ple\u0161iv means hairless), lies at an altitude of 429 m. This walking trail is connected to a cycling trail that leads to Ronjgi and the birth house of Ivan Mateti\u0107 Ronjgov, which today serves as a cultural institution and memorial house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Starting from the Old School Mar\u010delji towards the village of Bi\u0161kupi and a resting spot area, the paths begin to fork. The branches lead to Mladeni\u0107i, Petrci and Tiblja\u0161i. One branch leads to Kablari at Drenova. From Tiblja\u0161i, you can join the Rijeka trail Drenova-Pehlin and head towards Rijeka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This 15 km walking trail is more demanding and offers wonderful views of Kvarner Bay, the mountains of Gorski Kotar, and the Kastav and Grobnik areas, especially from the limestone cliffs at the peak of Lon\u010deva Gri\u017ea, 506 m above sea level (gri\u017ea\u00a0means a pile of rocks). This vantage point also features interpretation boards in Chakavian, Croatian and English languages with information on the former quarry at Lon\u010deva Gri\u017ea, where boulders were extracted in the past. A smaller quarry located above the village of Skva\u017ei\u0107i was used for the needs of the village and its surrounding areas. An exhibition of old stone carving and cutting tools on the rock of the old quarry provides information on the customs of the Halubje area.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
