Introduction:

  • Bijele stijene (White Rocks) is a 4 km - long chain of rocks of unique beauty, cut with wood and little green dales. Very suitable place for a runaway from noise, pollution and other side-effects of civilisation and summer heat.
  • Bijele Stijene and Samarske Sijene (Saddle Rocks) are protected as a strict nature reserve. The Vihor's trail is one of the most beautiful hiking trails in Croatia. There is no more to say.. it is worth seeing.
