The area’s well-tended walking trails invite couples, groups of friends and pet owners on pleasant strolls through varied forest landscapes. Whether you need a break, recreation or just some fresh air, you’ll enjoy the beautiful landscape and have a chance to spot a deer or hawk. The dry stone walls, known locally as groma\u010da<\/a><\/em>, are particularly interesting. They stretch along the paths, support the old terraced gardens, and surround the small kali\u0107i<\/a><\/em> ponds that were once used for watering animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Milohni walking trail <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Ple\u0161ivac walking trail<\/strong><\/h2>\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<\/em> 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

Lon\u010deva Gri\u017ea walking trail <\/strong><\/h2>\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<\/em> means 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\n\n\n

The Puti\u0107 od mi\u0107e i vele sopele trail<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The \u2018Puti\u0107 od Mi\u0107e i Vele Sopele\u2019 trail provides not only walking and recreational opportunities, but also acquaints visitors with one of the most significant people of the Halubje and Kastav areas \u2013 the composer, ethnomusicologist and music teacher Ivan Mateti\u0107 Ronjgov.  Part of the trail takes you to a small resting spot shaped by dry stone walls, a typical architectural element locally known as groma\u010da<\/em>. 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

If you find yourself in Vi\u0161kovo in April, you can take part in the guided walking tours under the title \u2018Priprema, pozor, sad!\u2019 (Ready, steady, go!) and get to know our area together with the guides of Vi\u0161kovo Hiking Club and other nature lovers. In autumn, join us for a walk along the trails of the Halubajski zvon\u010dari <\/em>bell ringers called \u2018Pro\u0161e\u0107i se z manun\u2026 po zvon\u010darskeh puteh\u2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
