The Orjen Development and Protection Agency – manager of the Orjen Nature Park and the Subra Mountaineering Club, with the support of the Secretariat for Ecology and Energy Efficiency, are organizing an educational walking tour through the Ljuti KrŠ locality on Sunday, March 22, on the occasion of World Forest Day and World Water Day. The tour includes an introduction to the forest species adapted to life in this unusual environment, but also to the waters in the karst, pointing out the importance of their protection and preservation.

“The Angry Karst itself is, looking from the side, a lifeless and very difficult to pass rocky terrain. But, when we get closer to this terrifying landscape, we will quickly notice that it is intersected by narrow green corridors, used for centuries for shepherds’ paths and cattle grazing, so that there are also diverse forest and meadow plant communities. Large areas of massive rocks provide shade and conduct rainwater to these green oases, ensuring their survival, thanks to which species that we could not expect to thrive in Ljuti karst. The combination of extremely rugged and rugged terrain, full of jutting viewpoints, but also pits and caves, with real forest “tunnels”, makes Ljuti karst so special and worth a visit, according to the Agency for Development and Protection of Orjen.

Gathering of those interested is at 9:00 a.m. at the road widening next to the captured spring, which is located 1 km after the turn for the former Borići motel, on the road Kameno-Ubli. The tour is suitable for people with at least minimal fitness and dexterity for moving on rugged terrain.
