Monument of culture – a tribute to human work and
perseverance
The trail starts in Rukavac, at the parking lot below the
Kinkela House, and continues towards Gornji Rukavac and the Lisina protected
area. The old Žejane-Zvoneća-Bukvina road takes us above the hamlet of Perka
where we turn for the fields of Zvoneća – Zvonejski njivi. The viewpoint,
with its monument to human labour, offers a vista of the protected fields. From
there, we continue towards Zvoneća along a gravel path.
On this route, we also
pass along the paths where zvončari have been ringing their bells for
centuries, as well as through the sinkhole called Breški dol.
