Over the Turjak and Pliš mountains our destination is Mount Mališčak
Botanical path
One of the instruction boards placed along the path
An unexpected encounter on the mountain, the Slavonians are proud of their horses.
This we didn’t like …
A view from mount Pliš of Velika in the plain …
Crossing of mountain paths …
We are near the top…
A lookout on the Mališčak
Velika, a view towards south-east …
Northwest - north …
Nearby there is a mountain house PD Mališčak of the open type
This cross is set up in memory of Pope Ivan Pavel II...
Returning from Velika near the church we come upon a bustle ..
It happens the competition in preparing dishes of fish!
One of the specialties, the carp on the rod
The palate is a measuring instrument…
Craftsmen in action …
A necklace as a charm !?
