Fair Trail
The Fair Trail from Vinica to Žuniči takes us through the Regional Park Kolpa. In the past, the trail was used by people from nearby and faraway villages, as well as from neighboring Croatia, when they led livestock to the fair in Vinica. The traditional hike around the trail takes place every spring. A part of the trail takes us along the picturesque Kolpa River and passes abandoned mills and sawmills, while the rest of the trail winds through villages and forests. We can admire a typical landscape of the region, and observe various natural and cultural treasures.
Traditional hike: third Saturday in April
