Merag
Merag is a village and ferry port on the east of the island of Cres. The nearest settlement is the town of Cres (3 km southwest). Merag has only a few permanent residents, and has retained the status of a traditional Croatian village.Next to the place is Meraška jama, a large tectonic cave overgrown with dense laurel forest. Merashka jama is an unusual geomorphological structure carved into the slope, to the left of the ferry port and the village of Merag. This is a rare and very impressive example of the collapse of a valley on the island of Cres. It probably originated in the distant past when the roof of a large underground cave collapsed. The sides of the Meraška Cave are steep and rocky, while at the bottom of the valley a lot of debris and many large boulders have accumulated, as evidenced by the huge fractures and depressions of the rocks that have occurred here in the past.

I had an adventurous trip visit the Mraska jama Cave. It was such a thrilling experience. This place has very unique land formation features. It is a perfect destination for people interested in land formation processes.

The land formations in this place were vivid and spectacular. I loved spending time here, hiking its mountains. The people were so friendly and hospitable. By observing their way of life one could tell about their culture.

I toured the Merashka jama cave in this location and was awed by the natural beauty of the location. It is a tectonic cave with dense forest. I learned that it was formed after the collapse of a valley in the location. It was a great experience to experience such beauty in nature.

The laurel forest in this location is green, luscious, and thick. During my visit, I toured with my colleagues around the forest and enjoyed connecting with nature. I got to learn about tree species that I did not know of and saw wild animals that I had never seen. It was a great experience.

I got rich history of Merag that it is a village and a ferry port on the Island of Cres. It is also a cool place to have more education about tradition since it has few permanent residents which has maintained its traditional statues. It is good to learn on what was there before our existence to maintain old cultures.
