The settlement is located 5 km southeast of Lupoglav. The first settlement was an old fortress built in a strategically interesting and important place, on a narrow protruding rock that is surrounded on three sides by the precipices of torrents that flow from Učka. Around 1700 it was already in ruins. North of the fort was the church of St. Peter and Paul, but it was also demolished in World War II and was thoroughly rebuilt in 1997.Not far from the place is one of the most attractive sites of the Uchka Nature Park - Vela (or Vranjska) Draga canyon, a natural phenomenon and a reserve of natural origin which natural forces - earthquakes, winds, sun and water - began to form in the Cretaceous. You can find out more about this wonderful locality on the geological educational trail Vela Draga

I discovered a lot about this wonderful locality on the geological educational trail especially about its development from the ancient times up to now. I also toured the ruins of the old fortress which was built on a narrow protruding rock surrounded by precipices of torrents on the three sides. Ideal destination for historians.

We enjoyed our nature walk to the nature park at this place. The sight of untouched vegetation and lush greenery was amazing. The wild flowers grew tall emitting their sweet scent into the clear air. The wind blew gently making us feel relaxed and happy. We enjoyed our walk and later sat at our hotel balcony watching the sunset and listening to the birds chip as they prepared to retire for the night.

I enjoyed my visit, the location is full of history with ruins that have interesting stories from the past. But the main and best experience is actually getting the chance to view Draga Canyon that is located in Uchka Nature Park - Vela (or Vranjska) near Vranja, a beautiful creation of nature. I would recommend a visit to this place
