PROTECTED NATURAL HERITAGE

The rocks of Bijele stijene and Samarske stijene can be accessed by a gravel forest road leading from
Vojni Tuk (3 km from Mrkopalj and 18 km from Delnice) across the field of Matić-poljana and
further on to Mlečikov lug, where a hiking trail branches off for Samarske stijene. Two kilometres
further on, another path branches off for Bijele stijene. The road leads further towards Jasenak, which
means that the area of Bijele stijene and Samarske stijene can also be reached from that side.
