The tour starts on Poklon, a mountain pass that connects the massifs of Učka and Ćićarija and includes the Poklon mountain
hut, the Učka pension and the Učka Nature Park information kiosk and souvenir shop. From Poklon, set off towards Učka’s
highest peak, Vojak, through a littoral beech forest following the markings and signposts. Once you reach Vojak, you can enjoy
a very attractive panoramic view of the surrounding landscape. In addition to being a magnet for numerous climbers and hikers,
Vojak has recently become very popular among paragliding and hang-gliding enthusiasts. On the way back down the asphalt
road, after some five hundred metres you will reach a display board inviting visitors to take the well-tended Plas educational trail
through the forest with several belvederes, places to rest and interpretation boards explaining more about the plant and animal
species that inhabit the peak areas of Učka. The Plas educational trail is connected to the trail that leads to Poklon.
