The entire trail of St. Simeon (Sv. Šimun) passes through the area that in the 1970's became a protected landscape. A mixture of marl and limestone resulted in a particularly articulated landscape where valleys along streams were formed in marl areas while more solid limestone formed higher hilltops that dominate the area. The existing arable land is in harmony with intact forest vegetation, all coupled with numerous cultural and historic monuments with motifs of the tyipical architecture of this region.
Then comes about a half walk down a steep descent, an area that abounds in asparagus in the spring. The first village along the way is Žlepčari. The path then continues through the valley until the marked detour where it continues along the stream, to the old bridge and Sopot waterfall, an attractive and not so well - known natural phenomenom. The area around the bridge is an ideal place for rest or if you prefer a picnic. At a five minutes walking distance from the bridge along an easy gradient you arrive to the village Floričići.
