You can also distinguish between shorter and longer trails based on their stated distances. The educational Lazica Hunting Trail is 1.1 km long and starts and ends at the Lazica hunting lodge. The Planica–Volfi route is 4.9 km long and takes about two hours. A marked trail near Kocijani follows an old, stone-paved cart track. It was used during the time of the Zrinski family between Severin na Kupi and Brod na Kupi. This means that trails with different histories and distances can be considered separately, without combining them into a single route.

Orlove stijene offers a view of the Kupa. From the Parag viewpoint, you can see Brod Moravice and the surrounding villages. The Medveja stena viewpoint is fenced off to protect visitors and has a bench. There is also specific information about the route to Parag via Kuti: you can reach the viewpoint by car in a few minutes, or on foot in about 20 minutes. The viewpoints thus offer different perspectives and each has its own features.

The Stenica–Medveja stena hiking trail is 1.6 km long and takes about 40 minutes. This information provides a useful guide when fitting a trail into your day’s plans. It describes this hiking trail; its distance and duration cannot be applied to other trails in the municipality.

Delač House is the oldest preserved house in Gorski kotar and was built in 1644. Today it serves as an ethnographic museum displaying traditional objects. The stone Kula Turanj offers a different historical perspective: a prince from the Zrinski family had it built as a defensive fortification against the Ottomans in the late 16th century. The tower displays replicas of contemporary weapons, copies of maps and documents, and records about the history of the tower and Brod Moravice.

Piljdak also connects a specific place with a story passed down through generations. The stone signal pillar stands at the crossroads of the Brod Moravice–Moravička Sela–Maklen routes. According to local tradition, fires were lit there during the Ottoman period to warn the population of their arrival. The installation “Buna Bunar” by Japanese artist Akiko Sato is also located in Gornji Kuti. It consists of hand-carved doors on a well and was installed as part of Rijeka – European Capital of Culture 2020.

The Kolarnica, an exhibition space in a former workshop, showcases traditional crafts. It presents crafts from the Brod Moravice area, including the making of wooden carts. The Hrvatska čitaonica sela Kuti was founded by local residents in 1936 and has been run by volunteers ever since. Religious sites are also part of the Camino Gorski kotar in Brod Moravice. The Church of Saints Peter and Paul in Podstene acquired its current appearance during the restoration of 1837.
