Key facts about the Municipality of Fužine
A 7 km hiking trail for pedestrians and cyclists runs around Lake Bajer. There is also a 6.3 km, completely flat trail alongside Lakes Bajer and Lepenica. The Preradović viewpoint can be reached on a walk from Beach Bar Čoka on Lake Bajer: the route is 2.3 km long and takes 45 minutes. Vrelo Cave is 300 metres long and features stalactites and other cave formations.
Which trails suit your stay?
The two lakeside trails differ in length and description. The trail around Lake Bajer is listed as 7 km and is intended for pedestrians and cyclists. The 6.3 km trail alongside Lakes Bajer and Lepenica is completely flat. If a flat route is important to you, this detail is particularly relevant to your choice. If, on the other hand, you are planning a circular route around Lake Bajer, the 7 km trail is the one to choose. The descriptions refer to different trails, so you should not add their lengths together as if they were a single route.
The walk to the Preradović viewpoint starts at Beach Bar Čoka on Lake Bajer. The one-way route is 2.3 km long and takes 45 minutes. At the top, you can enjoy views of Lake Bajer, Fužine, Ličko polje and the surrounding mountains. This lets you plan a specific walking distance and duration for the outing and know which landscape features are visible from the viewpoint.
Weigh up the cave, the water and the views
At 300 metres long, with stalactites and other cave formations, Vrelo Cave offers a different kind of nature experience from the lakeside trails and viewpoint. It is step-free and suitable for visitors of all ages, including wheelchair users. This can be important when planning together and taking different interests or mobility needs into account.
Lagoxperience rents out SUP boards and kayaks at Lake Lepenica. Swimming is permitted at designated spots on Lakes Bajer and Lepenica. This means you can choose between an activity on the water and swimming at the specifically designated spots. The two offerings involve different activities and should not be confused when planning your day.
When is it worth visiting the Green Market?
The Green Market in the centre of Fužine takes place every Saturday from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. Local produce from family-run farms is on offer there. If you would like to plan a visit to the market, Saturday afternoon is the right time. The produce gives your visit a different focus from the trails, the cave or activities on the lakes.
