Starting from the centre of Lokve, the trail takes you toward the Sopač area, stopping by the Lokvarka cave – the second largest cave in Croatia, which can be explored up to a depth of 70 metres. The cave is decorated with all kinds of calcite formations spanning across several galleries. After exploring the underground, follow the trail up to Brestova Draga and the stone pillars, which are the ruins of a viaduct located on the historical Caroline road. From there on, the trail descends toward Slavica and Belo Selo, where you will want to take a break to visit the Mountain Garden on the Caroline road offering the juiciest blueberries, raspberries and strawberries.

Keep following the trail to the Roswell cowboy village which boasts buildings typical of a small Wild West town, such as a saloon and a sheriff’s office. The village is famous for acting as the setting of a film trilogy centring around the fictional Native American chief Winnetou.
