The beautiful landscape and coniferous forest are some of the characteristics of the mountain. You can choose flat or uneven terrain for hiking or cycling, through meadows and forests.

The area of ​​the village and the mountain itself is rich in significant natural values, a unique ecoclimatic phenomenon, various species of plants and animals, and mushrooms.

Hiking

Romanija – Novakova Pećina
Length: 12.6 km

From the Stajna mountain lodge, we take a marked mountain path that leads to Novakova Vrelo, a large mountain stream. The path through the dense coniferous forest leads to Novakova Njiva, and from there, through the rock, to Novakova Pećina. The hiking trail is neatly marked and reinforced with cables because the cave is located on the steep cliffs of Romanija. The cave was named after the old folk hero Starini Novak from the second half of the 16th century. Below Novak’s cave is a spring of drinking water called “Emperor’s Water”. The Constantinople Road, which was once one of the most important roads of the Turkish Empire in Bosnia and Herzegovina, ran next to the spring.
