Korita

The jewel of the Ćićarija mountain range

The source of Korita lies at 45 minutes' walking distance from the village of Brgudac. It can be reached on a path that leads through a dense hornbeam and oak forest, with an occasional spruce and many protected plants and animals.

Located in a meadow under the Brajkova stijena cliff, this source of drinking water pours into ten solid wooden troughs, beneath which is a rather large pool rich in plant and animal life. This facility played a very important role in the life of local people because it was a major water source for them and their cattle.




A rest area at the source offers a wonderful view of the Učka massif. Interpretation boards explain the cultural and natural significance of this spot.


Not far from the source is the Na Koritima mountain hut, which at weekends offers accommodation and refreshments.

If you intend to stay overnight in the hut, we recommend first checking its availability with the Glas Istre mountaineering club.
