Grabovica Trail - Rediscovering the Natural Heritage at the Border of Duvanjsko Polje

Gradual changes of the socio-economic situation of the area during the last 50 years resulted in the final abandonment of traditional cattle grazing which was practized in Grabovica since pre-Roman times. With cattle grazing the stockman's houses in the mountains – locally called stanovi – have been abandoned, too, and human life retreated from the mountains back to lower areas at the bottom of the surrounding karst poljes. After the disappearance of people from Grabovica plateau former infrastructure, like houses, trails and puddles, which have been used until recently were overgrown by vegetation. For the Project „Grabovica trail“ which was implemented by the local NGO «Naša baština», some of the old trails on Grabovica plateau, in particular those on of the northern part, wil be reused. By the renovation of old trails the project intends to make the karst phenomena of Grabovica plateau, like the collapsed dolines Veliki Samograd, Mali Samograd and Surdup, accesssible for the public.
