In order to improve the living conditions of rural residents through sustainable development of tourism and agriculture while preserving the natural and cultural-historical heritage of rural parts of the municipality, the pedestrian trail Hrasno-Vlahinje has been reconstructed over a length of 3,025 meters in the past period.
Eleven pergolas, 35 benches, and 22 trash bins have been
installed. Specifically:
Along the Hrasno-Vlahinje trail, 5 rest areas (Vlahinje
