Nature and landscape

South of Ričice, a rocky plateau stretches along the settlement, covered with pine forest and low scrub. The Green Lake reservoir was created in Ričice in 1985 as part of an irrigation system for Imotsko polje that was never fully completed. Zeleno jezero (Green Lake) is primarily valued for its landscape and recreational appeal.
