Draglica: Circular Trail, Lake and Wooden Church

Draglica appeals to travellers who want to combine nature, outdoor activity and regional history. At the centre is a 16.82 km circular hiking trail that passes through Draglica and links several notable points of interest. These include the “Crni bor–Lira” natural monument, Tavničko Lake and the wooden Church of the Holy Trinity. This allows you to plan your trip according to your preferred focus: a longer hike, scenic experiences or insights into the history of the area.

Circular Hiking Trail with Tavničko jezero as a Stage

The Murtenica–Draglica–Tavničko jezero circular hiking trail is 16.82 km long and designed as a loop. It passes Tavničko jezero, which is one of the important points along this route. The fixed distance is important for planning your day. If you would like to include a longer hike in your stay, you can make this circular trail a central part of your itinerary. Travellers with different interests can also combine the hiking day with other nature- or culture-related activities in Draglica.

The trail also leads to the wooden Church of the Holy Trinity in Draglica. This gives the hike a cultural dimension in addition to the landscape experience. The church can be included as a destination along the route when planning your trip, without having to devote your days exclusively to one activity.

Natural Monument and Lake with an Unusual Origin

The “Crni bor–Lira” natural monument is located in the village of Draglica. The name refers to a specific natural site in the area and adds another reason to engage with the landscape alongside the circular trail. For travellers who want to do more than simply cover distance on a hiking trip and also take in distinctive natural features, this site is one of Draglica’s interesting attractions.

Tavničko Lake also has a special history: it formed in a former mine shaft. This origin distinguishes it from an ordinary natural lake and gives the landscape an additional, unusual accent. Together with Tavničko jezero along the circular trail, it creates a varied picture of the area in which nature and the history of human use can be seen side by side.

Wooden Church of the Holy Trinity

The wooden Church of the Holy Trinity in Draglica was consecrated on 6 June 2017. The circular hiking trail leads to this building, allowing it to be incorporated into an active exploration of the area. The church also houses a copy of the icon of the Most Holy Mother of God “Milk-Giver”, which Archimandrite and Abbot Metodije presented to the church. These details give the cultural focus a personal and religious dimension.

Next to the church, memorial plaques and a memorial cross commemorate participants from this area in the wars of 1912 to 1918. Another memorial plaque at the entrance to the churchyard commemorates Radivoje Savković, who died on the island of Vido in 1916. The memorial plaques and memorial cross are located to the right of the entrance to the churchyard. Anyone interested in local history can plan this area as an additional part of their exploration of Draglica.
