Agricultural landscape and regional tastings

On this route, Jezero Novak is the fourth point and a rest stop; Štrkovača is the fifth point. Štrkovača offers views of the Polača field and the surrounding villages.

The old Church of Saints Cosmas and Damian was built in 1836 southeast of the centre of Polača, next to the local cemetery.
