The legend of the petrified dragon is connected to the village of Umoljani. A large snake-dragon came out of the Rakitnica canyon, which is 3km away from the village, and passed through Studeni potok, meandering with the intention of destroying the whole village and eating the villagers. When they noticed the danger, the villagers retreated to the hill of Pošijak and began to pray to God that the dragon would be petrified. God answered their prayers and in the rock one can still see the shape of that petrified monster. That is why the village was named Umoljani.

This trail is the most interesting and most attractive for all hikers and nature lovers in Herzegovina. Hajdučka Vrata is located in the eastern part of the Čvrsnica mountain. It is an unusual natural phenomenon of extraordinary beauty, which causes astonishment and admiration. Centuries-old atmospheric influences (winds, rains and the sun) have made a circular opening in the rock – a magic ring about 5 meters in diameter. Unfortunately, due to the continued effects of erosion, which made Hajduk Gate, this miracle of nature is disappearing more and more day by day. Therefore, in fear that he might almost collapse, the mountaineers hike him with special honor and reverence, to see this miracle. According to the legend, the stone ring, that is, the Hajduk Gate, was a place where renegade boys from this area declared themselves bandits. Once they pass through the Hajduk Gate, they vow to guard the company and be its exemplary member. They are located at 2000 meters above sea level, where the hijackers could be safe from any chases and persecutions. Easy path leads to the beautiful Crvenjak lake which is located at 1970 m above sea level. We try to immortalize the idyllic scene with many photographs. This lake is especially interesting because, as they say, it does not change its shape, nor the amount of water, nor the temperature of the water regardless of the season. In winter, the lake freezes and it is possible to skate on it.
