The fish pond Blato was created after the rehabilitation of a failed factory of ceramic tiles in the village of Račje selo. A large number of fish live in the pond and next to it a restored double hayrack from 1902 named Florijan houses an ethnological collection.

On the other side of the clay area is the boggy terrain of the Vejar Valley, where you sway like in a cradle, and the peat is so deep that by oral tradition the Ottoman invaders sunk into the swamp here; proved by smaller than ordinary horseshoes found on the grassland. One of them is attached to a beam on the double hayrack Florijan.
