The Prodol Mountain Pass is the lowest part of the Učka mountain ridge, located ‘only’ 568 metres above sea level. The relief characteristics determined the broader historical significance of this area, which partly influenced its landscape diversity. Although traces of the agricultural landscape can be found throughout the area, its most dominant feature is the forests that cover it almost entirely. The prevailing forest cover is basically divided into two parts: a smaller southern part dominated by allochthonous conifers and a larger central and northern part dominated by indigenous forest stands.
