Videmce

The central part of the valley is a terraced slope covered with forest, and on top, there are the best agricultural areas. The torrents exposed a layer of red clay on tractor paths.

There are no visible accompanying rocks, whereas on the other side, on the other, north side of the hills there are precipitous conglomerate walls made of round pebbles, and the Sava River runs below.
