Tilderi Nature Trail offers beautiful views of a picturesque river valley, the Tilderi Dolomite Cliff, ancient quarries, and the Giant Vireši Crab Apple Tree, the trunk circumference of which is nearly 3 metres. According to stories, a large apple orchard once grew here, but it was destroyed during wartime, leaving only a single apple tree intact. It looks most beautiful at the end of May when it starts to bloom.
