Description of the trail 

The trail that can be categorized as a moderately easy trail starts from the Village of Brodec, or more precisely from the upper part of the village, where after a short and steep climb, it continues on a wide unpaved road and heading north/northeast leads us to the village of Vejce. This route, although not suitable for vehicles, is used for communication between these two villages. What is characteristic for this part of the trail is the entrance to the village of Vejce. Arable lands and people working on them can be spotted on the upper and lower side of the trail before the entrance to the village. The trail enters the village and passes it in the direction north to the right side of the Dojranska River. A mild climb leads us to the rocky area of ​​the river itself, where after a short walk towards the northeast we arrives to the waterfalls of the Dojran River.
