Poklon, pass on the road Vranje-Veprinac, through Učka, at 922m<br />

above sea level. Before the construction of the istrian railway in<br />

1876, pilgrims from Istria and Rijeka traveled across Učka on foot.<br />

At the Poklon pass, from which you can see all of the Kvarner bay,<br />

they would bow and take an oath to the church of Our Lady of<br />

Trsat. It is an untranslatable fraze, poklon in Croatian means to<br />

bow.<br />
