Vela draga is since 1963 protected as a natural area reserve and five years later as a geomorphological monument. In this canyon are impressive rocks and limestone towers upto 100 meters.
The rocks in the Učka are formed between 140 million years ago and 30 million years ago, and by the organism of shells were formed sediment layers, and by compacting and cementing processes it became solid limestone rocks.
By karstification (melting, abrasion and erosion) the canyon got its form.

On the road over the Učka from Istria there is a public water supply on the left with an age of more than 200 years. Probably built during the Habsburg Monarchy when the road over the Učka was built in an area that was more intensively occupied for livestock and agricultural activities. The fountain was then a resting and drinking place. This fountain is connected to a natural water source from the immediate vicinity. The water is popularly called “Napoleon’s water”.

On the fountain the name of Emperor Joseph II of Austria is engraved, which ruled from 1780 -1790.

On the top of the Vojak is an outlook of stone with views on the Kvarner Bay, towns, islands and surrounding mountains.
