Limestone erosion on the mountain created a total of 14 limestone fields, which are located in the limestone region of the Bistra: Tonivoda, Govedarnik, Bardaš, Sultanica, Solomunica, Suvo Pole, Small and Big Brzovec, Čukni Topanica, Lower and Upper Poljce, Tri Bari, Tri Groba, and Lazaropole.[1]
Much of the mountain's area lies within the boundaries of the Mavrovo National Park, which is known for its flora and fauna.[2]
