There are walking paths around Jasna, and the forest path along the Mala Pišnica valley, which was abandoned after the earthquake in 1980, has its beginnings here.[2] Next to the lake, in addition to the apartments, there is also a playground and a bronze statue of an Ibex on a natural rock, created between 1986 and 1988 by the sculptor Stojan Batič.
