The first educational ecological path on the island of Cres is called Stoza Tramuntana I, trod down on the initiative of dr. Goran Sušić, grew out of the co-operation of the Ecological center Caput lnsulae - Bell with the association "Svanimir" and the members of the hiking society "Kastav". 

       Ecological path was opened in June 24th 1997, on the day of St. John the Baptist. The path is marked with the known hiking signs red and white circles on the stones that can be found all along seven kilometres long path. One can walk the path in approximately three hours of a slow stroll. There are twenty stations along the path marked by ten major stations and ten intermediate stops. Major stations and intermediate stops on the path are actually stone sculptures carved by well-known Croatian sculptor Mr. Ljubo de Karina. The sculptures fit into the ambience fully and not in the least do they disturb natural harmony. They draw attention to the most valuable natural, cultural and historical sites rounded by the path. In order to help one to orientate and to find desired positions in the published guides the major sculptures were marked by Roman numerals (h, B., 111., IV.,...X) and intermediate stops were marked by Arabic ones (1., 2., 3., 4.,...10). Besides numerals, there is a Glagolic letter on each often major sculptures and these letters designate the name of the path Tramuntana. 

       Besides that, there are verses or philosophical thoughts by Andro Vid Mihičić carved on each of twenty sculptures and these words are placed so very well that their messages respond to the place where the sculptures are placed. The tour of the path begins by visiting the exhibitions displayed in the building of the Eco-centre in Bell. These exhibitions offer to the visitor a complete insight into the area. One can see a big map of the island's flora with the characteristics of all vegetation's types, endemic grasslands, seldom forests as well as get acquainted with the story about the White-headed vultures there. The path leads from the building of Eco-centre in Bell further along klanica (a path from Beli bounded by gromače - stone made walls) well known for a small, over a thousand years old church, now­adays used as a stable, to the ruins of tile medieval church of St. Simeon, which is considered to be built in the 10th century. 

     A place where women used to beat and grind wheat can also be found nearby. The path leads further to the Roman bridge (allegedly built over 2000 years ago by the Roman emperor Tiberius) and it partly runs along the equally old Roman road and through ancient bitter oak and edible chestnut forests. It taps the Cave 0ampari where 1200 years old remains of a bear were found, it visits abandoned villages (Srednji, Petrićevi) but it also brings a visitor to the prehistoric villages and temples (Cerić, Poddupučić). It runs along fresh­water lakes filled with life (Palavanja). One can observe White-headed vultures from the path, and even encounter a Macmalić - fair woodland ghostlike dwarf dwelling on the tree. The path closes a circle. It begins in Bell and it ends there too.
