They are: Smorinec, Egumenički Vrv, Varadinova (Dzaneva) Čuka, Nuševa Čuka, Sveta Troica, Kolarsko, Sveti Atanas, Štrbi Kamen, Mali Vrv and Ilinski Vrv, as well as the hills Volujak and Drač on the south. The most notable of them is a northern peak called Ilin Krst, which was very likely a main volcanic center and where the largest amount of
