Tracing Brgujski kapuz in Stancija Kovačići
After finishing our visit to Veli Brgud, we descended to Rukavac, a settlement situated slightly above the centre of Matulji. It lies on the slopes of Orljak and Beljč and is connected by local roads with Opatija and Jušići, while the Rijeka railway line passes nearby. Rukavac has a strong tradition of bell-ringers and bell-ringing processions during the carnival season, which begins on St Anthony’s Day (17 January) and lasts until Ash Wednesday. The Rukavac bell-ringers wear

Brgujski kapuz: red-green treasure of Ćićarija
Veli Brgud, a settlement within the Municipality of Matulji, is situated on the north-eastern edge of Ćićarija, in a fertile field framed by higher, hilly terrain. Although the old road and the motorway linking Rijeka with Rupa and Pasjak run close by, the village itself is free from the noise, haste and tension of modern traffic.

Tragom Brgujskog kapuza u Stanciji Kovačići
Nakon što smo završili posjet Velom Brgudu spustili smo se do Rukavca, naselja smještenog malo iznad centra Matulja.

Brgujski kapuz: crveno-zeleno blago Ćićarije
Veli Brgud, naselje u sklopu općine Matulji, smjestio se na sjeveroistočnom rubu Ćićarije, u plodnom polju uokvirenom višim brdovitim područjem. Premda se u neposrednoj blizini nalaze stara cesta i autocesta koje povezuju Rijeku s Rupom i Pasjakom, u samom mjestu nema buke, žurbe ni nervoze suvremenog prometa. Ovdje se još uvijek osjeća ritam zemlje i godišnjih doba. Veli Brgud poznat je po osebujnoj narodnoj nošnji i brgujskim zvončarima, a uz vrijeme mesopusta neraskidivo s
