STAP is a large grassy valley with a flat base, surrounded by scenic limestone rock and forests. The most beautiful view of the whole Stap valley can be seen from the rocky Čučavac and from Debeli kuk. Hiking shelter Tatekova koliba on Stap is a nice cottage at the edge of the Stap valley, on the Velebit hiking trail (VPP route) - an ideal starting point for a number of interesting shorter ascents in near surroundings, but also an important overnight shelter on the longitudinal route from Baške Oštarije to Struge. The name Tatekova koliba (Daddy's cottage) comes from the nickname of Slavko Tomerlin, who built and furnished the hut. Water is supplied from narrow cavern, about 30 m from shelter.

Interestingly, using these old techniques, the houses even without air conditioning are more comfortable than the modern houses in Indian cities. In summer, such house has a temperature inside 10 degreees lower comparing to the outside. Nice example how the development in the modern architecture actually led us to a lower standard of living, which is needed to overcome by spending energy and further harming the environment.
