Croatian term or phrase: Okretnica
Staza se proteže uzvodno uz potok u duljini od 325 m, a na njenom kraju je okretnica.

Plus , kako složiti ovu konstrukciju "staza se poroteže uzvodno uz potok"? Zapetljala sam se malo s redoslijedom riječi :) Hvala na pomoći!

turnaround


Explanation:

... ako se radi o okretištu, tj. završetku staze koji je "turn around point"

http://www.dartmouth.edu/~doc/moosilauke/summertrips/
Drive all the way up to the turnaround, reverse direction, and find a parking place back down on the road. Do not park in the turnaround!

Walk back up to the turnaround, continue past the chain and turn left to head down to the Baker River.

Initially paved, this spur road heads southeast 0.1 mile to another spur branching right, which quickly ends in a turnaround at Panorama Point. ...

agree  Vesna Maširević: Slazem se samo sto meni turnaround zvuci kao 'prevelika rec' za jednu stazu.. turnaround - "an area sufficiently large for a vehicle to turn around" http://img.tfd.com/wn/CC/63A89-turnaround.gif

  -> sigurno ima nešto bolje:), zapravo i ne znam što je okretište (okretnica nije najstandardnija hrv. riječ) na nekoj stazi, pretp. možda neki plato, vidikovac, livadica... no vjerujem da je to kraj staze pa bi trebalo nekako izreći al možda sam i u krivu
