A medieval fortress of 7,267 m² with four towers, declared a national monument. Free entry - the view from the ramparts stretches to the border itself.
Svetinja - the spring that flows on its own terms
Water gushes several times a day through a 16-meter limestone cliff. Every May 6, thousands come believing in its healing properties.
