It's a lovely hike through woods. Some parts of the path are very steep, but even if you're not in a particularly good shape (like yours truly) it's more than manageable. We left the car in the village, in front of the church, and it took us about an hour to reach the ruins on foot. The first part of the path is really lovely, it's mostly in the shade and offers views of lovely fields. The part that goes up through the wood is also very lovely, it's very peaceful and quiet.

Quite a well-preserved building. Solidly marked access hiking trail, perhaps a little neglected.

Wonderful and worth a visit After thirty minutes of easy walking along the hill with a well-marked hiking trail, there is a reward in the form of a long forgotten tower that is so close to Nova Gradiška and so unknown and forgotten.

Temple of Edfu

The Temple of Edfu is one of the best preserved ancient shrines in Egypt. It was built in the Ptolemaic Kingdom between 237 and 57 BC.

Edfu was one of several temples built during the Ptolemaic Kingdom, including the Dendera Temple complex, Esna, the Temple of Kom Ombo, and Philae. Its size reflects the relative prosperity of the time. The present temple initially consisted of a pillared hall, two transverse halls, and a barque sanctuary surrounded by chapels. The building was started during the reign of Ptolemy III Euergetes and completed in 57 BC under Ptolemy XII Auletes. It was built on the site of an earlier, smaller temple also dedicated to Horus, although the previous structure was oriented east–west rather than north–south as in the present site.
