If you're around Bihać, the trip to Ostrožac castle is well worth it! It has an amazing view and interesting history. The site is just beautiful. The road leading to it from Bihać is brand new and is actually used for uphill racing, so that is a plus for someone who enjoys pushing their car on a nice uphill road ?

It is good to see how the castle from the early years of 20th century has a good shape and isn't damaged from the out.

This historical castle has been through a lot. Most recently owned by an Austrian mayor of Bihac. However it's now in disrepair. For 4 BAM you can enter the courtyard and castle area. The courtyard is the best part with a lot of statues, many erotic. The castle part is basically falling apart. On the second floor is great view of the river Una and countryside. Small cafe with some beverages and souvenirs. Free parking on site. Worth visiting for sure.

Really interesting historical monument and a must-see place. There are 800 years of history that stretch from the entrance to the end of the location. The sculpture colony artworks are placed within the fortes walls that give a special impression to visitors. A kind lady at the entrance will give an insight into the history of the place. Beautiful view from the fortress walls on Una Valley and surrounding mountains.

The castle is in perfect location, it has a parking place too. You have to pay the entrance fee, therefore you can go anywhere in the castle area. Graffiti and crumbling walls inside the main buildings. Climb the castle wall just at your own risk, we went up. It can be seen that the castle is in ruins. It's not problem to us, because we like the ruins too. It's a piece of history. The full castle was beautiful before, you can see the memory of it's beauty. We had a great time and would love to visit the castle even in it's renovated. Thanks for all!

Stobi

Stobi was an ancient town of Paeonia located near Gradsko. It is considered by many to be the most famous archaeological site in North Macedonia. Stobi was built where the Erigon (Crna River) joins the Axios (Vardar), making it strategically important as a center for both trade and warfare.

Stobi developed from a Paeonian settlement established in the Archaic period. It is believed that in 217 BCE, Philip V annexed Paionia during his campaign against the Dardani who had entered Bylazora, the largest Paeonian town.

The city was first mentioned in writing by the historian Livy, in connection with a victory of Philip V of Macedon over the Dardani in 197 BC. In 168 BC, the Romans defeated Perseus and Macedonia was divided into four nominally independent republics. In 148 BC, the four areas of Macedonia were brought together in a unified Roman province. In the reign of Augustus the city grew in size and population.
