Went there by bike. Unfortunately, it is a bit difficult to get up because the path was very gravelly, the impression was MEGA! And the fact that the castle is so freely accessible made the whole thing spectacular, of course. (Who needs Heidelberg :-D )

Very nice ruin that is partially worked on. Unfortunately, due to the danger of collapse, only a small part can be visited. On the rock spur is a beautiful place to dream. A castle festival takes place on the 2nd weekend in September. Updated 04/03/2022 Another part is visitable.

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.
