The castle itself is small and not open for visitors bit the surroundings is amazing! A lot of nature, nice forest which is sorry beautiful during the autumn. There is also coffee shop nearby and ski resort.

In bad condition and could be seen only from outside. Worth to visit only if you are riding through bicycle Trail of the Eagle Nests.

Ruins of the castle which is embedded in the stone. Quite an impressive view. Unfortunately, you cannot go inside as it's permanently closed. If it was renovated as the Bobolice castle, it would be an amazing attraction. Fingers crossed ?!

Very nice place with good infrastructure. There is a parking, toilets and nice cafe with good sausages and pancakes. There are many nice paths nearby through the forest.

Church of St Donatus

The Church of St Donatus name refers to Donatus of Zadar, who began construction on this church in the 9th century and ended it on the northeastern part of the Roman forum. It is the largest Pre-Romanesque building in Croatia.

The beginning of the building of the church was placed to the second half of the 8th century, and it is supposed to have been completed in the 9th century. The Zadar bishop and diplomat Donat (8th and 9th centuries) is credited with the building of the church. He led the representations of the Dalmatian cities to Constantinople and Charles the Great, which is why this church bears slight resemblance to Charlemagne's court chapels, especially the one in Aachen, and also to the Basilica of San Vitale in Ravenna. It belongs to the Pre-Romanesque architectural period.

The circular church, formerly domed, is 27 m high and is characterised by simplicity and technical primitivism.
