Hrvatska Kostajnica
In the center of Pounje is the symbol of Croatian Christianity - Hrvatska Kostajnica. Namely, the first records of churches and chapels in this area, built by the Franciscans, date back to the 14th century. Although during the turbulent history of this area a large part of these sacral buildings was destroyed, today the remains of walls and altars are preserved in places surrounded by beautiful nature.Hrvatska Kostajnica is a town of turbulent history, sacred tradition (especially when it comes to celebrating Christmas and Easter) and natural beauty. Take a walk through Santa's forest and discover a local legend, try Kostajnica braids and don't miss drinking water at the famous Tekija well.In a busy everyday life, sometimes you need to get away from everything. Kostajnica is an excellent choice for this - near Zagreb, surrounded by natural and historical beauties. Come and see for yourself.

The symbol of Croatian Christianity at the center of Pounje highlights the first records of churches and chapels in the location. I researched about the Christianity background of the location and how people at that time responded to the religion and I loved the adventure.

We had an opportunity of visiting the place on the Easter holiday and it was totally worth the visit. The people at the place know how to celebrate the festive season and upholding the tradition that has been there for ages. Great moments to cherish and look back at with a smile on our faces with my family.

The history of the place precedes the amazing things that it holds. We took a walk with my friends around the place and bumped into some awesome places such as the famous well and through the beautiful forest that has great nature. Great place for hiking with friends that we had.
