I visited the two monumental forts in this location and was awed by historical heritage of the location. The one located at the top of Mali Kalnik and the one at Veliki Kalnik. I will visit again with my sister.

The village was a good visit indeed. The climb to the top of the hill and back was great, walking inside the trees and cool breeze was amazing. The view of the thick forest was amazing

The remains of the forts were great looking at, the history behind it was also good knowledge to carry back home. I learnt that it was once property of royalty family and the queen resided here
