It is an awesome thing to visit a place where you are being welcomed by beautiful pictures together with old forts remnants, the place is Kalnik. We got to know more of its rich history that it was once proclaimed as a royal palace. Beautiful people visit places like Kalnik, do not plan to miss.

It is said that the city was divided into three parts which literally explained it's origin. the two parts being located at the top, made us have nice and clear aerial view and it was awesome. The next vacation I will come along with my friends.

Being a lover of history I went to see the remains of the two gotts that this place was known for. I explored the two forts one after another with the help of my friendly tour guide. I was amazed by the rich culture of this place.

We wanted a place with natural forests for our project St school. This was the best place we found. There were many species of trees in this forest that suited our research program. We later had fun at the beach where we swam and took plenty of pictures.

Hiking in Kalnik was a great experience. The vertical cliffs create awe-inspiring views of the valley below which we could not get enough of. This town is another paradise.
