Klobuk Fortress
Description
On the steep cliffs that drop vertically toward the Sušica River, 30 kilometers from Trebinje, the walls of Klobuk stand proudly. This most impressive medieval fortress town has defied time for more than a millennium, and its existence was recorded as early as by the Byzantine Emperor Porphyrogenitus. Because of its inaccessible location, the town can still be approached only from the western side.
Although it was damaged in 1878 during the Austrian advance, Klobuk retained its mystical appeal. It has been declared a national monument of Bosnia and Herzegovina and is an essential stop for anyone traveling from Trebinje to Nikšić. A visit to these crumbling walls offers an incredible view and an authentic encounter with the turbulent past of Herzegovina.
