If you're around Bihać, the trip to Ostrožac castle is well worth it! It has an amazing view and interesting history. The site is just beautiful. The road leading to it from Bihać is brand new and is actually used for uphill racing, so that is a plus for someone who enjoys pushing their car on a nice uphill road ?

It is good to see how the castle from the early years of 20th century has a good shape and isn't damaged from the out.

This historical castle has been through a lot. Most recently owned by an Austrian mayor of Bihac. However it's now in disrepair. For 4 BAM you can enter the courtyard and castle area. The courtyard is the best part with a lot of statues, many erotic. The castle part is basically falling apart. On the second floor is great view of the river Una and countryside. Small cafe with some beverages and souvenirs. Free parking on site. Worth visiting for sure.

Really interesting historical monument and a must-see place. There are 800 years of history that stretch from the entrance to the end of the location. The sculpture colony artworks are placed within the fortes walls that give a special impression to visitors. A kind lady at the entrance will give an insight into the history of the place. Beautiful view from the fortress walls on Una Valley and surrounding mountains.

The castle is in perfect location, it has a parking place too. You have to pay the entrance fee, therefore you can go anywhere in the castle area. Graffiti and crumbling walls inside the main buildings. Climb the castle wall just at your own risk, we went up. It can be seen that the castle is in ruins. It's not problem to us, because we like the ruins too. It's a piece of history. The full castle was beautiful before, you can see the memory of it's beauty. We had a great time and would love to visit the castle even in it's renovated. Thanks for all!

Wieskirche

The Pilgrimage Church of Wies (Wieskirche) is an oval rococo church, designed in the late 1740s by Dominikus Zimmermann. It is located in the foothills of the Alps in the municipality of Steingaden.

The sanctuary of Wies is a pilgrimage church extraordinarily well-preserved in the beautiful setting of an Alpine valley, and is a perfect masterpiece of Rococo art and creative genius, as well as an exceptional testimony to a civilization that has disappeared.

The hamlet of Wies, in 1738, is said to have been the setting of a miracle in which tears were seen on a simple wooden figure of Christ mounted on a column that was no longer venerated by the Premonstratensian monks of the Abbey. A wooden chapel constructed in the fields housed the miraculous statue for some time. However, pilgrims from Germany, Austria, Bohemia, and even Italy became so numerous that the Abbot of the Premonstratensians of Steingaden decided to construct a splendid sanctuary.
