I could use a looser tap and maybe with a manual. As a disabled and elderly person, I do NOT have the strength for the faucet that is there and which is not for normal people ???. The gardeners had also removed more than DKK 400 worth of planted flowers instead of helping to water in the heat we have had this summer. You are mad ?????

Worth seeing church. One should not overlook the grave in the basement alcove. Very neat cemetery with a good view of the bridge to Møn.

Herceg Novi Old Town

Herceg Novi was founded (on a former small fishing village, existing since Roman Empire times) as a fortress in 1382 by first Bosnian King Stjepan Tvrtko I and was called Sveti Stefan or Castelnuovo. The Turks conquered Herceg Novi in 1482, and ruled for 200 years, until 1687. However, there was a short pause between 1538 and 1539 when it was held by the Spaniards before they were defeated in the Siege of Castelnuovo. Turkey ruled again until 1687, from then until 1797, the town was ruled by the Venetian Republic.

The Herceg Novi old town is amazing. It is on a fairly steep hill that leads all the way down to the sea. Wandering through the small stairways to the various plazas and fortresses is a many hour adventure.
