Golubac Fortress, Serbia: Definitely Worth The Climb

Serbia is one of my favorite countries. I don't speak the language, and I've never lived here, but I do love this country a lot. It's simplicity, the conservation of historical sights and values, and the exceptional hospitality of the people are all top-notch.

I live next to the country, just across the Danube, and I visit frequently. Today, I went with a few friends to the Golubac Fortress, which is roughly 100 kilometers away from my town. The day was quite hot, I must admit, but the visit was well worth the time and effort.

By effort, I mean physical effort, as you really need to climb a few stairs to see its chambers and all of its rooms. I didn't go all the way to the top, but I did explore most of it.

I'm not sure how many of you reading this post will actually visit, but if you do, you can be assured it's worth your time and money. The full-access ticket costs only $10, but you should know you'll burn a few calories exploring everything.

If you drive from Romania, you'll also get to enjoy the nice view that the Serbs have of the Danube. I took a few photos of that too. Oh, and for history enthusiasts, here are a few lines from Wikipedia. Enjoy the pictures, though – they have more meaning than words can convey.

The Golubac Fortress (Serbian: Голубачки град or Golubački grad) was a medieval fortified town on the south side of the Danube River, 4 km (2.5 mi) downstream from the modern-day town of Golubac, Serbia. According to recent discoveries, the fortress, which was built during the 14th century by Medieval Serbian state, is split into three compounds which were built in stages.

It has ten towers, most of which started square, and several of which received many-sided reinforcements with the advent of firearms. Towers were not connected for easier defense. Serbian Medieval frescos were recently found inside the fortress.
