Why it is worth your time
Drežnik Old Town crowns a crag above the Korana canyon at the edge of Drežnik Grad, its walls a reminder of centuries spent guarding this stretch of border against Ottoman territory. What remains today is roofless and weathered, stone against sky, but the position alone explains why it was built here. The view over the canyon is worth the climb on its own.
