Drežnik Grad
The ruins of a medieval castle above the Korana River gorge, once a military stronghold against the Ottoman Empire, with views over the valley.
Drežnik Grad was built in the 13th century and went through the periods of the Frankopan family and the Military Frontier. Its walls and towers survive as ruins, and some have been restored. From the top of the castle, you can look down on the deep Korana gorge, a lovely view that few tourists see. It is about 10 km from Entrance 1 of the Sixteen Lakes, a convenient detour by car, and admission is free.
