A Medieval Fortress
We continue our drive through a valley until we reach a middle-aged fortress located in a nearby village of Dunave. It looks magnificent and it has been a border and important stronghold during the 15-16 century. For more than 300 years it has been completely forgotten. It offers a stunning view of the valley from the other side and the fortress itself has been renovated. We will enter the fortress and have a walkthrough. Some amazing stories are hidden behind the fortress walls.

Forest, River
Afterwards, we are coming down nearby a beautiful river source, where we will pass near old mills and have a short stroll through the forest. With an effort of the local people some of those mills have been reconstructed and today they are a great example of everyday life as it looked like not long ago. The way people ironed and softened different type of materials back then is quite amazing. We will make a short break to have a local drink.
