Why Golubac Fortress matters
Golubac looks like a castle from a fairy tale, with towers rising straight from the water at a narrow spot in the river. It has changed hands between many powers, and has been restored in recent years. It sits at the entrance to the Djerdap gorge, one of Europe's most spectacular river stretches, and the drive along the river is part of the experience.
Talking points
- Towers rise straight from the Danube.
- It changed hands between many different powers.
