Drakuljica Fortress
Remains of an old fortress on a hilltop above the lake, with a panoramic view of Bileća Lake and the surrounding mountains.
Drakuljica Fortress is situated on a hilltop above Bileća Lake and represents one of the most attractive historical sites in the Bileća area. The remains of the fortification bear witness to the strategic importance of this position, which controlled the valley and the passage into the interior of Herzegovina. The exact origin and dating of the fortress are subjects of ongoing research by historians and archaeologists.
The view from the fortress over Bileća Lake and the surrounding limestone hills is exceptional. The site is especially popular in the late afternoon, when the setting sun colours the lake in golden tones. The fortress is reached by a walking trail, and the hike is recommended to all visitors who want to experience Bileća from an unforgettable perspective.
