During the summer holidays of 2016 we were on our way to the Krka waterfalls in Croatia when we saw large buildings looming in the distance. My curiosity was aroused and after visiting the falls we immediately drove back to the place we had seen. Because it was already evening and we still had to drive a long way back to our holiday accommodation, the explore took no longer than half an hour, but I was determined to return again!

Petrova Gora Monument 🇭🇷 – Communist monument built in memory of the Croatian partisan victims of World War II
This huge memorial building at the mountain Petrova Gora is dedicated to the uprising of the people of Kordun and Banija, to remember those who fought bravely against the spread of fascism during 1941 and 1942. The site has fallen into severe disrepair however, with many of the polished metal panels falling away from the building to expose a skeletal frame.
Castle Bosiljevo 🇭🇷 – Abandoned for decades but still an unique cultural heritage of Croatian history
Many beautiful castles and fortresses are located all over Croatia as a result of rich and turbulent history. Among them is Castle Bosiljevo, one of the most magical urbex locations you will ever visit. Normally this castle is not open for visitors, but an urban explorer always finds a way in. This time me and my wife were very lucky…the gates were open!
