CLIMBING TO THE TOP OF GOLUBAC FORTRESS 

I've visited Golubac fortress last week! Incredible views and amazing history. The ride through the villages was great too! Much better than a boring highway. Great video, Brad!

Very nice promotion of a Serbian touristic destination. Thank you!

Brad is the best Serbia ambassador 👍👏🙏

This is, by far, the best video of Golubac fortress that's on RU-vid! Excellent job, Brad!

This is wonderful.

Fun fact... Golub,.. pigeon in English. So, Golubac would be pigeon city or something like that or place where pigeons live . You saw pigeons still flying around that place. 😊

Thx for sharing! So nice to see the top of Golubac from the top vantage point in your vid. Did you see Smederevo and Ram Fortresses too? We did them all in in the same day plus Silver Lake. It just didn’t leave us the extra time we needed to tackle that hike up. We really enjoyed our day visiting Golubac. We will go to the top next time!

Hvala Bret odlicno i drago mi je da si otisao na drugi sprat muzeja i dao nam sansu da vidimo kostime koji su prelepi .A sto se tice jednostavnog zivota sta je tu problem mozes ako hoces.Kupi neku kucicu na selu sa imanjem 20-30 ovaca par kokoski 1 kravu i malo baste i to je to.😁❤️😃

45:46 So glad you did go up the stairs. Those costumes are out of this world. I never saw close ups of medieval Serbian attire! There must've been a lot of peasants making them. These are just amazing.

Nice... Was waiting for this video It's on my list 💪🏻 Maybe I can swim home also, since on the other side is Romania (also the girl was speaking awesome English)

This video was amazing and very informative! Definitely very helpful in the terms of what to expect. Thank you for sharing it with your audience.

Not ancient toilets, rather defensive holes, put Canon balls thru or hot oil... :-D

Wao... Y were in my neighborhood. Literally in my backyard. :) wish we met, hope you had a good time. I grow up there, jumped from fortress wall, fishing near by, everything before reconstruction and commercialization... The most beautiful national park lies beyond fortress.

That's medieval music!

Holly shit that looked so beautiful and scary at the same time

What a climb and on a hot sunny day! Good thing you had running shoes.

Thank you Brad for an amazing video! I'm a Serbian living in Australia..and as you probably know can't leave🇦🇺.... it's been almost 2 years😔so this video mean so much to me...

It's very nice fortress, i hope you had good time. 😊🙌🏻 The female medival clothes are so beautiful i would wear that! 😍

Brad thanks to you were all can see again part's ours beautiful country! Hvala mate! Nisam ni znao da toliko lijepih krajeva ima ,thanks to internet. 🤩

Maybe the only fortress in Serbia that was never conquered.

great, thank you so much

Nice video and thank you for sharing it with us!

Thanks for the video! I'd never, ever, for life, go up myself there! I believe some of those holes in the towers were not toilets but a way to draw supplies up using ropes. I'd also suggest visiting Silver lake (Сребрно језеро) and having lunch in one of numerous good restaurants there.

nice video thanks for sharing

thenks for this beautiful video and beautiful promotion of Serbia ,costumes you saw r made by impressive costume designer Stefan Savkovic and his team fot tv show Nemanjici

it is easy,no problem...1sec later...help me xD

Amazing 😍

Maybe those holes were for throwing stones or hot oils on invaders?

The old adage comes to mind: 'NO PAIN NO GAIN'.

👍👍👍

I am Hungarian and the fortress Hungarian name is "Galambóc". The "pigeon" is "galamb" in Hungarian. The "bóc" word is probably a transformed form of "dúc". The "dúc" in the Hungarian meaning "pigeon loft". (A structure for keeping pigeons, usually built on a high place or on legs, with separate enclosures with a lid, where the pigeons intended for breeding nest. ) So the "pigeon loft" in Hungarian is "galambdúc". The galamb in Latin is "columba" and in Greek is "kolumbo" (what means "fly away"). Golubac was replaced in Roman times by a fortress called Columbaria, probably built by Emperor Trajan. (It was Trajan who built the road network more thoroughly, and also erected a bridge connecting the two shores of the Iron Gate, the memory of which is preserved by a stone-carved sign, "Tabula Traiana.") Anyway thank you Brad Beckett for this very interesting video. I have been researching the history of medieval Hungarian castles, temples and fortresses for a long time and Golubac has always been one of my favorites. Among other things, because of the amazingly beautiful and picturesque environmental conditions. Golubac Fortress has often become the property of the historic Hungarian Kingdom, so it is an integral part of our history. I remember the fortress when it was still ruined and tourists were forbidden to visit. I’m especially happy to have it restored, so at least in addition to being accessible, it offers an even more amazing sight. I’m also grateful for the video because I’ll probably never climb the top of the fortress (I’m incredibly acrophobic) so I can enjoy the view at least through the video.

They should have more stringent requirements for that 3rd level, only mountain climbers and there should be extra security measures (ropes and what not). This is too risky and makes no sense for a tourist attraction. My 2 cents.

was there last week too...because of the weather the black zone was closed...so i just climbed the blue zone...and fuck that looks dangerous

Yes, those holes are toilets. All European castles have the same thing, except that in some places they are made just like those here, and in others they are made entirely of wood.

MOJ GOLUBAC ❤️❤️❤️ MOJA LEPA SRBIJA 🇷🇸❤️🇷🇸❤️

Bravo
