Ključica Fortress — Attraction in Grad Drniš

Long time ago we were hiking on the opposite side of of the Cikola canyon an we saw this amazing fortress. And I was thinking that we should explore it. Finally my friend told me that he was already there and will take. There is macadam road and from there easy walk toward the fortress.

The views were nice though but I would recommend sticking to the tourist sites in Krka, otherwise park your car at the top...
