Izačić: Hotel, Old Town History and Plješevica

The remains of the old town of Izačić lie on a hill on the western edge of the Bihać Valley. In the second half of the 16th century, the old town of Izačić became part of the Bihać Kapetanija. After Izačić came under Ottoman rule in 1592, the walls of the old town were repaired. A strong garrison consisting of four branches of the armed forces was stationed there.

History

Izačić-gradina is among the archaeological remains in the vicinity of Bihać. Alongside the surviving remains of the old town, the name thus represents another historical reference associated with the place. The hill on the western edge of the Bihać Valley, its affiliation with the Bihać Kapetanija and the town walls renewed after 1592 mark different stages in the history of Izačić.

Culture

The “Izačić” memorial room is located next to the border crossing of the same name on the road towards the centre of Bihać. It contains a private collection assembled over many years by a former employee of the former “Željava” military complex. Guided tours of the memorial room are offered for a symbolic fee.

Events

The Bihać city programme for 2018 included the event “Izačiću, ponosan mi budi” on 14 August, organised by the Izačić local community. The 34th edition of the event was also organised by the Izačić local community. It preserves the culture of remembrance of the defenders of this area and the city of Bihać and honours all the martyrs of the Army of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The programme of “Izačiću, ponosan mi budi” included the recitation of a Tevhid for the martyrs at the mosque in Izačić, as well as a visit to the memorial room.

Another traditional event is the Štraparijada in Izačić. During this event, workhorses pull tree trunks. The horses compete in light, medium and heavy categories; they pull the heavy logs individually or in pairs.

Nature

In the surrounding area, above Bihać and Izačić, the Plješevica mountain range offers forests, hiking trails and wide views of the city and the Krajina. Thus, in addition to the historic sites, the area also includes a landscape with forests, trails and distant views.

Geographical Location

At the Izačić border crossing, waiting times for passenger vehicles do not exceed 30 minutes.

When reviewing offers for a hotel in Izačić, compare the respective pages based on specific details. Before booking, the exact location, type of accommodation and occupancy are just as relevant as included services and individual price components. In addition, booking and cancellation conditions can change the financial framework. Especially when planning costs carefully, it helps to compare these fields side by side before deciding on an offer. This keeps the comparison focused on the conditions actually stated.
