Naplov and Park Hober – From Forteca one can take a walk to the east towards the east side of the town to the area of the town park Hober. Park Hober is in the state register of protected parks-woods. Hober covers the area of 25ha with about 4km of pathways one can walk on and explore. This is a good place to spend a hot summer afternoon, as the area is densely covered with old pine-trees and other Mediterranean plants.
