You are located in Grkavac, one of the most important and most sensitive points of Krivošije defense zone. The crossroad of vital communications proved to be a weak point during the First Krivošije Uprising in 1869, when the Austro-Hungarian army was defeated by incoparably weaker insurgents from Krivošije. The importance of this pass is also evidenced by the fact that in the period after the Uprising, until the end of the 19th century, as many as 12 fortresses were built around it.
