Debela Griža, Volčji Grad

The slopes of the Karst are filled with remnants of prehistoric settlements and fortified sites where prehistoric peoples sought protection. These are still recognized by their stone walls created in drywall construction technique, continuing to impress aeons later with their monumental form.

Debela Griža at the edge of the village Volčji Grad is a remnant of a great fortified flatlands site from the Bronze and Iron ages, likely dating to 8th century B.C. The fortified settlement with the external perimeter of some 850 m and internal perimeter of some 680 m was the centre point of other nearby settlements. It was surrounded by a single, at some points double wall, constructed from vast amounts of rock.
