Include Ostrog deliberately, rather than as another quick stop. Think about how long you want to spend there and keep the return free of compulsory sightseeing. A calm pace matters more than a photo on schedule.
What to see
Ostrog Monastery is associated with St Basil of Ostrog. Its upper complex is built into the rock, with cave churches known for seventeenth-century frescoes. It is an active religious place visited by people of different faiths.
