Spomenik palim borcima u II svjetskom ratu

Spomenik palim Krajišnicima nalazi se na Banj brdu

Ukoliko odlučite da malo predahnete od grada i njegove larme, da malo prošetate po prirodi - ovo bi trebao biti vaš prvi izbor. Lokacija dovoljno izazovna i udaljena za odmor, a ipak dovoljno blizu za manje iskusne.


Postoji nekoliko pravaca za penjanje na vrh brda koji se protežu oko 5 km šumom ili cestom. Takođe, tu je i nekoliko pravaca kroz šumu ka proplanku Trešnjik koji je manje posjećen i nešto zahtjevniji uspon.

Spomenik palim borcima

The monument of the mausoleic type is a work of one of the greatest Yugoslovenian sculptors and craftsmen of memorial plastic of Antun Augustinčić.

It was erected on the place where, in June 1941, a Distric conference of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia for Bosanska Krajina was held together with a few counselings related to the rise of the rebellion. It was made from white stone from Brač, Croatia. It has a unique form, special dinamic line and looked from afar, it seems like a bullet fired in the direction of Krajina (Kozara and Grmeč).

On the frontage of the monument, above the entrance doors, there is a huge figure of a naked young man who holds a flag in his hand. Sideways there are relieves which show the battle against the occupants and after-war construction.

The monument was solemnly opened in 1961 and since then it became a place where visitors came from all over our country, but from other countries as well.
