Ninety seconds on Lesendro Fortress
Take the shortest boat trip out of Virpazar to see this fort properly. From the causeway road it goes by in seconds; from the water you see the whole fort on its own rock.
The boat leaves the reed channels and runs under the railway bridge, and the fortress is on the far side. Two circular towers dominate it, with several smaller ones and the shell of the old armoury.
The walls enclose a spacious interior with several buildings, abandoned and unrestored. Beyond the fort the route passes fields of water chestnuts, and when they are in bloom the boatmen will offer you one to taste.
