Ančnikovo gradišče, Archaeological site in Slovenska Bistrica, Slovenia.
The fortified settlement stands at 750 meters above sea level, with steep rocks on the northeastern and eastern sides and defensive walls around other sections.
Archaeological excavations in 1996 revealed that the settlement existed through the 6th century, with remnants of late antiquity and early medieval fortifications from the 4th century.
The bronze statues of Mercury and Apollo discovered at the site indicate the material and spiritual conditions of the ancient inhabitants of this settlement.
Visitors can reach the site by hiking through Bistriški gorge or driving to Jurišna vas na Pohorju, followed by a short walk to the location.
The site contained blacksmith products, weapons, tools, coins, and ceramics until 1984, when the stone walls became overgrown with forest and subsequently deteriorated.
