The Sokolovac (Hawk’s peak) is a hill not far from the city centre that got its name after the priest friar Luka Ibrišimović Sokol. It was right there where he managed to defeat the Ottoman Turks in and finally liberate Požega. As a sign of admiration for the great victory, Croatian and Austrian emperor Leopold I., named him “Sokol” (the Hawk). To get to the top of the hill you can take the not too steep hiking path from the main square across the Kalvarija (The Way of the Cross) and the St. Anne’s chapel. On the top of the hill you will see a large cross erected in 1999 in the place of an older one build by the Franciscans in the 19^th century. From the Sokolovac peak you can enjoy a beautiful view of the whole Požega valley all the way to the Krndija hill in the east and the Papuk Mountain Nature Park in the north and west.
