Itinerary
Your tour begins with a pick-up from your accommodation in Belgrade at 8:30 am, where you'll be comfortably transported in a minivan as your expert guide shares fascinating tales about Serbia's medieval past. As you wind through the rolling hills of Šumadija, you'll soon find yourself in the lush, picturesque Resava River gorge, where the majestic Manasija Monastery awaits.
Step into the past as you explore this extraordinary site, once a formidable military stronghold built to protect the Church of the Holy Trinity from Ottoman invaders. Constructed in the early 15th century by Despot Stefan Lazarević, the monastery endured invasions by the Turks in the 15th century and the Austrians in the 18th century, only to be lovingly restored twice in the 19th century. Marvel at the stunning floor mosaics, vibrant frescoes, and architectural wonders that make Manasija a rare gem in Serbian medieval architecture and art.
Venture into the newly discovered Resava Cave, a natural marvel and one of the most captivating caves in Serbia. With its breathtaking beauty, it's protected by state law and promises to leave you in awe. As you explore its mesmerizing chambers adorned with intricate stalactites and stalagmites, you'll uncover a hidden world shaped over millions of years. The maze of Resava Cave, spanning an impressive 11-hectare area, offers an unforgettable experience. Its natural "jewelry," dating back 45 million years, adds to its mystique, while its galleries maintain a constant temperature of 7°C with humidity levels ranging from 80% to 100%. This otherworldly atmosphere makes it an unmissable destination for adventurers and nature lovers alike.
Immerse yourself in the tranquility of nature at the stunning Lisine Waterfall, one of Serbia’s most beautiful natural attractions. Nestled in a lush, green mountain setting within the Beljanica Mountain range, this breathtaking waterfall is part of the Veliko Vrelo River. This powerful karst spring contributes to its flow. The crystal-clear waters plunge over 20 meters (65 feet) down a limestone cliff, creating a mesmerizing cascade and a cool, refreshing mist.
You’ll have the chance to enjoy lunch at a charming local restaurant, offering a tranquil retreat near Lisine Waterfall. Savor traditional fish dishes while soaking in the beautiful surroundings and relaxing ambiance.
