All three sights are very important and beautiful and are located near the town of Despotovac, in Serbia.
Manasija Monastery – This monastery belongs to the so-called “Moravian school”. It originated in
the 15th century, it was also the endowment of the despot Stefan Lazarevic. The entire monastery complex is surrounded by high walls, which served for defense. The whole consisted of 11 towers, the most important of which is known as the Despot’s Tower. Within the walls is the Church of the Holy Trinity. The Manasija Monastery was demolished and devastated, but also rebuilt several times. Today, Manasija is a nunnery.
If you have the opportunity, be sure to visit this monastery because it is truly a building of great importance for serbian people, a building that exudes history, culture and extraordinary beauty!
Reasava cave – You visit the this cave in an organized guided tour, and the tours start every full hour and last about 45 minutes. Admission is free for children up to 7 years of age, and adults pay 300 rsd for the ticket. The temperature inside the cave is always 7 degrees, at any time of the year, so be sure to bring a jacket! I also recommend comfortable shoes, closed and non-slip (the floor of the cave is extremely wet and slippery in itself!).
A total of 800 m has been arranged for a tour of the cave, and during the entire tour, the guide will draw your attention to important details. You can take photos, but without the flash of course. Decorations inside the cave are exceptional beauties, and the stories of the guides are very interesting. I definitely recommend you to visit this landmark if you find yourself in the vicinity, you will not regret it, believe me!
The surroundings of the cave are very nicely landscaped, and nature will leave you breathless!
Lisine waterfall|Veliki Buk waterfall – After visiting the Resava cave, we continued towards the Lisina waterfall, or, as some still call it, the Veliki Buk waterfall. The waterfall is about 13 km away from the Resava cave. Beautiful nature and an even more beautiful waterfall. It really is a little paradise on earth.
The waterfall is located on the river Vrelo, at about 380 m above sea level. This waterfall has long been considered the highest waterfall in Serbia, with a height of 25 m, until the waterfalls on Stara Planina were discovered.
In the vicinity of this waterfall there are a large number of restaurants where you can relax, dine and enjoy nature. We chose a restaurant that is located right next to the waterfalls and it is an extremely pleasant feeling, because the heat is great during the summer days, and lunch by the waterfall itself is really refreshing! The nature of this area is truly amazing, the scenes are unreal, and enjoyment is guaranteed!
As you have seen, the nature of Serbia really leaves without a text anyone who decides to explore it and pay a little attention to it. Also, in addition to these three proposals, there is Jagodina with it’s water park, Ravanica Monastery, as well as many other beauties and attractions that this part of Serbia offers! Enjoy and write me your impressions! 📩
