Description

Your journey commences as we collect you from your hotel at the scheduled time, followed by a pleasant drive through the picturesque green hills. Approaching our first highlight, we will catch sight of the majestic Resava Gorge, home to the medieval Manasija monastery complex.

Upon arrival, the striking towers of the monastery, constructed in the 15th century, will capture your attention. The experience will begin with insights into the hidden treasures within its walls, as we delve into the history surrounding its various phases of construction and restoration. Though the site has faced destruction and rebuilding throughout the centuries, visitors can still admire the intact floor mosaics, frescoes, and original architectural elements—an extraordinary chance to appreciate both Serbian medieval architecture and its ancient art.

Following our time at the monastery, we will proceed to the Resava Cave, an expansive karst cave system that spans over 11 hectares. During our exploration of the cave, we will witness numerous natural chambers carved into the rock, showcasing a diverse array of stalactites and stalagmites.

Once we emerge from the cave, our adventure continues towards the Lisine Waterfalls, a breathtaking feature reaching heights of over 25 meters. Here, you will have two hours to unwind and enjoy the surroundings, with various food stalls available to sample local dishes for lunch.

As the day wraps up, we will return to Belgrade, with a scheduled drop-off at your hotel around 4:30 pm.
