Il programma nel dettaglio

Discover the gemstones of Mother Nature and medieval culture in the flourishing Resava valley. First stop will make you learn some new things about Medieval Serbian State. You will gain first goal on your way to beautiful nature in between the green hills of the vivid Resava River gorge where the medieval Manasija Monastery is located. This complex with a magic atmosphere was built as a real military fortification with towers and walls in order to protect Church of Saint Trinity from Ottomans. It was built during the rule of Despot Stefan Lazarević in early 15th century. Turks conquered the Monastery in the 15th century, then Austrians in the 18th, so in the 19th century the Monastery was restored twice. Floor mosaics and wall frescoes along with architectural objects of Manasija represent a real rarity for Serbian medieval architecture and old Serbian painting. There are preserved ruins of the refectory and library that hosted Resava Scriptorium.



The tour proceeds to the Resava Cave that was not discovered long ago so it keeps the title of one of the most interesting caves in Serbia. Resava cave and 11 hectare area around it is the natural monument protected by the State. Its corridors that are 4,5 kilometers long, cave decorations counting 45 million years, constant temperature of 7°C, humidity between 80% and 100%, are the reason why Resava Cave is listed among the most beautiful caves in the region featuring an unforgettable experience for all the visitors even though just part of it is adjusted for visit.
