You can only experience this in one place ...
1 Belo Brdo Archaeological Site, Vinča
about 15km from Belgrade in the village of the same name on the right bank of the Danube.
o The locality has the appearance of a low hill and consists of nine layers with debris from different periods.
The first remains of the settlement were found quite by accident at the beginning of the 20th century. About 4% of the area of the settlement has been explored so far, but so far, excavations have uncovered various objects including: tools and weapons made of stone, horn and bone, utensils, vases, jewelry, statues ...
The significance of the site is that the remains of a Neolithic settlement dating from about 5,500 to 5,000 BC were found here.
The inhabitants lived in semi-buried huts, tent-like and made pottery, stone tools and weapons…
In the younger Neolithic (4,500-3,500 BC), Vinca became a major economic, religious and cultural center that influenced the culture of all agricultural communities in Central and Southeastern Europe. After the discovery of copper, Vinca lost its significance.
This archeological site threatens landslide and wastewater problems, has no feasibility study for site protection, nor a detailed regulation plan.
Yet here you can see the remains of a Neolithic civilization that had a housing culture more developed than the medieval one. Forbidden reopened for visitors.
2 Ancient Palace of Felix Romuliana
In the era of digitization, the former residence of Roman emperor Gaius Valerius Maximilian Gallery (293-311 BC) still arouses the curiosity of domestic and foreign tourists.
The magnificent palace of the Roman emperor Gaius Maximillian who distinguished himself as a capable soldier who did not miss the Roman emperor Diocletian (244-313 AD), who proclaimed him Caesar and married his daughter Valeria. Gaius became head of the Roman Empire in 306 until his attempt to retire to a peaceful old age, but his death stopped him on Route 311 near Sofia on his way back to coastal Dacia. After the invasion of the Slavs at the end of the sixth century, the residence was abandoned.
The dilemmas concerning the name and the purpose for which it was used were resolved by the discovery of an inscription written by Felix Romuliana on 23 June 1984, after 150 years of searching for the true truth. In the vicinity of Romiliana in the Magvra site, the Galleries and his mother Romula were buried, after which Romuliana was named. On the Magra, two tombs of humke - tumuli with fragments can be seen on which the emperor and his mother were burned. The afterlife was then believed, so the dead were buried with personal property and burned.
Today, visitors can see the remains of a former palace with mosaics of extraordinary beauty, a statue of the emperor Maximilian Gallery, a temple dedicated to the deities of Jupiter and Hercules, a public bathroom.
3 Uvac Nature Reserve
In the southwest of Serbia, it extends over the territory of the municipalities of Sjenica and Nova Varoš, and has been protected since 1971. Wondering why?
Because of its incredible beauty and great natural wealth. One of the first things everyone thinks of when talking about Uvc is the beautiful meanders of the river of the same name, which extends from the hydro power plant Kokin Brod to the village of Krstac on the way to Sjenica.
The meanders that can be seen from numerous vantage points from the surrounding villages are beautified with the only natural habitat for griffon vultures in Serbia (along the canyon of the Tresnjica River). It is said that the first encounter with amazing birds, whose wingspan can reach up to three meters, is truly unique if you are lucky, as some of the many tourists coming to this area, you can also see the unique dancing of griffon vultures when mating (flying to of incredible heights, they catch their claws and then perform a free fall) In a word - amazing.
In addition to the small caves hiding these beautiful birds, the Uvac Reserve hides several large caves in its gorges, the largest of which is the still under-explored Ice Cave (2.5 km long), which attracts you with its beautiful halls and clear lake. If it's not enough for you to just watch meanders, you can cruise them with boats, and you can also catch some fish if you are a fan of fishing since Uvac is very rich in trout, carp, chub…
4 Waterfall Sprayer
In southern Kuching, she created the most imaginative game of water and limestone. It is located next to the road that leads from Resavica to Čestobrodica (east of Paracin).
What is the disadvantage of this very strange and unique waterfall is the forest path, which is practically impassable in the springtime, due to the fauna, which is very active and paradise beautiful. In summer, when the beech forests of southern Kuchaj branch out and blossom, the water down the rampart only drips shyly, giving you the feeling of being in a dream. It is about 15 meters high, very poor in water even in spring when there is water, though it never dries. Sprinkle Waterfall, as if a man made his own hand (though very much like the fairy-tale Tolkien plateau of Gondor Castle in the Book of the Lord of the Rings) and left it in a place close to the road for all to see, yet far enough away that few pass.
The sight where the eyes are resting and the view towards the top quickly ends in a small well that Sprays with little noise for many years has been rehearsing with the help of the Nekudovo River, whose source is only about 70 meters above the waterfall. It is interesting that the Nekudovo River here rises but disappears, more precisely it sinks halfway to Resavica, where it shortens and reaches this waterfall.
5 Semetez Lake
There is one interesting natural phenomenon in Kopaonik.
This is the lake the islands sail through. The lake is about 60m in diameter and the largest island is 15m long and overgrown with vegetation, and there are even a few tall trees on it. In addition to this island, there are several smaller ones, and several have been destroyed by bathers.
The floating islands are a real attraction for all tourists who visit this lake, because the islands move when the wind blows, and also the visitors can "ride" them.
Semetez Lake is also specific because its depth cannot be measured, because the underwater springs from which the lake receives water are so deep and wide that they themselves are part of it.
Gazebo's are the ancient owners of Lake Semetez, and the lake was recently stocked.
6 Vlasina Lake
It is located in the southeast of Serbia, on the territory of the municipality of Surdulica.
Its surface is 16 km2 and its depth is up to 35 m. The lake is surrounded by the Gramada, Vardenik and Cemernik mountains. It is located at 1,213 m above sea level. There are two cubic meters of first quality water in the lake every minute. Vlasina, Vrla, Jerma, Santa Claus River and Ljubotenska River with their tributaries make up the basin of the lake.
The so-called floating islands, which arise when raising the water level of the lake, are a specific feature of Vlasina Lake. Peat islands are the product of centuries-old decay of peat moss. The floating islands, with their dense vegetation, sail across a 16km2 large lake and are a real attraction. By the uniqueness of the world they are a real bait for tourists.
The natural beauties and rarities of this area are: mountains, gorges, waterfalls, springs, rivers, flora and fauna, as well as the favorable influence of climate and quiet mountain nature. More than 300 medicinal plants have been registered around the lake.
What is characteristic of the flora is, of course, a very rare carnivorous plant called rosemary.
Vlasina Lake is rich in bitters, chickens, catfish, carp, white amur and trout. The climate is sub-mountainous, with short, dry, fresh summers and cold winters. Due to all these features of the area, research is being conducted by the Institute for Nature Conservation to protect the area as a nature park.
7 White Church Lakes
A tourist place with great potential and too little public attention.
It is located near the border with Romania and encompasses the whole of dozens of lakes, seven of which stand out. Vračevgajsko and Šljunkara are the most famous, and the largest beach is the city beach. Along the lake there is a weekend caravan site, as well as several smaller hotels and villas suitable for holidays.
The White Church pearl may not be a place suitable for parties and parties, but it is highly recommended for family vacations and stress relief. Whoever goes to this year's Exit can turn a little southeast and get some impressions in peace.
8 Monument of nature Devil's Town
It is located below Radan Mountain, 27 km southeast of Kursumlija.
At an altitude of 600 meters, this unusual and rare sight is about 200 relief figures, created by multifaceted erosional processes and which, on the left and right sides of the cliff, form two 'mahalas' - the Devil's Trench and the Hell's Trench. Also important for this place is the Red Spring, a source of mineral water that is not for drinking, but the locals claim that it is medicinal and that it should be flushed with diseased places.
What has always followed this place are the many legends, the most famous of which is that these figures are petrified by weddings, who set out to marry brother and sister, and which God petrified to prevent sin. Due to its extraordinary appearance and legends, which give an extra dose of mystique to this place, Devil's Town attracts tourists all over the world every day, and has been nominated for a World Wonder of Nature.
9 Studenica Monastery
It is considered one of the most beautiful Serbian monasteries because of the sophisticated architecture of the Byzantine-Rasa school, but also because of the beautiful ambience in which it is housed. It has been on the UNESCO list since 1986.
The well was erected by Stefan Nemanja in the 12th century, whose relics are still in this monastery today. Studenica also houses the relics of Stefan the Firstborn.
There used to be 14 churches in the monastery complex, and to date, only three have been preserved: Our Lady's Church, King's Church, and St. Nicholas.
The well was one of the richest monasteries, but wars and devastation throughout its history have made it their own. However, today some of the preserved valuable objects can be seen in the Studenica Treasury. At 8km from the monastery, there is a carved cliff in the shepherds of Sv. Sava in which he wrote Studenic Tipik and Žitije sv. Simeon Nemanja.
10 Oplenac
It is located 80 km from Belgrade, near Topola.
A place that exudes the beauty of deciduous coniferous forests and the history of one of the most important Serbian dynasties, Karadjordjevic.
A dynasty mausoleum was built on this site, started by King Peter I Karadjordjevic and then the entire historical and memorial complex, which later became their endowment.
Today the church of Sv. St. George's, Mausoleum of the Serbian royal family, the King's Vineyards, the Museum (Vineyarder's House), King Peter's House, the King's Villa, the Queen's Villa, the Karadjordje Church, the Karadjordje Monument and the hotel.
11 Krupayan spring
If you love nature, water, peaceful place and good food Krupajsko springs is the right choice for you. It is located between the villages of Milanovac and Krupaj, at the foot of Beljanica. Homolje is known as an ecological oasis, and after this visit I have to confirm that it is.
The source creates a karst lake on the surface. The blue color on the surface makes the place unreal. There is no word that can describe the idyll of the Krupaj spring - it just has to be seen. There is also a spring of healing water that complements this beautiful place. The heat is surrounded by forest, and the paths leading to it indicate that it can also be reached through the forest.
12 Paradise pimneys
Eastern Serbia / Negotin Krajina
Winemaking history is a valuable part of Serbia's cultural heritage. Its material evidence - Rajački breweries (pimnice) is unique in both Serbia and the surrounding area.
Pimnice is a living witness to the lifestyle and customs of traditional Serb wine-growing communities in Eastern Serbia through the centuries. The village of Rajac is specific in that it has a special part of the village where authentic wine cellars are located - pimnice.
The pimnice was built in the 18th century from wood and stone and today the locals use it to dispose of wine. During the visit you can taste wine and in some even sleep, surrounded by items from the 18th and 19th centuries.
