Votre visite commence à votre hébergement et nous nous dirigeons vers le district de Pomoravlje, connu comme le centre du dernier royaume médiéval serbe, où les monastères conservent encore l'énorme héritage et la richesse culturelle et historique.

Our first stop is Manasija Monastery, a stunning monument of Serbian medieval culture, built by Despot Stefan Lazarevic, son of Prince Lazar. Set in the peaceful hills of central Serbia, this 15th-century fortress-like monastery is a masterpiece of Serbian architecture and a symbol of cultural and spiritual heritage. Completed between 1406 and 1418, it features massive walls, 11 towers, and a trench. The most imposing is Despotova Kula, or Despot’s Tower. The Church of the Holy Trinity is a prime example of Morava style. Its frescoes are among the finest in Serbian art, especially the warriors in the choir, the prophets in the dome, and the idealized image of Despot Stefan offering a church model to the Holy Trinity. The site also preserves parts of the refectory and library. The scriptorium inside the library produced many manuscripts, and the ‘Resava orthography’ developed here influenced later scribes.

Next, we are set for an extraordinary experience. We will visit the Resava cave, one of the oldest in Serbia, which is approximately 80 million years old, with some of its formations dating back around 45 million years. Discover its spectacular formations of stalactites and stalagmites, formed over thousands of years, as you stroll through its fascinating chambers. The cave’s otherworldly beauty and intricate rock formations will leave you in awe, making it an unforgettable experience for both nature lovers and adventure seekers. The cave interior is filled with numerous and varied halls, channels, galleries, columns, stalactites, stalagmites, draperies, and flowstone waterfalls. The system consists of three levels connected by artificial tunnels. You’ll hear exciting stories about the cave’s past and present, and you’ll see cave formations that take on some very unusual shapes.

Our next stop is Veliki Buk (also known as Lisine), a beautiful waterfall approximately 20-25 meters high, making it one of Serbia’s highest waterfalls. The surroundings are scenic and perfect for relaxation. This karstic waterfall is protected as a natural monument, and it’s most impressive during the autumn. There’s less water in the summertime, but it’s still lovely to visit, and very refreshing. Here, you will have the opportunity to enjoy a traditional Serbian lunch in a unique setting (not included in the price).

Votre visite se termine par un retour à votre hôtel/hébergement à Belgrade, où nous arriverons dans l'après-midi. Fin des services.
