After pickup in Belgrade, you’ll enjoy a scenic ride east with your guide-driver to Ravanica Monastery, a peaceful medieval complex surrounded by forested hills. Founded in the 14th century by Prince Lazar, Ravanica is still an active monastery and a place where history, spirituality, and everyday monastic life naturally blend. Walking through the grounds, you’ll experience the calm atmosphere that has drawn pilgrims and visitors for centuries, while your guide provides just enough context to understand why this site holds a special place in Serbian culture — without overwhelming you with dates or details.

Your second stop is the breathtaking Resava Cave, the most famous in Serbia. Discovered in the 1960s, this natural marvel is estimated to be 80 million years old. Visitors can explore 800 meters of illuminated pathways, passing through four impressive halls filled with stalactites, stalagmites, and dazzling cave formations— Serbia’s pure underground wonder.

After exploring Resava Cave, the journey continues to the enchanting Veliki Buk Waterfall. Though not the largest, it captivates with its crystal-clear water and untouched natural surroundings. Adding to the charm, nearby restaurants serve fresh trout and traditional local dishes, making this stop a perfect blend of nature and authentic Serbian flavors

The highlight of the day is Manasija Monastery, an impressive fortified complex that immediately stands out with its massive stone walls and towers. More than a monastery, it feels like a medieval stronghold, offering a powerful and atmospheric experience as you step inside its walls. As you explore the grounds, you’ll learn why its founder, Despot Stefan Lazarević, held the title of Despot and is still regarded as one of Serbia’s most respected medieval rulers — a story that adds depth and meaning to this powerful, atmospheric site.

Eine weitere interessante Sehenswürdigkeit liegt auf unserem Weg von Despotovac.
