Manasija Monastery
You will be impressed by the beautiful scenery, while you enjoy 1.5-hour drive to our first stop – Manasija Monastery, located among the green hills of the vivid Resava gorge. It was built in early 15th century during the reign of Despot Stefan Lazarevic. The whole complex is surrounded by 12 towers, constructed in order to protect Church of Saint Trinity from the Ottomans. The Manasija monastery fortification, with its ramparts and towers, is the best preserved fortification complex on the territory of medieval Serbia. Due to its fresco paintings, which represent one of the greatest achievements of the medieval Serbian art, monastery is believed to be a real jewel of Serbian medieval culture.
Resavska Cave
The tour proceeds to 80-million-year-old cave called Resava, which was discovered by local shepherd in 1962. Ten years later, the cave was opened for the audience for the first time. Nowadays this is one of the most visited caves in this part of Europe due to its richness of cave jewelry: stalagmites and stalactites. Total length of the tunnels is 4.5 km. So far a bit more than 2 km were explored, and 800 m is accessible to visitors. The temperature in the Resava cave is a constant 7°C all year round, with air humidity varying between 80 and 100%. The tour around the cave will last for 40 minutes, so wearing warm clothes is recommended.
