Your tour begins with a pick up from your accommodation in Belgrade at 8:30 am, where you'll be comfortably transported in a minivan. Sit back and relax during the scenic 2-hour drive, as your expert guide shares fascinating tales about Serbia's medieval past. As you wind through the rolling hills of Šumadija, you'll soon find yourself in the lush, picturesque Resava River gorge, where the majestic Manasija Monastery awaits.

Step into the past as you explore this extraordinary site, once a formidable military stronghold built to protect the Church of the Holy Trinity from Ottoman invaders. Constructed in the early 15th century by Despot Stefan Lazarević, the monastery endured invasions by the Turks in the 15th century and the Austrians in the 18th century, only to be lovingly restored twice in the 19th century. Marvel at the stunning floor mosaics, vibrant frescoes, and architectural wonders that make Manasija a rare gem in Serbian medieval architecture and art.

Next, venture into the newly discovered Resava Cave, a natural marvel and one of the most captivating caves in Serbia. With its breathtaking beauty, it's protected by state law and promises to leave you in awe. As you explore its mesmerising chambers adorned with intricate stalactites and stalagmites, you'll uncover a hidden world shaped over millions of years. The maze of Resava Cave, spanning an impressive 11-hectare area, offers an unforgettable experience. Its natural “jewellery,” dating back 45 million years, adds to its mystique, while its galleries maintain a constant temperature of 7°C with humidity levels ranging from 80% to 100%. This otherworldly atmosphere makes it an unmissable destination for adventurers and nature lovers alike.

Finally, immerse yourself in the tranquility of nature at the stunning Lisine Waterfall, one of Serbia’s most beautiful natural attractions. Nestled in a lush, green mountain setting within the Beljanica Mountain range, this breathtaking waterfall is part of the Veliko Vrelo River, a powerful karst spring that contributes to its flow. The crystal-clear waters plunge over 20 metres (65 feet) down a limestone cliff, creating a mesmerising cascade and a cool, refreshing mist. Guests will have the chance to explore the area and enjoy a meal or coffee at a local restaurant, where they can savour traditional fish dishes.

After a day of exploring Serbia’s natural wonders, we make our way back to Belgrade, filled with unforgettable memories and the beauty of Resava Cave and Lisine Waterfall still fresh in our minds.
