Uvac Special Nature Reserve is a natural place located near Novi Pazar, in Western Serbia. Really, it is a wonderful place, and there are two lookouts, from where you can see great views of the Uvac River and their meanders: a fantastic place. Also, it is possible to walk around the lookouts and see different views of the river. We came here in October-2019, when the river does not have too much water, so it was not the most beautiful views of the river, but there were wonderful! In spring or summer should be marvelous!

Manasija Monastery is one if the most important orthodox monasteries located in the center of Serbia. In fact, it is located in the middle of the land and it is the typical walled monastery constructed in Serbia. The monastery is small and surrounded it, there are some important buildings for the religious community. In the Middle Ages, it was necessary to defend the building from Ottoman Army, so it is walled. Wonderful place and a very good experience to begin the trip in October-2019.
5. National Park Tara

We saw the park when we were traveling from Belgrade toward the Sargan Eight Railway and other stops on a Viator tour. The Drina River Canyon within the Tara National Park is on the tentative list for a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The park is sometimes called the “lungs of Serbia.” It’s located in the western edge of Serbia along the border of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Drina river runs through the park created some very large gorges. However, more than 80% of the park is heavily forested with plenty of hiking trails.

7. Zaovine Lake

The lake is located at about 800 meters above sea level. It is widest at the dam and from there it spreads in three directions. It is connected by pipes to Lake Perucac and functions as a reserve of water for the Perucac hydroelectric power plant. When is to much water in Lake Perućac, it is pumped to Lake Zaovine, and when there is not enough water for turbines, it returns. Therefore, the height of the water can vary up to 40 meters, and when is filled with very cold water from Lake Perućac the temperature of the lake drops dramatically. Therefore, it is an ideal place for refreshment in times of high summer temperatures. There are two other small lakes suitable for swimming in the area, Spajici and Lipovica. On the high rock near Lake Spajici are the ruins of a medieval fortress, and a little further on begins the beautiful canyon of Beli Rzav. At the dam of the lake is a place where a Serbian scientist, Josif Pancic, discovered an endemic tree species named after him as Pancic omorica. There are three beautiful waterfalls on the Karaklijski Rzav River that flows into the lake. There are several viewpoints in the surroundings, the most beautiful of them is the Janjac, from which one you can see the lake on one side and the town of Visegrad on the other. Zaovine Lake is a great starting point for visiting all these attractions. I hope these comment will help you. If you need any help regarding this or any other attractions in Serbia (location information, transportation, guidance, organizing private tours, etc.) feel free to contact me because I do tours all over Serbia. Enjoy Serbia!

One of the best view! It is worth a visit. If you don't like to climb you drive all the way to the parking and then climb a bit. The climb is short and mild. The drive there is ok. Dirt road but fairly good. Once you reach the main view point, climb a bit further. It is worth it!

An open-air museum "Staro selo" (the Old Village) in Sirogojno portrays the traditional village architecture of the Zlatibor region. All facilities and household objects are authentic. In the museum workshops copies of museum exhibits are manufactured and also, the skill of potters, carpenters and other artisans is manifested.

Sirogojno, on Mount Zlatibor, Serbia is a quaint open-air museum, like an ethno village. We visited in December so it was covered in snow. There is a little restaurant serving pies and strong hot coffee. Worth a visit. You can also find food preserves and there are a few stalls selling a range of sheep wool garments.
