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.

Set in a tranquil and lovely rural area up a mountain away from the chaos of the big cities, me and my girlfriend took a drive up from Belgrade to see the Resavska cave. It’s actually pretty easy to find using the sat nav and well sign posted for some reassurance once you get off the motorway. The cave is extremely impressive and well lit with some incredible stalagmite formations. There are several areas or halls on various depths with their own names and stories which the guide explained with great enthusiasm and knowledge. We went just before new year and called in advance to make sure it would be open, we were told there would be no English guides working that day but went anyway. Our guide was such a great guy, patiently waiting while my girlfriend translated from Serbian to English for me and answering all our questions with a clear passion for the cave and love of his work, he even offered to take photos of us at various points and made us feel very welcome and involved with the caves history, which I won’t detail since you should go and experience it and learn for yourself! If you’re in Serbia this should definitely be on your to do list and can be tied in with several other points of interest around the area of Despotovac on your way to and from Belgrade or Nis or wherever your staying.
