Highlights
- Belgrade - The tour begins at 8 a.m. from your accommodation in Belgrade.
- Manasija Monastery - Enjoy a scenic 1.5-hour drive to our first stop, Manasija Monastery, nestled among the green hills of the vibrant Resava gorge. Built in the early 15th century during the reign of Despot Stefan Lazarevic, the complex is encircled by 12 towers designed to protect the Church of Saint Trinity from the Ottomans. The Manasija monastery fortification, with its walls and towers, is the best-preserved fortification complex in medieval Serbia. The monastery’s frescoes are considered one of the greatest achievements of medieval Serbian art, making it a true gem of Serbian medieval culture.
- Resavska Cave - The tour continues to the 80-million-year-old Resava Cave, discovered by a local shepherd in 1962 and opened to the public ten years later. Today, it is one of the most visited caves in this part of Europe, known for its rich cave formations like stalagmites and stalactites. The tunnels stretch for 4.5 km, with over 2 km explored and 800 m accessible to visitors. The cave maintains a constant temperature of 7°C year-round, with air humidity between 80 and 100%. The cave tour lasts 40 minutes, so warm clothing is recommended.
- Vodopad Veliki Buk - Next, we head to Lisine waterfall, one of Eastern Serbia’s top attractions. Here, in this stunning location, we will take a lunch break, offering you the chance to try the best trout fish in Serbia.
- Krupajsko Vrelo - Our journey continues to Krupaj Spring, located 30 km from Lisine Waterfall on the west side of Beljanica Mountain. This karst spring is one of the most beautiful in Eastern Europe, with its turquoise waters sure to leave you breathless.
- Belgrade - We then drive back to Belgrade (2 hours) and drop you off at your accommodation.

The best trip to eastern Serbia. - After my first trip to western Serbia, I thought that nothing could impress me! I was wrong!!! It was wonderful, despite the snow and rain, we saw amazing places in Eastern Serbia: the Resavka monastery, a huge cave carved by time, ate the most delicious fresh trout and saw water of heavenly purity and color. All in the best, most professional support of our guide Elena and our super driver Ranko. We are going on our third trip with our favorite travel agency!

Good, would recommend :) - The tour was really good, a place I could not have visited without a car or knowledge about the places. The places were not so crowded, but probably because it's still off season.
Jelena the tour guide was doing a really good job explaining details alongside the tour.
But :It is still countryside, don't expect to exiting things.

You won't be disappointed!! - Great day out to the Serbian countryside with this fantastic tour! We all learned so much about the sites we visited as well as Serbian culture from our helpful and always smiling guide Jelena. Ranko was a safe and skilled driver who helped us all in and out of the van. The lunch stop was delicious and very reasonably priced. This tour is definitely worth it!
