Kopaonik2

Kopaonik

Be a passenger who looks like fisherman,ready to keep on throwing his net into the sea,all day long,and to come back home,at the end of the day,quite satisfied with his catch.If you throw your fishnet into the foothill of Kopaonik you will not catch goldfish from a fairy tale,but the fairy tale itself.Rubies as red as wine,imperial crowns,icons as blue as the sky,stone castles on the tops of hills,pearl-like streams

Studenica, a peaceful retreat steeped in Orthodox heritage

The Churc of the King&the Church of the Virgin.

Perched high on a hill in the mountains of southwestern Serbia,Studenica monastery is a peaceful retreat,steepend in Serbian Orthodox Cultural and religious heritage.

Studenica is a bit off the beaten trail,even for Serbia,but its garden-covered grounds and rose-hued church domes,strikingly refined in contrast to the dark untouched forest of the surrounding hills,make the journey well worth the trouble.
