est that has remained untouched for 350 years, here you can also find a wide variety of plant life. Whilst walking here it is also highly likely that you’ll encounter freely roaming and tame game animals that will nonchalantly cross your path. e other direction is towards the Prskalo Waterfall, which is located in the valley of the River Nekudovo. Deep in the forests of the Kučaj mountains, a stream emerges from a 15-metre-high rock and falls down a steep, moss-covered rock face, where it smashes into countless crystal droplets, creating a stunningly beautiful scene. If you’re not exhausted from hiking through the Kučaj mountains, continue your adventure with a tour of the old- est mining settlement in Serbia – Senj Mine. ere you will also see the Museum of Coal Mining, the only museum of its kind in Serbia, with a permanent exhibition. To conclude, Ravanica Monastery After familiarising yourself with the history of mining in this region, but also with Serbia, from its beginnings to the present day, you can continue your journey to Ravani- ca Monastery. Just as your tour of this area began with the tranquillity and harmony of Manasija Monastery, so will it end at Ravanica Monastery. e endowment of Prince Lazar, this monastery was erected between the 1370s and 1380s, and the great prince didn’t regret the resources invested, be- cause he wanted to create a shelter for himself for both the period of his life and after his death. Once you’ve fed your soul with the beauty of this Serbian sanctuary, drawing from it both physical and spiritual inspiration, you can bid fare- well to the Upper Resava region, at least until your next trip.
Svež vazduh, zdrava hrana pripremljena rukama vred- nih domaćica, i topla atmosfera u domaćinstvima dobro su gorivo za nastavak obilaska darova prirode kojima je bogat ovaj kraj. Vinatovača, jedina prašuma u Srbiji Oni sa jakom voljom i ljubavlju prema pravoj neta- knutoj prirodi imaju dve mogućnosti. Prva je udaljena od Lisina oko 15 kilometara makadamskim putem i reč je o prašumi Vinatovači, jedinoj u Srbiji, koja se nalazi dubo- ko unutar Kučajskih planina. Čini je 37 hektara 350 go- dina netaknute bukove šume, a ovde se može naći i ra- znoliko biljno rastinje. Velika je verovatnoća i da tokom šetnje sretnete slobodnu pitomu divljač koja nonšalan- tno može proći pored vas. Drugi pravac je prema vodopadu Prskalo, smeštenom u dolini reke Nekudovo. Duboko u šumama Kučajskih pla- nina sa stene visoke 15 metara javlja se potočić, koji pada niz strmi, mahovinom obrasli nagib i razbija se u bezbroj kristalnih kapljica stvarajući prelep prizor. Ako se niste umorili od šetnje po Kučajskim plani- nama, avanturu nastavite obilaskom najstarijeg rudar- skog naselja u Srbiji – Senjskog rudnika. Tu ćete videti i Muzej ugljarstva, jedini takav muzej sa stalnom postav- kom u našoj zemlji. Za kraj – manastir Ravanica Pošto upoznate rudarstvo ovoga kraja, a i Srbije, od njegovih početaka do danas, put nastavite ka manastiru Ravanica. Kao što je i počela poseta ovom kraju, sa mi- rom i skladom u manastiru Manasija, tako će se i završiti u manastiru Ravanica. On je zadužbina kneza Lazara, koji ga je podigao između sedamdesetih i osamdesetih godina 14. veka i nije žalio sredstava jer je želeo da ima sklonište i za života i posle smrti. Kad se nahranite lepotom ove srpske svetinje, zički i duhovno nadahnuti, možete se oprostiti od Gornje Resave, bar do nekog sledećeg puta.
Prašuma Vinatovača se nalazi duboko unutar Kučajskih planina Vinatovača rainforest is located deep within the Kučaj mountain range
