OSTROZUB PLANINA Located to the southeast of Vlasotince, the Zeleničje Nature Reserve is situated on its south-western side, near the village of Bistrica. Here you are awaited by tranquillity and nature that still hasn’t been destroyed by human hand. Young birch trees with trunks as white as snow, vast meadows, coniferous forests, beech trees dotted with yellow leaves... You will also pass through the village named after the mountain, Ostrozub, which belongs to the municipality of Crnotrava and is sparsely inhabited.

Proći ćete i kroz istoimeno selo Ostrozub, koje pripada crnotrav- skoj opštini i u kojem nema mnogo stanovnika. PREPORUKA  RECOMMENDATION

RITAM SRBIJE  RHYTHM OF SERBIA

PRIRODNE LEPOTE, NETAKNUTA MESTA I RETKE BILJNE I životinjske vrste krase jug Sr- bije.

U obilazak juga možete da krenete iz Niša, Pi- rota, Vlasotinca ili Leskovca. Svi ovi gradovi uda- ljeni su više od 200 kilometra od Beograda, sa ko- jim su povezani dobrom putnom infrastrukturom. Tokom ove avanture napravite plan jer ima mnogo toga da se obiđe, a moja preporuka je da obavezno

charm. It is only in the villages of the south that you can see, in the 21 st century, how locals wash their laun- dry in the river or what life looks like in places that have only a few inhabitants, who welcome complete strangers as they would their closest family members. You can start your tour of the south from Niš, Pirot, Vlasotince or Leskovac. All these cities are located more than 200 kilometres from Belgrade, to which they are connected via good road infrastructure. Devise a plan for your adventure, because there’s lots to visit, and I would recommend that you consider it obligatory to head to Ostrozub Mountain, Čemernik, with a visit to Lake Vlasina, Suva planina and the canyon of the river Jerma.
