Žlijebi: Selo poniklo u kamenu
Zamislite selo gde je kamen apsolutni gospodar, gde su svaki put i međa, sva- ka kuća – od temelja do krova – napravljeni baš od kamena, i to bez vezivnog materi- jala, a koje okružuju sa jedne strane gole- ma, krševita planina, a sa druge umirujuće plavetnilo Jadrana. Mesto gde se meša- ju mirisi planinskog cveća, zelenih boro- va i slanog mora. Mesto koje više od jed- nog veka ne menja svoj izgled. Verovatno nigde u svetu, osim ovde, u zaleđu Herceg Novog, ne postoji selo kavo je Žlijebi, poni- klo u kamenu i od kamena. Na 700 metara nadmorske visine ovde danas žive svega dva ili tri čoveka, ali je istorija opipljiva – svaka kuća je i danas tačno onakva kakva je bila i na dan svog postanka – naprav- ljena od ravnih i uglačanih kamenih plo- ča, ručno vađenih u seoskim majdanima. I danas se ovde kamen vadi na isti način kao i pre tri veka – rukama i veštinom. Do Žlijeba se može doći kolima, ali i atraktiv- nom planinarskom stazom kojom vam tre- ba oko dva sata. U samom mestu je i Cr- kva Svetog Nikole, koja datira iz 16. veka i koja je smeštena na mesto gde se krije je- dan od najlepših vidikovaca na Bokokotor- ski zaliv (mada je takvih mnogo).
ŽLIJEBI: VILLAGE THAT SPROUTED FROM STONE Imagine a village where stone reigns absolutely, where every street and boundary, every house – from foundation to roof – is made of stone alone, even without binding materials, and which is surrounded by an enormous, rocky mountain on one side and the relaxing blueness of the Adriatic on the other. A place where the scents of mountain flowers, green pines and the salty sea intermingle. A place that hasn't changed its appearance for more than a century. There probably isn't a village like Žlijebi – sprouted from stone and of stone – anywhere in the world, other than here in the backwoods of Herceg Novi. Situated at 700 metres above sea level, it is today only home to two or three people, but the history is tangible – every house remains exactly as it was on the day it was created – constructed of flat, polished stone slabs, quarried by hand from the village quarries. Stone is still extracted here today in the same way as it was three centuries ago – skilfully and by hand. Žlijebi can be reached by car, but also via an attractive hiking trail that takes you about two hours to traverse. In the village itself is the church of St. Nicholas, dating back to the 16 th century, which is located in a spot that hides one of the most beautiful vantage points providing views of the Bay of Kotor (although there are many such spots).
