FROM PRIJEPOLJE TOWN TO SPACE

Few places can boast of sending part of their history and culture into space. Prijepolje can. A picture of the White Angel, the famous fresco from the Mileševa Monastery, went into the cosmos as a message of human friendship and achievement.

The White Angel was created long before that. The most famous fresco in Serbia was painted in a monastery from the 13th century not far from Prijepolje. Mileševa is considered one of the most important centers of Serbian spirituality and is justifiably an indispensable stop for tourists in this region.

A favorite destination for nature lovers are the breathtaking Sopotnica Waterfalls. They are guarded by the Jadovnik mountain characterized by untouched nature, old water mills, excellent food. Sopotnica is an ideal base for exploring this region, and when the road takes you to the southwest of Serbia, you must not bypass Kamena Gora village.

The oldest pine tree in Serbia will welcome you in this authentic mountain village. The prominent tree that has become a symbol of greatness, courage and endurance, just like the locals, is about 500 years old. Kamena Gora is a real paradise for mountaineers, long walks and enjoying the untouched rural environment.

If you like the city, you can easily reach Prijepolje. After a coffee break or tasting one of the local specialties, the Museum, which preserves an archaeological, historical, artistic and ethnographic collection is waiting for you.

These are just some of the reasons to dedicate to exploring a hidden corner of our country. Experience Prijepolje this winter!
