The nationals parks of Serbia are great natural museums in the open
air.
Tara, with its impassable
forests and flower strewn meadows, waterfalls and streams which disappear
in caves. Imagine the memory of the Pancic spruce, endemic to this region
of the world only, growing here from the Tertiary! Fruska Gora, the verdant island of the Panonian
Sea and Serb Mount Athos, devoted to the guarding of dozens of monasteries
and 700 species of medical herbs.
Sara,
a spacious farm in the open air, with its pastures, traces of the Ice Age
at its peaks, mountain lakes, alpine flowers... Djerdap, the Iron Gates squeezing the mighty Danube
through the largest European canyon.
the mountain of contrasts and of all seasons, with monasteries on its
slopes,
ice-cold water springs at its foot and the sun at its peaks.
Time, water and limestone took their time
in sculpturing the underground halls in Serbia:
Rajko
Cave, Ceremosnja,
Marble
Cave, Resavska Cave, near Despotovac, some
three kilometers in length, is luxuriously adorned with coral-like stone
jewels and snow white crystals.
In the
surroundings of Kursumlija, nature, like a skillful Oriental builder,
sculptured
a city of stone. Hundreds of figures appear and disappear of themselves,
rising and changing their shapes. Not knowing how to explain this natural
phenomenon, the people named the place the Devil's Town (Djavolja
Varos).
