Užice-Old Town, Ovčarsko-Kablarska Gorge-Monasteries of the Presentation and Transfiguration, Bajina Basta-Rača Monastery, House on the Drina River

Today I will write to you about my country Serbia and its sights.I set out on my way to western Serbia early, with the desire to visit places that I had planned for a long time, but I never got there. The first stop was Uzice. The town welcomed me in a valley, squeezed between hills, with the river Djetinja passing through the very core. I walked through the center, stayed by the river, and then headed towards the Old Town which dominates the city.The climb to the Old Town is not long, but it is enough to stop and look towards Užice. The fortress is located on a rock above Đetinja.I passed through the remains of walls and towers. From the top there is a view of the city, the river and the railway that passes below.

The road then took me to the Ovčar-Kablar Gorge. As I entered the gorge, the landscape changed, the road narrowed, and the West Morava River accompanied me almost the entire time.I stopped at the Vavedenje monastery. The monastery is located separately, surrounded by greenery. I passed through the courtyard, entered the church and stayed for a while,I continued on to the Transfiguration monastery. It is located closer to the river and is more accessible. And I stayed here, visited the church and the monastery circle. The sense of peace that accompanies these places is hard to describe

I had lunch there with my family at a restaurant on the river.

After Ovčar and Kablar, I headed towards Baja's Garden. The town is smaller, but organized and peaceful. I passed through the center and immediately headed for the Rača monastery. The road leads through the forest and follows the course of the river Rača. The monastery is hidden in nature.Arriving at the monastery, I entered the monastery circle. I visited the church and the area around it. Rača Monastery is known as a place that was important in preserving literacy.

The last stop was a house on the Drina. I went down to the river bank. From the shore you can see a house on a rock in the middle of the river. I watched the Drina flow around the rock. I sat down by the river and stayed longer than in previous places. People came and took photos.The house on the rock, a small wooden house that has been defying the mighty Drina for more than half a century, is one of the most photographed attractions in Serbia and an unavoidable motive for all who visit Bajina Bašta. Erected in 1968 on a lonely rock in the middle of the river, it became a trademark of the city and a favorite place to enjoy the view of the green Drina and the slopes of Tara.In July, the cottage becomes the backdrop for the famous Drina Regatta, the largest water festival in Serbia. The day ended and I headed home.
