Соко Град — Attraction in Krupanj Municipality

Fantastic outdoor location, not for those who have fear of height. You can see in other country and everything is breathtaking. There is a water source on top of the location. Check points, on the way up, are marked with God commandments and that is a very nice touch. Last part, if you want to reach the cros on the very top of the hill, you need to climb a steel staircase, not for those with a week hart. Jeep will get you on top of the hill but recommendations are to go for a walk from the monastery up to the top, 45 to 60 min of...

Izvanredno mesto. Danas se lako dolazi do njega jer je put obnovila vojska 2001.god. Manastir Sokograd, posvećen Sv. Nikolaju Velimiroviću, podignut je zahvaljujući trudu Episkopa šabačkog Lavrentija. Izuzetno lepo osmišljen i uređen kompleks oko prelepe manastirske crkve. Podignut je u podnožju srednjevekovnog grada - Soko grada. Soko grad se nalazi na vrhu velikog brda, stene iznad manastira. Danas se tu nalazi izuzetan vidikovac sa velikim krstom. Do njega se može doći samo peške. Udaljen je oko 1,5 km od manastira. Uspon je strm, veoma zahtevan a na kraju vas čeka još 97 kamenih i 71 metalni stepenik. Soko grad je tvrđava koja nikada nije osvojena borbom već mirovnim ugovorima. Imala je strateški značaj, na raskršću puteva. Ispod grada se nalazila jedna od najvećih pijaca robova. Bila je jedna od poslednjih tvrđava koju je napustila Turska vojska - u srpske ruke prelazi tek 1862.god. Tada ga je minirao i digao u vazduh srpski kapetan Petar Radojlović. Na temeljima jedne od kula podignut je metalni, pozlaćeni, krst, visok 13 m i težak 3 tone, posvećen svim srpskim žrtvama uključujući i stradale tokom Nato bombardovanja.Krst Krst je poklon Nemca Hosta Vrobela, velikog poštovaoca pravoslavlja, Srba i ličnog prijatelja...

We stayed for two nights and it was okay. There is not really staff dedicated to handle the rooms, so we had not much contact, and to have food you have to be a bigger group. Rooms were not clean (except beds) and toilet was making very strong and annoying noises at night, however the price is very low so it is no big deal. The environment is very beautiful, and there are nice routes...
