The nature here is awesome! It reminds me a lot to hidden villages at Zlatibor mountain, only a little less wild/sharp. The restaurant is on a great spot, parking available, beautiful site, mini-lake, forest and rocks at reach of a hand. Staff is good, considering the crowd quite efficient, and they are ready to advise you on a food choice or direction to next destination.
Main reason for such a bad rate is the food! Except from the beautiful, domestic cheese, and plum brandy, EVERYTHING else was either industrial products, or poorly prepared.
Famous trout was probably panned (never the less I asked twice if they use carcoal grill). I came out with no crispy skin, kind-of boiled and a bit tasteless. I can't know for sure, but the most likely it was deep-frozen, and panned.
Kebab (cevap) gummy and tasteless. 100% supermarket meat. Same with sausages...
Tomato was great! Matured, soft, juicy, full-taste. I would swear it came from a home garden...
Again, poor rate came from my true disappointment with what had to be the best item from the menu: grilled trout. The same fish they breed just a few steps from the restaurant, within clean, mountain water - and do just about everything they can to ruin it in all the following steps on its way...

This karst spring emerges from a cave, forming a stunning turquoise-blue pool about 40 meters long. Surrounded by dense forest and lush greenery, the site offers a peaceful and magical setting perfect for relaxation and photography. The water stays cool year-round, between 9–11°C. A nearby restaurant, built into an old watermill, serves traditional Serbian food. Protected as a natural monument, Krupaj Spring is ideal for nature lovers seeking tranquility in an unspoiled,...
Read moreNot sure what to make of this place.
On the one hand, it does look pretty, the water has a beautiful shade of blue, like I haven't seen anywhere else. On the other, the actual location is tiny (you will literally spend ten minutes here), and is used as a fishery by the restaurant built right next to it, something you don't see in photos.
That combined with the fact that the Vrelo is in a remote part of the country, not really close to other interesting places means you should only visit if you're already passing by. Coming here explicitly to see this and only this might leave you feeling...
