Vracanje u prirodu… nesto savrseno.
Put do samog vrha je na nekim mestina losiji, ali je priroda neprocenjiva.
Do samog vrha stare planine dolazi se iz mesta Kalne.
Zimi ima vise desavanja usput, znog skijalista koje je na vrhu pa samim tim i mestani usput rade kao i lokalne kafane i restorani. Dok u prolece, leto i jesen je slabije turista pa samim tim i slabije rade restorani. Zato ako dolazite u tom periodu, obezbedite se jer na samom vrhu nema prodavnice.
Preporuka za obilazak, sama planina je bogata florom i faunom. Svaki minut dal po vedrom ili kisovitom vremenu, vredan je.
Na samoj planini u toku dana je moguce doziveti sva godisnja doba. Mi smo od jutra do popodneva imali i kisu i maglu i sunce… snega je bilo na samom vrhu u ovo doba godine.
Srecno, lep odmor i prepustite se prirodi 🙌
Returning to nature... something perfect. The road to the very top is on some terrain, but the nature is priceless. The very top of the old mountain can be reached from the town of Kalne.
In winter, there are more events along the way, the sweat of the skiers who are at the top and therefore the locals work along the way as well as the local bars and restaurants. While in spring, summer and autumn, there are fewer tourists and therefore less restaurants. Therefore, if you come during that period, make sure that there is no store at the very top. Recommended for a tour, the mountain itself is rich in flora and fauna. Every minute, in clear or rainy weather, is valuable. On the mountain itself, it is possible to experience all seasons during the day. From morning to afternoon, we had both rain and fog and sun... there was snow at the very top at this time of the year.
Good luck, have a nice vacation and let yourself go to nature 🙌

Plenty of nature with rural and not much developed villages. Plenty of interesting sites like beautiful waterfall or nerow gorges, but requires a lot of walk. Some sites might be 16km away so for moderate hiking lovers this is ideal place to spend a day.
Have in mind that roads can be in highly challenging state. Not for large vehicles like buses. Must be careful for sudden stones or holes at road especially when crossing small bridges.

If you really want to relax yourself and enjoy mother nature and her treasures, do visit "Stara planina"! You will never forget the forests the green, the parfume of fresh herbs and grass. You can also meet all kinds of animals. Last time we saw the green river crab in Toplodolska river, lots of protected fish and rare birds. This plase is called "Ogorelica" and it's perfect for a picnick and rifreshing moments in the river!

Бајковито место, прелепи погледи са врхова Бабиног зуба и Миџора, извори пијаће воде на сваком кораку, дуге стазе за озбиљне шетње, нисам ишао зими, после летње шетње која има своје изазове, мислим да је то зими много већи подухват. Верујем да су многи људи упознати са лепотом Старе планине, обиљем биља и диверзитетом, могу само препоручим ово искуство сједињења са природом..
A fairytale place, beautiful views from the peaks of Baba's Tooth and Mijor, sources of drinking water at every step, long trails for serious walks, I didn't go in winter, after a summer walk that has its own challenges, I think it's a much bigger undertaking in winter. I believe that many people are familiar with the beauty of Stara planina, the abundance of plants and diversity, I can only recommend this experience of union with nature.

Forget "must see" and "must visit", this should be on the bucket list for anyone living within a 500km radius. Absolutely phenomenal, with so many attractions and places to visit. I've been there five times so far and plan on going many more times.

Easy access, the monastry is next to the river Erma, so closed to the border with Bulgaria-about 30km. and the town Dimitrovgrad. The road is awesome, the nature is amazing. There is free parking area. Interesting history, peaceful place, beautiful architecture and frescoes.
You can buy interesting symbols and souvenirs from there, also there are hand made products like cheese, bread and dough. They are delicious.
There is a good restaurant closed to the monastry.

Maybe the best monastery around Pirot. Monastery is good looking, with somr tradition preserved, and people there were nice. And now the nature around it, that is something you must visit and feel. It is located between two huge rocks like mountains and it has river with all green nature around it. Air is fresh, smell is perfect and it is really peaceful and calm. Definitely i will visit this at spring or summer, i know that it will be even better looking!

Manastir Poganovo se nalazi na prethodnom mestu, pored reke Jerme i u blizini kanjona, kroz koji prolazi put. Kanjon Jerme ima strme litice i na nekoliko mesta je veoma uzak gotovo da se dve strane dodaju. Manastir Poganovo je dobio ime po bližem selu. Sagrađen je 1395. godine i posvećen je svetom Jovanu Bogoslovu.
Zbog same lokacije manastira i teške pristupačnosti, manastir nikada nije pustošen, nije postojao ni jedan prohodan put do manastira, jer je kanjon reke Jerme u potpunosti bio neprohodan. Nema puno turista i prelepo je mesto zajedno sa svojom okolinom koja nudi obilje zanimljivih lokacija za posetiti.
The Poganovo Monastery is located in a beautiful place, next to the Jerma River and near the canyon, through which the road passes. Jerma Canyon has steep cliffs, and in several places it is very narrow, almost touching the two sides. The Poganovo Monastery was named after a nearby village. It was built in 1395 and is dedicated to Saint John the Theologian.
Due to the very location of the monastery and its difficult accessibility, the monastery was never destroyed. There was not a single passable road to the monastery because the Jerma river, canyon was completely impassable. There are not many tourists, and it is a beautiful place along with its surroundings that offer plenty of interesting sites to visit.

Манастирът "Св. Йоан Богослов е разположен на левия бряг на живописната река Ерма близо до гр. Димитровград в Югоизточна Сърбия, недалеч от София.
В края на XIV в. деспот Константин Деян започнал изграждането, а след смъртта му неговата дъщеря Елена - съпруга на византийския император Мануил II Палеолог продължила строежа на манастира, но едва през 1499 година храмът бил завършен и зографисан.
През периода юли 1879 - ноември 1920 г. манастирът е влизал в пределите на България.
Храмът е богато украсен, стенописите са разгънати на площ повече от 360 квадратни метра.
Една от най-хубавите икони от края на XV век - известна като "двустранната икона от Поганово", е красяла храма до избухването на Втората световна война. На едната й страна е изобразена Пресвета Богородица Катафиги със св.ап. и евангелист Йоан Богослов, а на другата - Христовото чудо в Латом (виж иконите по-долу). Предполага се, че тя е дарена на манастира от дъщерята на деспот Константин. Преди войната светинята е била пренесена в България и днес е изложена в криптата на патриаршеската катедрала "Св. Александър Невски" в София

Wonderful monestary that's completely restored to it's full glory. The surrounding landscape is breathtaking and the church itself has it's original paintings from 1405. Truly an amazing place and definitely a place to visit! Also there is a beautiful restaurant for the tired travelers which in itself is amazing as well!

Close to the road, very nice waterfall. It has little log bridge that you need to pass if you want to get near. This is opsticle for wheelchair as well as for people with children.
On the right side there is a path, if you follow it it will take you to the lakes of this waterfall. I recommend taking the path, it's nice up there.
Also, after the lakes there is one more waterfall so recommendation goes for that also :)
When you get here, you can be with nature for few hours and with minimum effort really.
Enjoy Serbia :)

Nice waterfall with crystal clear water. There is a cave on the right and trail which leads to the top of the waterfall. Close to the waterfall domestic people are selling honey, chees, brandy and souvenirs. On the left, there is a dirt road which leads to the Monastery of St Onufrije and there are some more cascades and little waterfalls close to the road.

Одним из самых загадочных, живописных, необычных и уникальных природных уголков можно назвать водопад Бигар (Bigar waterfall).
Уникальность этого природного чуда не в мощи или впечатляющей высоте, а в его необычном виде. Кроме того, в 2013 году журнал «The World Geography» опубликовал рейтинг «Восемь самых удивительных водопадов мира», где водопад Бигар занял первое почётное место.
Местность, где затаился водопад, называется Караш-Северин, что на западе Румынии, недалеко от города Бозович.
Протекающая здесь река Минис вдруг встречает на своём пути преграду – скалу из известкового туфа сплошь покрытую мхом, её воды окутывают эту скалу и плавно стекают серебристыми струями с 8-ми метровой высоты снова в реку. Стекающая вода становится похожа на элегантную завесу. Таким образом, создаётся четкая граница водопада, а внутри него формируется такой уютный гротик. Это и есть каскадный водопад Бигар. И выглядит всё это фантастически красиво!
Советую побывать в этом удивительном месте с семьей и оставить в памяти незабываемые радужные оттенки мироздания.

Vodopad Bigar se nalazi na Staroj planini na potoku Bukovski do nekoliko kilometara južno od naselja Kalna na putu ka Pirotu vodopad je visok 35 metara i nalazi se na mesto na kome se potok Bukovski do uliva u Stanjinsku reku ,Bigar voda se preliva preko lakog rupicastog kamena bigra po kome je i dobio ime uzvodno od vodopada nalazi se svojevrsna prirodna atrakcija sa više manjih vodopada našla je svoje mesto u koritu reke. A tu su i tri jezera sa bistrom planinskom vodom, podaci o ovom prirodnom fenomenu su oskudni obzirom da se nalaze u slabo naseljenom i nepristupačnom kraju manji vodopadi uzvodno od vodopad Bigar danas su zarasli u travu .Uprošlosti su bili mesto na kome se sakuplja mnogo ljudi za praznike i u vreme vašara. U okolini vodopada Bigar postavljene su pečurke sa klupama za posetioce vodopad je popularna destinacija za sve ljubitelje prirode koji odsedaju u nekom od privatnih smeštaja u okolnim naseljima voda sa vodopada se može koristiti za piće. Nekoliko stotina metara uzvodno nalazi se manastir Svetog Onufrija iz 13 veka.

The waterfalls are amazing. If you are visiting in January there is possibility to see it frozen. Sometimes there are local people selling amazing homemade products. I bought smoked cheese with blueberry and it is amazing :) They are also selling rakija, flowers, etc and the products are not expensive.
