Today was the day to deep dive in to the history of Serbian spiritual life between 13th and 19th centuries. This area was hart of Serbia in those days and monasteries are everywhere. They are very well preserved or renovated. Most of them have monks present.
It is incredible feeling when standing inside of 800 years old church with priest doing morning ceremony. You don't have to be believer to appreciate greatness of that moment.
I went down to the edge of the artificial lake, where once stood church and monastery of Gračanica Valjevska, 13th century, which was flooded by the construction of the dam. Sad but necessary to protect city of Valjevo from flooding by river Kolubara.
Roads were mostly paved and in good condition with few sections of beautiful stone/dirt roads.
Weather was nice but on cold side.
Happy trails.
