Stara planina se sa pravom može nazvati divljom netaknutom lepoticom, a sve zahvaljujući turističkim potencijalima, koji na njoj još uvek nisu dovoljno iskorišćeni. To predstavlja veliki plus za pustolove koji vole da odmaraju na nekonvencionalan način i uživaju u neistraženim prostranstvima. Sa svojim najvišljim vrhom Midžorom  (2169m) na srpskoj strani, i uz mnogobrojne ski staze (Babin Zub, Konjarnik, Jabučko Ravnište, Sunčana Dolina, …), Stara Planina ima neslućene mogućnosti za kvalitetan odmor.

Balkan Mountains can truly be called wild untouched beauty, thanks to the tourism potential, which still aren’t exploited enough. This is a big plus, for adventurers who like to rest in a non conventional way and enjoy the unexplored vastness. With it’s tallest peak of Midzor (2169m) on the serbian side, and with many ski slopes (Babin Zub, Fontana, Jabucko Ravniste, Sun Valley, …), the Balkan Mountains has  unimagined opportunities for a quality holiday, on which it can be proud of .

Vrtovac – Seoski Turizam (Istočna Srbija). Kuća Moravskog stila, karakteristična za ovaj deo Istočne Srbije.

U njemu se nalazi prelepo domaćinstvo Vide i Dragana Pešića, u kome se svaki gost oseća bogovski. Uživali smo u njihovoj gostoprimljivosti, divnom uredjenju i savršenim domaćim specijalitetima.

There is a beautiful household of  Vida and Dragan Pesic , in which every guest feel like a God. We enjoyed their hospitality,  beautiful interior and superb local specialties.

U povratku nismo odoleli a da ne posetimo Knjaževac, simpatičan gradić koji neodoljivo podseća na Veneciju u malom. Leži na 3 reke, a presecaju ga mnogobrojni mostići. Okupan suncem,uz dozu boemskog šmeka, predstavlja idealnu destinaciju za sve zaklete romantičare. Poznat je bio i za vreme Rimljana, a danas ovaj kraj zovu još i vinogorje, po kvalitetnoj ponudi vina. Šetnja Knjaževačkom “Starom Čaršijom”, starim zanatlijskim gnezdom, vraća nas u davno minule dane, nekadašnjih običaja i kulturnog nasledja.

On the way back we can’t resist not to visit Knjazevac, a nice little town that overwhelmingly resemblance to Venice in miniature. It lies on three river, and intersected by numerous bridges. Bathed in sunshine, with a dose of bohemian chic, it’s an ideal destination for all sworn romantic. He was famous in Roman times, and today this place is also called the vineyard, due to the first class wines. Walk trough “old downtown”, an old artisan’s Nest of Knjazevac, takes us back to the days that are past a long time ago, to the former customs and cultural heritage.

Pored Knjazevca, želeli smo da vidimo i Felix Romulianu, kasnoantičku  rimsku carsku palatu, zadužbinu cara Galerija, koja je smeštena nedaleko od Zaječara. Od I veka, ovaj deo Istočne Srbije potpao je pod Rimsku Imperiju, a smatra se da je upravo ovo arheološko nalazište, koje su sloveneni nazvali Gamzigrad, sagradjeno u III i IV veku. Dobilo je ime po majci cara Galerija, Romulijani. Ostaci mozaika, hrama i palate govore da se radi o jednom od najsjajnijih spomenika prošlih vremena.

Besides Knjazevca, we wanted to see and Felix Romuliana, the late classical Roman imperial palace, endowment of Emperor Gallery, which is located not far from Zajecar. Since the first century, this part of  Eastern Serbia came under the Roman Empire, and it is believed that this is the archaeological site, which Slovenian called Gamzigrad, built in the third and fourth century. It was named after the mother of Emperor Gallery, Romuliana. The remains of mosaics, temple and palace say that this is one of the greatest monuments of the past.
