Lazar’s Canyon, delved masterfully by the river Lazareva reka, stretches along the eastern side of Kučaj mountains.This imposing canyon is carved into the limestone of the Dubašnička ravan and is one of the least negotiable canyons in Serbia. It measures four and a half kilometres in length and the rocks on its side rise up to five hundred metres, while its narrowest point is only four metres wide. The best time to visit is in the summer, as the canyon is fully passable only when there is no water in it.

In Southern Serbia, at the heart of Radan Mountain, nature has “carved” exactly 202 figures in the soil, bedecked with rock caps.

In an effort to explain how they came to be, locals have named them after the one thing they feared the most.
