			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a href="http://www.travel.rs/wp-content/uploads/Tršić.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-3816" style="border: 1px solid black; margin: 1px 3px;" title="Tršić" src="http://www.travel.rs/wp-content/uploads/Tršić-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>Tršić</strong> is a small village with about 1, 200 inhabitants. It is seven kilometers away from the center of Loznica, on the road to Valjevo. Tršić is the birthplace of Vuk Stefanović Karadžić, a Serbian linguist and major reformer of Serbian language and spelling. There is a memorial complex in the village, which comprises the authentic facilities of folk architecture.</p>
<p>The complex encompasses 35 facilities that are under protection of the state, including museums, galleries, water mills, church, old crafts workshop and other dedicated facilities.</p>
<p>The central place within the complex is occupied by Saborište, which is a complex with an amphitheatre where annual Vukov Sabor event is organized. Special entity in this complex is Vuk&#8217; s estate with his house and auxiliary buildings.</p>
<p><em><strong>The Association of Householders Tršić</strong></em> was formed in 2006 with the aim of improving and promoting rural tourism in Vuk&#8217; s region.<br />
Six active households with total accommodation capacity of 62 beds cherish the householding spirit of western Serbia and insist on hospitality and domestic cuisine specialties.<br />
<em><strong>The Association of Householders</strong></em> is also engaged in elaboration and realization of numerous projects that promote, educate, offer additional contents and attract many visitors.<br />
Every year, international volunteer camp Eco &#8211; camp Tršić and Multimedia Art Colony gather young activists and artists whose participation in these events and concrete campaigns contribute to the cultivation of Vuk&#8217; s region. In this way, Tršić becomes the meeting place of tradition and contemporary tendencies that help this area move with the times.<br />
In addition to excellent accommodation capacities and food, cultural and historical heritage, we are also very proud of the surrounding nature that provides the conditions for active and quality vacation.</p>

The entrance of the cave is located at an altitude of 1075 m, and it is 155 m above the riverbed of the Uvac.<br />
Contrary to the Ušac cave system and Tubića cave, it has no visible exit.</p>
<p>With 617 m of explored tunnels, this cave ends in a lake which becomes a siphon and prevents further passage through the tunnel.</p>
<p><br/>Located around 400 m from the entrance, on the left side, is a hydrologically active tunnel which brings water into the main tunnel.</p>
<p>A brook disappears into the earth in this cave, and the villagers have named it <em>Rijeka</em>. At the time of the year when the snow melts or there is heavy rainfall and much water enters the cave, it often becomes flooded.</p>

All of these offer opportunities for recreation and an active vacation.</p>
<p>The thermal waters of Jugovo, at a depth from 746m to 862m, and a temperature of 66 degrees Celsius, increased mineral content and high salinity that give it a flavor of seawater, represent a local potential for the development of spa tourism.</p>
<p><br/>This is the place where, on his return from Italy in 1806, Dositej Obradović set foot on the land of free Serbia. He left behind the following words about Jugovo :<em> &#8221; Ah, my brothers! How short my whole seems, now that I&#8217; ve seen the Smederevo landscapes! One can see here that not even the Turks were deprived of good taste. They stayed with the Serbs, to be ruled by them, just to avoid giving up all this beaty &#8220;.</em></p>

<p>The entrance of the cave is located at an altitude of 1020 m, and its exit is a spring, adjacent to the very riverbed of the Uvac, at an altitude of 980 m.</p>
<p>The cave consists of several tunnels whose total length is 1929 m. The main tunnel is 798 m long and it occasionally transverses the brook of Maljevo which then disappears in the hydrologically stilu active lower layers.</p>
<p>Since the construction of the dam on the River Uvac, the exit of this cave is often flooded with the waters of the reservoir lake.</p>
<p>The cave abounds in decorations. It is among the speleological objects that are easier to visit and it could be interesting for tourist tours.</p>

<p>At the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century, with the establishment of a bourgeois class and their increased wealth, summer houses were added to many of the vineyards and were meant for family vacations. The areas around the houses were made into beautiful parks and woods, and fruit orchards were added to the vineyards.</p>
<p><br/>On Plavinac, near Smederevo, prince Miloš bought a property with a vineyard in 1829, and on it he built a wine cellar. At the request of queen Natalija, in 1897 the modest one &#8211; story summerhouse of prince Mihajlo was added onto, and reconstructed into an opulent, for that time, summer court by the court architect Jovan Ilikić. All the members of the ruling Obrenović family stayed there, from prince Mihajlo to King Aleksander, when they visited the traditional grape harvest in <strong>&#8221; The King Vineyard &#8220;</strong>.</p>
<p>The Obrenović family property, with its villa, woods and vineyards, covers an area of 36ha.</p>

The base of the cross is rectangular, with an added altar apsid to the east and two lateral naves , while in the west there is no narthex.</p>
<p>The wall paintings were produced nearly two centuries after the church was built, and are dated as 16th and early 17th century.</p>
<p><br/>The compositions on the west wall above the entrance are especially valued, as well as those on the arch of the west trave, which depict psalms 148 and 149.</p>
<p>The icons on the altar partition were done by Nikola Apostolović in 1808 and 1827. They are important for studying the art of the period of the Uprisings, considering that they were produced soon after Karađorđe liberated the cityfrom the Turks.</p>
<p>The grave of Dimitrije Davidović, the <em><strong>&#8220;father of Serbian journalism&#8221;</strong></em> , is located near the church.</p>

As soon as one Teferič is over, preparations immediately been for another and it is eagerly awaited.</p>
<p>Both the young and the old go to the Teferič, where they meet with their relatives and friends, enjoying the singing and dancing. These occasions are particularly eagerly awaited by family members who live abroad, as this is an opportunity for them to see all their relatives and friends in one place.</p>
<p><strong>A Teferič</strong> is also an occasion to ask a girl for her hand in marriage, or to arrange a marriage. Those who are more affluent, compete with each other in who will pay more for a dance in the wheel dance, which they request to be played for their daugh ters &#8211; in &#8211; law or sisters &#8211; in &#8211; law. It can happen that as much as 500 euros is paid for one wheel dance. Brides wear much gold jewelry, showing the wealth of the family into which they have been married. Unmarried girls do not wear gold jewelry.</p>
<p>At the Teferič, the most beautiful bride and the most beautiful girl are chosen. They are dressed in stylized folk costumes in red, white, green, orange, and pink colors.</p>
<p>Horse races are also organized on these occasions, stone &#8211; throwing, and competitive events in other traditional skills.</p>
