1
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:34,160
Hi I'm Laura Alexandra and welcome to Serbia.
2
00:00:34,160 --> 00:00:39,060
I'm exploring this beautiful European country and discovering its rich history,
3
00:00:39,060 --> 00:00:43,720
unique culture and of course its modern-day offerings.
4
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:48,640
Last time I was in the city of Niš on a journey through its past and present.
5
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:54,340
I also had a chance to visit the natural wonder of Devil's Town a truly unbelievable sight.
6
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:01,320
Now my journey continues as I explore Western Serbia
7
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:04,320
and I'm back on the water for some relaxing sightseeing.
8
00:01:04,900 --> 00:01:09,860
I’m now travelling down Ovčar-Kablar Gorge, towards a magnificent lake
9
00:01:09,860 --> 00:01:15,400
and what better way to take in the panoramic views of western Serbia than by boat?
10
00:01:22,980 --> 00:01:31,040
The gorge is 20 km long. At its widest point is 2 km and at its smallest it's just 100 meters.
11
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:44,560
Edraianthus Canescens, it's a very rare flower that's actually found just here at the gorge, in this protected
12
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:51,440
area you can see behind me. It's a Nature Conservation that's home to loads of very rare and protected species
13
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:59,680
like the Lynx, Wildcats, pigs, wolves and 183 species of birds live there as well.
14
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:12,400
The waters in Serbia are full of fish, especially carp and also catfish as well
15
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:17,600
and apparently, the largest one found in Serbia was well over 2 meters can you imagine?
16
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,800
If you look behind me you can see the mountains and it will be no surprise
17
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,760
that Alpine climbers actually train here
18
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:42,480
Within 6 km there's actually 10 monasteries, and the one you see behind me right now is St Nicholas.
19
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:52,960
The monastery you can see way up there in the mountains is Vaznesenje,
20
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:54,800
which means the ‘Ascension of Jesus Christ’.
21
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:02,080
With all the things to see, and the tranquil pace of the boat ride,
22
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:06,080
this is a wonderful experience with constantly changing scenes of beauty.
23
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:20,880
My boat ride comes to an end right next to a restaurant, where I conveniently have someone waiting for me.
24
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:28,400
I'm in western Serbia and I'm off to meet someone called Mya for lunch.
25
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:39,780
Hi Mya?
26
00:03:39,780 --> 00:03:40,960
Hi nice to meet you
27
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:41,720
Wow!
28
00:04:05,260 --> 00:04:05,960
I like it!
29
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:07,600
Wooo!
30
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,140
Wow that was amazing!
31
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:50,740
Yes they are representatives of Guča trumpet festival and
32
00:04:50,740 --> 00:04:54,920
they participate in competition of the young brass bands here in Guča.
33
00:04:55,420 --> 00:04:57,640
Wow and what about the dress here?
34
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,820
Yes they dress national costume
35
00:05:00,820 --> 00:05:08,020
and each band has ten members. Two trumpets, four tenors and two drums.
36
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:14,320
And in terms of you know the band's themselves is this particularly traditional for Serbia?
37
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:21,360
Yes, yes they dress traditional costume and represent traditional music.
38
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:29,920
They participate in the Guča Trumpet festival every year and they are so good musicals, you listen that?
39
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:31,240
yeah
40
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:37,640
As you know Guča Trumpet Festival is the biggest trumpet festival in Europe, the most important festival.
41
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,720
Wow what happens at the actual festival itself?
42
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:46,080
The festival happens in every year in August
43
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,980
And what actually happens there? Is there anything exciting happens?
44
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:56,160
The festival is famous about trumpet music and has a long trumpet history
45
00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:06,800
because they are bands from every part of Serbia from, from foreign countries also.
46
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,800
So what is the competition actually about? What can you win?
47
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:22,000
In competition participate about 16 to 20 brass bands and the dream of each trumpeter is to win,
48
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:30,420
at Guča trumpet Festival. And there are several awards such as the gold trumpeter, first trumpeter, the best
49
00:06:30,420 --> 00:06:34,460
brass band and it's so important for them.
50
00:06:34,460 --> 00:06:36,280
It's a real honour is it to actually win?
51
00:06:36,280 --> 00:06:46,200
Yes, yes if, if they win in Guča they become the best trumpeters, the best brass band, it's so important for
52
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,760
them they will be famous.
53
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:55,240
And in terms of, you know music in Serbia as a whole, is it very important to people is everyday life?
54
00:06:55,240 --> 00:07:00,000
Yes people here in Serbia love trumpet music
55
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:08,440
and because they love that rich rhythm and they love to dance also.
56
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:13,040
Well looks so exciting but I'd love to have a go at playing one of the trumpets is that okay?
57
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:14,420
Yes, yes of course.
58
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:15,520
Is this for me?
59
00:07:16,100 --> 00:07:17,200
Thank you
60
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:17,900
Okay
61
00:07:20,700 --> 00:07:22,640
three, two, one, go
62
00:08:22,700 --> 00:08:24,720
The golden trumpet!
63
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:34,520
Having wowed everyone with my amazing performance I'm moving on. This time far away from the river,
64
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:38,760
and into the mountains, to explore a totally unique place to stay.
65
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:45,440
I'm here in Drvengrad, this is a village that's created entirely by a famous film director called Kusturica.
66
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:50,960
Behind me you can see Mokra Gora, which means ‘wet mountain’, and you can see why on a day like today.
67
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:56,020
But right now let's get exploring this amazing village and really get our creative juices flowing.
68
00:08:56,680 --> 00:08:57,840
Hi I'm Laura
69
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,040
Hello my name is Nedikrov but you can call me Ned
70
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,620
That's nice and easy to remember I like that so this place looks absolutely amazing,
71
00:09:03,620 --> 00:09:04,860
tell me a little bit about it
72
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:12,960
Okay we are now, this is Drvengrad, or wooden town in Serbian, and it belongs to the famous Director
73
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:21,600
Emir Kusturica and this is also tourist resort. With 150 beds, with some other facilities, which are very
74
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:30,240
interesting to the tourists. Such as a swimming pool, three restaurants, cinema, sports, tennis courts and
75
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:36,640
everything else. So people come here actually to feel that and seek Kusturica’s legacy
76
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,920
on this on this mountain in Mokra Gora.
77
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:45,640
It's absolutely huge by the sounds of it as well, and so much for tourists to do I mean, how much is it to actually stay here?
78
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:52,440
It starts from £20 per night for half board.
79
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:57,960
Wow and in terms of, I've heard that there's a rumour going around that there might be a film school or
80
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,000
some kind of school that you take part in?
81
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:06,600
During, ok, during the whole year there is some kind of festival, some kind of Education Centre,
82
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:17,060
and every January for the last 11 years there is a film festival, Kustendorf, and it's a lot of famous people
83
00:10:17,060 --> 00:10:24,660
from all around the world come here. Such as, I don't know, Johnny Depp, Monica Bellucci, Novak Djokovic
84
00:10:24,660 --> 00:10:32,480
was here, Deigo Maradona because Kusturica made a movie about him. So I said this is, this is a small village
85
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:38,220
in Serbian mountains, but when you're sitting in having coffee you can just see Johnny Depp,
86
00:10:38,220 --> 00:10:40,080
you know, walking around.
87
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:43,260
Rubbing shoulders with the stars that sounds like just my kind of thing well listen,
88
00:10:43,260 --> 00:10:44,700
shall we go and explore a bit more
89
00:10:44,700 --> 00:10:45,340
yes of course
90
00:10:45,340 --> 00:10:45,880
let's go
91
00:10:49,380 --> 00:10:53,800
It really is a fascinating place and the decor is just incredible.
92
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:57,080
I do like the idea of relaxing here with the stars as well.
93
00:10:58,140 --> 00:10:59,980
What's this hanging off the edge of the mountain?
94
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:10,080
A helipad because he is, with the small heli moving around here to Belgrade or to Bosnia or to Montenegro
95
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:14,740
and he's always you know
96
00:11:14,740 --> 00:11:15,880
Always busy
97
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:17,420
On his trip
98
00:11:17,420 --> 00:11:21,440
Flying all over the place well I guess if you're a famous film director that's built a village like this
99
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:22,680
why not have a helipad?
100
00:11:22,680 --> 00:11:23,640
Yes
101
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,920
It's absolutely brilliant here and are there any other places of interest nearby?
102
00:11:27,380 --> 00:11:32,260
Yes we have a very, very special train
103
00:11:32,260 --> 00:11:32,760
Oh
104
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:34,020
Yeah we can go and check it
105
00:11:34,020 --> 00:11:34,700
let's do it
106
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:48,940
I'm in the Mokra Gora Mountains and about to take a trip on the historic railway known as the Sargan Eight.
107
00:11:48,940 --> 00:11:53,280
It's obviously popular as they're already crowds of passengers waiting to board.
108
00:11:58,140 --> 00:12:02,080
As the train arrives the passengers board and I can't wait to find out more.
109
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:07,560
Okay Laura this is a train on Sargan Eight railway.
110
00:12:07,560 --> 00:12:12,140
It's very interesting because we will make a shape of number eight through the mountain
111
00:12:12,140 --> 00:12:12,760
Okay
112
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:14,240
Believe me you like it
113
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,140
It sounds really exciting; let's get on board.
114
00:12:20,500 --> 00:12:22,900
The railway station is wonderfully quaint.
115
00:12:22,900 --> 00:12:26,640
With unique buildings scattered about that really adds to the experience.
116
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:32,780
Once on board the wooden carriage décor reinforces the period feel.
117
00:12:32,780 --> 00:12:35,620
As soon as our tickets have been checked we're on our way.
118
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,540
Tell me about Sargan Eight?
119
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:56,740
Basic things about Sargan Eight is, it’s a 15.1 km long distance from Mokra Gora to Šargan Vitasi,
120
00:12:56,740 --> 00:13:03,900
and between two stations is the Mountain Šargan. The railway eventually makes a shape of a number eight
121
00:13:03,900 --> 00:13:08,260
and that's why we have the Sargan Eight name.
122
00:13:08,260 --> 00:13:11,320
And why is it made in the shape of an eight?
123
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:19,460
Because that was the only way to contour the mountain because the area, oh we're coming into a tunnel.
124
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,780
So we've just come out of another tunnel, how many are there?
125
00:13:26,780 --> 00:13:32,820
There are about 20 tunnels in this part the railway, actually one-third of the distance are
126
00:13:32,820 --> 00:13:34,660
- Train Horn -
127
00:13:34,660 --> 00:13:45,560
tunnels, from 20 meters to 1 mile. There's the reason why we cannot feel the number eight.
128
00:13:45,560 --> 00:13:46,440
Yeah.
129
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:53,280
because there is 20 tunnels and it’s dark in the tunnels of course and you cannot feel. How can we
130
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:59,700
understand? We will have stopped on the, on the crossing of the three levels of the railway. And that's
131
00:13:59,700 --> 00:14:05,680
the only way we can understand how we're going to make the number 8 through the Šargan Mountain.
132
00:14:05,680 --> 00:14:07,040
And actually seeing the number eight as well?
133
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:10,420
Yes of course, yes of course and to understand
134
00:14:10,420 --> 00:14:15,440
Tell me about it when this was actually made? How long it took to make?
135
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:24,980
This part of the railway was finally finished in 1925 after four years of the work. That was kingdom of
136
00:14:24,980 --> 00:14:32,700
Serbs, Croats and Slovenians from the former Kingdom, between four and five thousand people used
137
00:14:32,700 --> 00:14:41,040
to work here. So you can imagine how it was like in ants in the mountains, working eighty years ago,
138
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:47,120
without satelitte, without computer you know? With hands, and some TNT something like that.
139
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:52,480
It was really hard jobs and it was like science fiction for the people from this region.
140
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,740
I'm sure it was and what about the views what can we see from here?
141
00:14:55,740 --> 00:15:01,960
It's the wooden town of Kusturica, depending on the level. Sometimes on the right, sometimes on the left
142
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:08,420
side. As I said we start from 500 and go up to 800 meters above sea level.
143
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:18,560
We're gonna get off and see how, look how actually number eight looks.
144
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,120
Okay what's the name of this station?
145
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:20,860
Err crossing, It’s a crossing.
146
00:15:20,860 --> 00:15:22,160
Okay well let's go and have a look
147
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:33,880
As the other passengers disembark and continue their journeys, the locomotive moves to the other end of the
148
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,340
carriages for the return journey.
149
00:15:40,500 --> 00:15:45,180
Once it's ready the Sargan Eight loads up a fresh group of passengers and is on its way once more.
150
00:15:46,780 --> 00:15:52,880
We found a unique spot with a magnificent view of the train, majestically navigating the mountainous routes.
151
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,060
- Train Horn -
152
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:04,480
I've been above, below and through these mountains.
153
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:08,040
Whichever method you prefer though this area is gorgeous.
154
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:12,220
Now it's time to get in amongst them for a hike in search of something special.
155
00:16:13,380 --> 00:16:16,640
Ned you've brought me to Tara National Park, what are we doing here?
156
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:22,760
Now we are going to the one beautiful viewpoint, one of the most impressive here,
157
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,520
but not just in the mountains, but also in Serbia.
158
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:30,720
Hang on a second that's a sign for bears, are there bears here?
159
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:37,740
Yes, you can see it's brown bear country of course that this is their territory and there is 50 of them in in this
160
00:16:37,740 --> 00:16:46,760
region of national park. In whole of Serbia it's 70, so this is a really big number and okay, we will not see it
161
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:52,760
you know like in the zoo that they are running around, but there is possibility for bear watching and it's a
162
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:58,240
program, it's a new program with World Wide Fund and Tara National Park together from last year.
163
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:06,160
So there is 4 feeding points here in the mountains and we go from the April to the October, beginning of
164
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:12,240
November, when they are active, not sleeping, and so you can go and see from the from the house.
165
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:22,380
Actually couple of meters from you bear, you know, eating or playing with the kids and it's really adrenaline
166
00:17:22,380 --> 00:17:28,380
and you feel very happy I don't know it's a strange feeling.
167
00:17:28,380 --> 00:17:29,360
Yeah of course
168
00:17:29,360 --> 00:17:32,600
Yeah you're afraid and happy
169
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:36,880
All mixed into one and do the bears just remain here or do they like exploring elsewhere?
170
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:43,680
Errr The number of 50 bears, I said around 50, because they are moving from Serbia to Bosnia,
171
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:50,400
we’re close, very close here to the border. So they go without a passport, without IDs,
172
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:51,580
cross from Serbia to Bosnia
173
00:17:51,580 --> 00:17:52,440
Just do what they want
174
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:53,140
Yeah
175
00:17:53,140 --> 00:17:57,100
Love it, well listen there's so much of the national park to explore should we have a little look.
176
00:18:06,380 --> 00:18:10,780
It's quite an easy trek up the mountain with vast trails that are simple to follow
177
00:18:10,780 --> 00:18:14,280
and if you know your stuff there's plenty to see on the way.
178
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,800
There's a lot of vegetation for being up so high?
179
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:24,060
Yes because here in the mountains you can find over 1,000 plant species, for example this is a wild
180
00:18:24,060 --> 00:18:31,060
strawberry, and some 70 percents of herbs of Serbia you can find here in the mountain.
181
00:18:31,060 --> 00:18:37,940
All 250 different mushrooms, it's a very rich National Park.
182
00:18:45,100 --> 00:18:47,080
So what types of Black Eagles do you get?
183
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:49,260
erm black?
184
00:18:49,260 --> 00:18:50,380
haha
185
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:54,300
oh Laura
186
00:18:58,660 --> 00:19:00,440
Wow, what an incredible view
187
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:10,760
Yeah it is. Actually what we are seeing now it's Drina River Gorge and it's really beautiful Canyon,
188
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:19,020
about 25 km long and you can see the rocks are over 1,000 meter over the water.
189
00:19:19,020 --> 00:19:27,700
And it's really amazing when you come with the boat inside the canyon and also it's a lake, it's Perućac Lake.
190
00:19:27,700 --> 00:19:34,480
It's 52 kilometres long from here, from Perućac to Višegrad in Bosnia and also it’s now border with
191
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,220
between Serbia and Bosnia.
192
00:19:37,700 --> 00:19:39,660
And what's the history of the gorge?
193
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:50,960
The history, well in the 1966 actually they built a power station and that's the year it's artificial lake.
194
00:19:50,960 --> 00:20:02,620
And it's very famous because of the rafting people used to use Drina River would make rafts and transport
195
00:20:02,620 --> 00:20:07,720
trees and wood from the mountain, from here to Belgrade.
196
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:13,760
And that's why this region of Drina River is very famous in Serbia.
197
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:18,380
It's just absolutely surreal the view right now I just feel like I'm on top of the world.
198
00:20:18,380 --> 00:20:20,760
Yes, we are in the airplane
199
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:26,320
Well I didn't see any bears this time but I have spotted something that looks fun.
200
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:31,600
We've made it down to the gorge and the river Drina and right now I'm going to try paddling of a different
201
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:36,000
kind. Anyway I've never tried this before but today I'm going paddle boarding.
202
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:43,800
With just a little bit of direction and some gentle assistance, I'm in the water and ready to paddle.
203
00:20:45,740 --> 00:20:52,740
The river Drina is about 15 to 17 meters deep but in the summer, during the dry season, it can be as little as five
204
00:20:52,740 --> 00:20:55,180
centimetres. Quite a difference.
205
00:20:57,700 --> 00:21:04,720
The Drina leads to the river Sava about 160 km away and has really strong currents created by a large
206
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:10,400
amount of rocks on the riverbed. It kind of looks like a cooking pot with all the bubbles swirling around.
207
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:19,680
Our destination along the river is this stunning waterfall and wow what a sight.
208
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:27,100
Now I finally have control of my paddle board, I just have to take a moment to enjoy the serenity of my
209
00:21:27,100 --> 00:21:33,140
surroundings. It's truly beautiful and seeing it from the river somehow makes it even better.
210
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:53,100
It’s actually easier than I thought it would be, but they're famous last words aren't they? Which means I'm
211
00:21:53,100 --> 00:21:56,540
probably going to fall in soon but I can actually do it and sort of stand up
212
00:21:56,540 --> 00:21:57,440
Woah
213
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:02,340
she says crashing into you, that was brilliant.
214
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:09,680
You know what? That was an absolute adrenaline rush but there's one more thing to do before I leave
215
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:13,380
Tara National Park and Drina River as well come with me.
216
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:24,540
This time I'm getting some help. My guide is taking me to one of his favourite places further along the river.
217
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,960
We're heading to a place called the ‘House on the Rock’. Sounds intriguing.
218
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:35,860
The power of the river pushes us along quite quickly and I even tried to help as we paddle, with the current,
219
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,340
and unmistakeably there it is.
220
00:22:39,340 --> 00:22:40,900
A house on a rock.
221
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:48,720
It was originally built in 1968 by locals who loved being by the river and wanted a place to jump in,
222
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:50,800
relax and have barbecues.
223
00:22:51,500 --> 00:22:55,860
The house has been destroyed seven times over the years due to floods,
224
00:22:55,860 --> 00:22:58,740
but has been rebuilt by locals every time.
225
00:22:58,740 --> 00:23:01,060
This one was constructed in 2010.
226
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:08,680
After all the adrenaline rush I've had today with those activities you know what? I think I deserve a drink.
227
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:22,320
It's been a jam-packed day and I'm certainly ready for something more calming.
228
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:26,560
It just so happens there's a Rakia factory just a short distance away.
229
00:23:28,540 --> 00:23:29,520
Hi Ned
230
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:31,220
Hi Laura how are you?
231
00:23:31,220 --> 00:23:32,240
I'm really good thank you
232
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,040
I bet you need a drink after today?
233
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:35,240
Yeah, definitely do
234
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:36,860
Let's go I will show you something.
235
00:23:36,860 --> 00:23:38,100
Okay excellent
236
00:23:38,100 --> 00:23:45,660
So we are now in this distillery, it’s actually one of the oldest in Serbia, and the culture of preparing Rakia
237
00:23:45,660 --> 00:23:54,420
here starts in the first half of the 19th century. So it was really a long time ago and today we are in
238
00:23:54,420 --> 00:24:06,340
BB Klekovača Distillery, they produce annually around 150,000 bottles of different types of Rakia
239
00:24:06,340 --> 00:24:11,340
and now they have ten different types of Rakia in the offer.
240
00:24:11,340 --> 00:24:13,800
So what's so special about this particular?
241
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:22,380
This, the name BB Klekovača means juniper brandy, so its base of the plum, plum brandy, plum Rakia
242
00:24:22,380 --> 00:24:23,220
Yeah
243
00:24:23,220 --> 00:24:31,540
With small balls of juniper put in barrels for 20 days and it's very specific taste
244
00:24:31,540 --> 00:24:36,340
and that's the reason why this is very important and very famous in Serbia.
245
00:24:36,340 --> 00:24:39,540
Can you show me some juniper and what it actually looks like when it's raw?
246
00:24:39,540 --> 00:24:48,360
Yes, yeah of course you can, you can see, you can see this is actually a juniper. A small balls of juniper
247
00:24:48,360 --> 00:24:50,540
I'm sure that I've seen some of this actually
248
00:24:50,540 --> 00:24:53,400
Yes you saw this on Tara mountain
249
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:54,600
Oh at Tara National Park?
250
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:55,160
yes
251
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:55,660
Wow
252
00:24:55,660 --> 00:24:56,240
from the viewpoints
253
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:57,460
so it's just local to this region?
254
00:24:57,460 --> 00:25:02,440
Yes this is local, this is a local and that's why this Rakia is so special
255
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:03,840
So you put the fruit in here?
256
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:10,660
and yes but first you need to put in a special barrel for it depends from two to four weeks.
257
00:25:10,660 --> 00:25:12,200
Is that what the barrels behind us are?
258
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:13,700
No, no this one and this one
259
00:25:13,700 --> 00:25:14,540
Oh okay
260
00:25:14,540 --> 00:25:17,820
and after that you put it here in a happy machines
261
00:25:17,820 --> 00:25:18,340
Yeah?
262
00:25:18,340 --> 00:25:19,280
And then you put fire inside.
263
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:20,480
I like that happy machines.
264
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:22,800
and you see the pipes?
265
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:23,300
yeah
266
00:25:23,300 --> 00:25:33,360
So actually you could kind of doing distillery and they use pipes to come inside and finally you have this big
267
00:25:33,360 --> 00:25:34,380
white barrel,
268
00:25:34,380 --> 00:25:35,140
This one here?
269
00:25:35,140 --> 00:25:40,720
Yes and it's a pipe you can you can drink Rakia.
270
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:41,840
oh wow
271
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:48,520
And Rakia is, Rakia is something specific it's a, it's a culture of Serbian people and Serbian people are very
272
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:55,420
proud of Rakia. In the world they said Nokia connecting people, in Serbia we say Rakia connecting people and
273
00:25:55,420 --> 00:25:56,680
really it is true.
274
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:01,280
Do you know what? Listening to all this history of Rakia that just made me really thirsty and I still
275
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:03,760
haven't had a drink! So erm let's go.
276
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:04,640
Let's go, let's do it
277
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:16,460
Since I've been so good and waited patiently I've decided it's time for a well-earned drink.
278
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:23,280
I have been looking forward to this Rakia since all my river experiences, paddle boarding, kayaking,
279
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:28,280
it's been absolutely brilliant seeing Tara National Park and the surrounding areas as well, so
280
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:32,220
thank you so, so much Ned and Živeli.
281
00:26:32,220 --> 00:26:35,640
It was my pleasure, I hope so you will enjoy the rest of Serbia. Živeli
282
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:36,460
Živeli
283
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:51,360
It's been a fun-filled time in the Tara National Park but now I’m on my way to the mountain resort Zlatibor.
284
00:26:51,360 --> 00:26:55,280
The air here is so clear it's considered a natural spa,
285
00:26:55,280 --> 00:27:00,960
with glorious rolling hills and an upbeat atmosphere I can't wait to see what it has in store for me.
286
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:06,960
Zlatibor has loads to do including stuff for the mums and dads and the kids as well. So today I've come to
287
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:08,560
the Avantura Park to have some fun.
288
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:16,560
I've never done one of these before but it doesn't look too difficult, I mean if children can do it so can I, right?
289
00:27:18,360 --> 00:27:19,860
Hi my name is Micalo
290
00:27:19,860 --> 00:27:21,020
I'm Laura nice to meet you.
291
00:27:21,020 --> 00:27:27,420
Welcome to Adventure Park and this is safety, most important, but also and enjoy okay?
292
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:32,460
Now this is your harness, take it like a pair of pants from the top.
293
00:27:32,460 --> 00:27:33,620
Okay
294
00:27:33,620 --> 00:27:34,800
Put my leg in like that?
295
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:38,480
Yeah, ready now, we got training level okay.
296
00:27:39,060 --> 00:27:44,360
I'm given a thorough safety briefing on how to use the equipment. I pick it up pretty quickly as it's quite
297
00:27:44,360 --> 00:27:48,260
intuitive. Before long I'm ready to start the actual course.
298
00:27:48,260 --> 00:27:48,820
Take a seat
299
00:27:50,700 --> 00:27:53,920
So effectively all I've got to do is ride it straight?
300
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:55,600
Yeah just keep your bike straight
301
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:56,780
That brake doesn’t work
302
00:27:56,780 --> 00:27:57,280
No
303
00:27:58,180 --> 00:27:58,760
and go
304
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:00,460
- SCREAMS -
305
00:28:00,460 --> 00:28:01,320
Oh my god
306
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,360
Oh I made it, that’s quite scary that.
307
00:28:23,060 --> 00:28:25,940
This looks like a plait that I'd have in my hair it's quite pretty.
308
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:28,900
It’s quite,
309
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:29,900
Woah
310
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:31,760
quite wobbly.
311
00:28:32,660 --> 00:28:36,200
I've got it though got it just this end bit
312
00:28:42,620 --> 00:28:44,660
I got there, it wasn’t graceful but I got there.
313
00:28:45,500 --> 00:28:46,300
Woah
314
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:49,600
It's like playing a computer game
315
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:55,440
Yeah go higher, yeah, that's it and then just go, yeah
316
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:19,040
One more step
317
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:25,020
It's taking all of my concentration just to get across. It's a little tougher than I thought but great fun.
318
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:26,660
Just about
319
00:29:31,060 --> 00:29:32,500
That is so tiring
320
00:29:35,980 --> 00:29:37,800

We buy here the best of Zlatibor products that are all domestic, local products from surrounding villages.
338
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,400
I love the smells as well that are coming out
339
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:32,420
It's a great smell
340
00:30:32,420 --> 00:30:33,700
It’s so good
341
00:30:33,700 --> 00:30:42,120
It's the specialty you can see the prosciutto, that's dried meat, it could be pork or it could be beef meat.
342
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:46,140
And here you can see the plants,
343
00:30:46,140 --> 00:30:53,540
it's like the health plants so we got kind of dietary and yeah it's good for healing like a lot of problem diseases.
344
00:30:53,540 --> 00:30:59,220
I like things like this almost like, fruit teas and green teas and things what we've got down here as well.
345
00:30:59,220 --> 00:31:00,240
Very nice.
346
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,800
You can see the different types of honey
347
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:04,840
Oh wow, you've actually got the honeycomb in here as well!
348
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:05,600
Yes.
349
00:31:05,780 --> 00:31:11,220
That's really unusual I love that! Love the fact that's got that in there and what about these what are these?
350
00:31:11,220 --> 00:31:13,500
It's propolis
351
00:31:13,500 --> 00:31:16,940
Oh propolis, that’s from the honey as well the really good bit.
352
00:31:16,940 --> 00:31:19,200
It's a good for health you want to try?
353
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:23,780
Why not! Sure let's try some, what the whole bottle?
354
00:31:23,780 --> 00:31:25,120
What do you want to try?
355
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:26,500
I'll try what he recommends
356
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:29,340
You want a plum brandy maybe?
357
00:31:29,340 --> 00:31:30,120
Yeah sure
358
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:31,120
or honey brandy?
359
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:32,920
Honey brandy actually honey would be good.
360
00:31:34,260 --> 00:31:36,720
How nice is this? What a great trip out.
361
00:31:37,620 --> 00:31:39,640
Please this is so cute look at the little cup.
362
00:31:40,660 --> 00:31:41,180
Mmmm
363
00:31:41,180 --> 00:31:42,820
And a little bit of propolis
364
00:31:42,820 --> 00:31:44,780
This is absolutely it's delicious
365
00:31:44,780 --> 00:31:46,320
Actually its medicine
366
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:46,820
is it?
367
00:31:46,820 --> 00:31:48,220
It's not alcohol it's medicine
368
00:31:48,220 --> 00:31:52,260
This is absolutely delicious, is it actually alcoholic though this as well?
369
00:31:52,260 --> 00:31:58,800
Well, yeah, yes so because of that we shouldn't drink a lot of it
370
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:04,320
That tastes like liquid honey I mean that just literally tastes like liquid, alcoholic honey.
371
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:06,820
It's really nice and it's really warming as well. I like that.
372
00:32:10,420 --> 00:32:15,300
I can't get over how good some of these products are I think I need to take some home with me.
373
00:32:19,780 --> 00:32:21,420
You know what this is so good.
374
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:27,860
I'm actually gonna get myself a bottle of this, could I have some a bottle is that okay?
375
00:32:27,860 --> 00:32:29,580
600 Dinars
376
00:32:29,580 --> 00:32:34,280
600 Dinars? That sounds like a bargain to me thank you so much and Živeli,
377
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:34,840
Živeli.
378
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:35,380
Živeli
379
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:53,460
Woooo
380
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:55,600
Look at the horses
381
00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:58,080
Hi horses
382
00:33:00,380 --> 00:33:01,460
Woohoo
383
00:33:03,020 --> 00:33:05,200
Woooah, let's go up here
384
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:13,470
Neverna that was so much fun, obviously we're taking a little break from quad biking but tell me about,
385
00:33:13,465 --> 00:33:14,795
about this place where we are?
386
00:33:15,380 --> 00:33:16,820
We are on the,
387
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:23,780
as my opinion is the, one of the most beautiful spots here in Zlatibor. I hope that you enjoy our ride?
388
00:33:23,780 --> 00:33:25,720
I loved it
389
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:31,240
So you can see if people come here during the summer, or spring time, they can have adrenaline like this.
390
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:36,320
They can have a lot of activities here in the nature, but we also saw the ski resort.
391
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:37,080
Wow!
392
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:39,100
even, you can’t imagine it now.
393
00:33:39,100 --> 00:33:43,280
Actually, we are actually the winter ski resort. So people come here also for skiing,
394
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:53,000
we have a big ski resort only 9 km from the touristic Centre. We have the three ski slopes, the big ski lifts
395
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:59,120
and we have a lot of people who love Zlatibor. Actually the people come here just to be free and to enjoy in
396
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:01,780
the unlimited nature and adventure
397
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:07,100
And with Zlatibor as well it just seems like an all-round resort. I mean we're here summertime, beautiful
398
00:34:07,100 --> 00:34:11,160
flowers all around us, beautiful wildlife, the horses are even here while we're quad biking.
399
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:12,980
And equally you can come skiing in the winter?
400
00:34:12,980 --> 00:34:20,140
Yeah so Zlatibor is a destination for whole year and for every kind visitor. For kids, for young people, for adults,
401
00:34:20,140 --> 00:34:26,140
for seniors, so for every kind of visitor we have interesting activities during the whole year.
402
00:34:26,140 --> 00:34:30,060
Sounds amazing well listen, I want to get back on the quads and go around this place again because it
403
00:34:30,060 --> 00:34:31,980
was just so much fun. Should we do it?
404
00:34:31,980 --> 00:34:32,600
Of course
405
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:34,000
Let's do it
406
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:41,440
oh it's a bit bumpy
407
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:56,400
Zlatibor is clearly a great place to come for some wild adventure in summer or winter
408
00:34:56,400 --> 00:35:01,180
but I've heard that something amazing lies beneath - a subterranean wonderland.
409
00:35:01,180 --> 00:35:02,660
So it's time to go exploring.
410
00:35:03,260 --> 00:35:07,940
So I’ve seen Zlatibor from above the ground and right now I’m at Stopića caves
411
00:35:07,940 --> 00:35:12,640
and this is a subterranean experience and Milosh is here to tell us more. Hello.
412
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:17,800
Hello Laura, thank you very much that you came to here at Stopića cave. First of all I would like to say you are
413
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:22,640
welcome. The Stopića cave is one of the most significant caves here in this Zlatibor area.
414
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:29,160
The Zlatibor area it's also very known by the caves but Stopića cave is one of the most significant because
415
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:34,500
of the large entrance because this is the one of the largest entrances in the caves in the balcony.
416
00:35:34,500 --> 00:35:41,120
Because there is a 35 meters wide and 18 meters high that is one of the largest entrances.
417
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:45,780
I'm very excited about this, Milosh? Am I dressed okay because it feels quite chilly down here?
418
00:35:45,780 --> 00:35:52,560
Yes there would be a little bit chilly, but you're dressed very good because the drops falling down on our head.
419
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:58,340
And there is a hair saloon inside and I will explain you all things about that hair saloon in the cave.
420
00:35:58,340 --> 00:36:00,820
Oh sounds very exciting shall we go and investigate?
421
00:36:00,820 --> 00:36:02,140
Of course, let's go
422
00:36:02,140 --> 00:36:02,640
let's go
423
00:36:06,140 --> 00:36:11,780
The sheer size of this cave is astounding, even though Milosh did say it was going to be cold and wet down
424
00:36:11,780 --> 00:36:16,000
here I'm honestly surprised by just how much colder it is.
425
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:19,820
Despite this we press on into the depths to see the wonders inside.
426
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:28,320
Ok Laura I will explain why this cave is a little bit different than other caves of this type.
427
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:34,440
Actually you know that cave jewellery are stalactites, which rising from the top to the bottom,
428
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:37,820
and stalagmites which are from the bottom rising to the top.
429
00:36:37,820 --> 00:36:46,120
For 1 cubic centimetres of stalagmites or stalactites actually they need about to pass about hundred years
430
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:52,360
approximately, that's how scientists can count how some cave is old.
431
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:59,760
In this cave we have a lot of stalactites, which are on the top but here is no stalagmites because this is a
432
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:06,320
river cave, the river passing all the way to the cave and that's how the river is floating away and took away that
433
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:12,200
water which made which should be made our stalagmites on the on the bottom.
434
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:20,120
When there is a one funny story about stalagmites and stalactite, when they are just 2 centimetres close to
435
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:25,860
each other people are calling that desire, because they have desired to touch each other.
436
00:37:25,860 --> 00:37:34,480
When they just touch each other, we call it a cave kiss, and after that kiss, that kiss became a one beautiful
437
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:44,200
column in the cave. Unfortunately in this cave we don't have a stalactite and we can have a kiss, and a column,
438
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:51,320
because river take that water away. Now I wanted to show you something more beautiful here in this cave
439
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:52,140
and let's go to see.
440
00:37:52,140 --> 00:37:52,640
Ok great
441
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:59,340
The infrastructure inside makes it quite easy to get through the caves
442
00:37:59,340 --> 00:38:01,520
and steps take you to all the best spots.
443
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:10,920
Well this is something for what is more significant for this cave, this limestone tubs. Actually the creek,
444
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:16,780
the river that we show a long time ago actually didn't pass where it is now. It passed to this channel
445
00:38:16,780 --> 00:38:24,960
and the water, inside the water, is a lot of crystals of the calcium. And in some period of the year that water has
446
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:32,280
stopped and on the edges of some areas that limestone starting to collect and that's how these tubs
447
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:39,340
actually are made. And for thousands and thousands of years they rise, every year. Something similar when
448
00:38:39,340 --> 00:38:45,500
you left the water in the glass, and you forget to spill in the night, tomorrow morning you will see
449
00:38:45,500 --> 00:38:56,040
the white marks on the under glass. That is how this actually tubs are made of this water, is very rich with the
450
00:38:56,040 --> 00:39:03,420
calcium but also with the iron and that's why these tubs are actually orange or yellow.
451
00:39:03,420 --> 00:39:06,600
And what about the deepest one of these limestone rocks?
452
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:12,720
The longest one actually he is the 14 meters, and the deepest one is just here,
453
00:39:12,720 --> 00:39:17,020
the third from here, is a 7.2 meters deep
454
00:39:17,020 --> 00:39:21,040
Wow that is super deep and they're just passing the water from one to the other?
455
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:28,120
Yes from one to the other, yes, in some period of the year in the, in the spring where there is a lot of first
456
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:35,640
snow melting and a lot of rain, these tubs are full of water and the water are passing from one to another.
457
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:41,900
After that, with the level of water right now, these tubs becoming dry
458
00:39:41,900 --> 00:39:44,920
and in some period they are absolutely dry.
459
00:39:45,220 --> 00:39:49,940
It's an incredible sight to see and it must be even more exciting when they're full as well,
460
00:39:49,940 --> 00:39:51,960
there's loads of water in these caves as well isn’t there?
461
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:52,940
Do you want to see more?
462
00:39:52,940 --> 00:39:53,440
Yeah!
463
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:55,100
Let's go to see more water
464
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:09,060
Wow!
465
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:18,640
This is actually a waterfall and more water that I wanted to show you. This waterfall, or this river,
466
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:25,800
starts out of the cave and then entering the cave, passing with a 700-meter long channel and here in this
467
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:33,400
area is made one beautiful waterfall. In this period this level of water is a little bit lower than normal but the in
468
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:40,040
a spring or autumn, when there's a lot of snow melting and rain, this waterfall is much more stronger.
469
00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:50,100
But also this waterfall, and this water in the top, made one beautiful natural phenomenon. It is cave pot
470
00:40:50,100 --> 00:40:57,720
because in some period of water passing very far, and in depth, or circling back
471
00:40:57,720 --> 00:40:59,040
Like a whirlpool?
472
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:08,020
Yes and that's how water dig that deep, water which are three to four meters deep, that is some natural
473
00:41:08,020 --> 00:41:11,680
phenomenon here and it's very fitting example to this waterfall.
474
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:16,140
And I think it's brilliant that when you come here to see the gauge, you can actually
475
00:41:16,140 --> 00:41:21,120
walk over and defy gravity of the actual end of the waterfall as well.
476
00:41:21,620 --> 00:41:29,300
Yeah this area was prepared very much for the tourists, and to enjoy in waters of this day and this area here
477
00:41:29,300 --> 00:41:34,920
It is fabulous Milosh, you've been the perfect caveman thank you very much.
478
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:48,400
Back on the surface and in the hot sun I'm at a unique heritage village
479
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:50,840
where people live almost like they used to.
480
00:41:55,040 --> 00:42:02,160
Sirogojno is an Ethno village which expresses the culture, historically of the way of life in Serbia.
481
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:06,520
In effect it's actually an open-air museum. Milosh can you tell us a bit more?
482
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:13,040
Yes the village here is a situated in the middle of the 1800s to present the way of life of how people lived in
483
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:20,000
Serbia a long time ago. All the way to the middle of the last century, maybe in some rural places in Serbia,
484
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:27,880
people still live in this way of life in similar houses. Now in this certain village we will see what objects and
485
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:35,340
how people actually lived in that area. There is a main house, in Serbian language Magaza, which is a made
486
00:42:35,340 --> 00:42:43,280
from two parts and then barn, corn crib, bee house and many other things what you see.
487
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:49,200
If you are interested we can go inside house to see the real way of life and how people lived in the house?
488
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:50,800
I'd love to see that, can we?
489
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:51,500
Let's go.
490
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:08,620
We're now in Serbian traditional house and this lady, Garina, will show us how to prepare our very traditional
491
00:43:08,620 --> 00:43:13,360
Serbian cheese pie here in Zlatibor, and she will show you the first steps
492
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:16,060
and you will help her to finish that pie.
493
00:43:16,060 --> 00:43:16,840
Oh Excellent.
494
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:18,460
- Speaks Serbian -
495
00:43:18,460 --> 00:43:18,960
Yes
496
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:23,360
Just a little bit to roll this.
497
00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:25,820
Now Laura you can try.
498
00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:29,520
Now you can try.
499
00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:31,960
Okay, Thank you
500
00:43:32,540 --> 00:43:36,380
Just make it as thinner as it's possible all the way to the end.
501
00:43:37,180 --> 00:43:39,140
It’s quite hard on these little seats isn't it?
502
00:43:39,940 --> 00:43:41,860
Then in the opposite direction.
503
00:43:41,860 --> 00:43:42,620
okay
504
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:50,080
The floor here is to stop pastry to get glued to the table.
505
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:51,980
Oh to stop it getting stuck on the table,
506
00:43:53,380 --> 00:43:54,820
I think I'm quite good at this.
507
00:43:54,820 --> 00:43:59,120
All the way to the end, let me help you for this side
508
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:00,720
I’ll pass it over to you
509
00:44:00,720 --> 00:44:03,220
We do this all together. One more time from this side.
510
00:44:03,220 --> 00:44:03,800
Okay
511
00:44:04,740 --> 00:44:06,540
Okay Milosh you ready to take over?
512
00:44:06,540 --> 00:44:07,040
Yes.
513
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:09,660
Team work I like it.
514
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:15,540
And now we will all stretch it to be as thinner as it possible.
515
00:44:15,700 --> 00:44:16,580
Okay
516
00:44:16,580 --> 00:44:19,020
From the middle inside and go outside
517
00:44:19,940 --> 00:44:21,840
just slowly, don't
518
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:23,520
Oh I’ve made a hole already.
519
00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:27,520
To be as possible as it
520
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:28,620
as thin as possible.
521
00:44:28,620 --> 00:44:29,360
okay
522
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:31,300
Here is a filling for inside.
523
00:44:31,300 --> 00:44:32,260
Oh I love cheese.
524
00:44:32,260 --> 00:44:33,920
Actually there's a cheese with an egg.
525
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:34,660
Oh nice.
526
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:42,340
You kind of do it quite sporadically don't you?
527
00:44:42,340 --> 00:44:43,520
Yes probably
528
00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:45,480
I feel like an artist doing this.
529
00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:45,980
Yes
530
00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:48,660
Don't make it bigger.
531
00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:52,900
Maybe sort try and spread it out a little bit.
532
00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:54,740
Okay
533
00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:58,180
I bet she hates me helping her doesn’t she?
534
00:44:58,180 --> 00:45:00,720
That’s enough don't, don't put too much.
535
00:45:00,720 --> 00:45:01,820
Okay, so that’s enough?
536
00:45:01,820 --> 00:45:02,780
Yes, that is enough
537
00:45:02,780 --> 00:45:03,340
Yeah?
538
00:45:03,340 --> 00:45:04,260
Okay
539
00:45:04,260 --> 00:45:06,480
Now we start to roll.
540
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:10,360
- Speaks Serbian -
541
00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:14,500
Start to roll, and starting with the top.
542
00:45:14,500 --> 00:45:15,560
Oh wow.
543
00:45:18,020 --> 00:45:18,820
Look at that.
544
00:45:22,140 --> 00:45:23,500
That is so clever.
545
00:45:23,500 --> 00:45:26,800
In this we're gonna bake that pie
546
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:29,980
and first we roll it
547
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:33,980
Oh it's like a little sausage in there
548
00:45:33,987 --> 00:45:34,487
yeah
549
00:45:34,487 --> 00:45:36,057
she made that look so easy
550
00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:41,460
And that there's a pie prepared for baking
551
00:45:41,460 --> 00:45:42,420
Look at that
552
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:44,760
Ooo it’s hot.
553
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:48,180
Having put the bread on the fire, which was incredibly hot by the way,
554
00:45:48,180 --> 00:45:51,900
it's only a short time later that the bread is cooked and ready to eat.
555
00:45:52,380 --> 00:45:54,360
Wow this is so hot.
556
00:45:55,240 --> 00:45:57,060
I’m going to put it onto here now.
557
00:45:57,060 --> 00:45:58,440
Of course it's delicious.
558
00:45:58,440 --> 00:45:59,120
Mmm
559
00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:01,940
that is really nice.
560
00:46:01,940 --> 00:46:02,520
It’s so delicious.
561
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:06,180
The village gives tourists the opportunity to stay overnight,
562
00:46:06,180 --> 00:46:09,080
with wonderfully rustic accommodation available.
563
00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:13,160
The authenticity is amazing and enhanced by some amazing views.
564
00:46:15,700 --> 00:46:17,480
Next time on Serbia Old and New.
565
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:22,820
My time in Serbia comes to an end, but not until I ventured to the north of the country
566
00:46:22,820 --> 00:46:25,420
to explore its second largest city Novi Sad.
567
00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:29,320
Wine, dancing, music and more.
568
00:46:29,720 --> 00:46:30,700
See you next time.
