Veliki Buk, Natural monument and waterfall in Opština Despotovac, Serbia.
Veliki Buk is a waterfall in eastern Serbia that drops through a series of cascades surrounded by thick forest growth. The water flows downward in distinct stages, creating a layered visual effect as it descends through the wooded terrain.
The waterfall was designated as a protected natural monument to ensure its preservation and prevent environmental damage. This protection reflects recognition of its importance within the local landscape and natural heritage.
The waterfall serves as a gathering place where local people connect with the natural environment and observe the seasonal changes in water flow. It holds meaning for the community as a symbol of the region's untamed character.
Access is available through marked hiking paths that lead directly to the falls. Multiple observation platforms with safety railings are positioned at different points to allow comfortable viewing without obstacles.
At the base of the waterfall, a natural pool forms where water temperature remains constant year-round. This unchanging coldness is a feature that catches many visitors by surprise and distinguishes it from other waterfalls.
