Lazar's Canyon, Protected limestone defile in eastern Serbia.
Lazar's Canyon extends for 9 kilometers through the Kucaj mountains, with limestone cliffs reaching heights of 500 meters along the river path.
During the Ottoman period, the canyon provided shelter to Homolje resistance fighters who used the complex terrain to evade capture.
Serbian geographer Jovan Cvijić conducted extensive research of the canyon's formations, contributing to the understanding of eastern Serbia's geological structures.
The challenging hiking trail spans 19 kilometers with 950 meters of elevation change, requiring sturdy footwear and trekking poles for safe navigation.
The canyon houses over 70 caves, including Lazar's Cave and Vernjikica, along with rare plant species such as Crimean pine and Serbian ramonda.
