Lazar's canyon

It is one of the most inhospitable canyons in ‪‎Serbia‬. Its depth is between 300 and 500 m and it has 70 caves and pits. Legend has it that after the battle of Marica in 1371, the cavalry of Prince Lazar came to this area, and stayed in the canyon for some time, hence the name. It became one of the most important places of refuge.
