Sumadija

Discover Serbia - SumadijaOnce this area was full of woods and that was the reason for its present name. Sumadija (Šumadija) is the heart of new Serbia both in geographic and historic sense. The first Serbian rising against the Turkish rule started in Orasac close to Arandjelovac and the second rising began in Takovo not far from Kragujevac. These were the reasons why king Petar chose Oplenac near Topola for a place to build a mausoleum for his dynasty - Karadjordjevic. At the farthest south, there is a gorge called, Ovcar- Kablarska. It is famous for its natural beauties and monasteries. Rural tourism is very developed, and joyful landscapes with forests and meadows simply lure tourists.
