Tipova

We invite you to travel through the route traversed by the mythological poet Orpheus. They say this is the place where he spent the last days of his life. Here, at Tipova, be ready for a marvelous show where mother nature herself is acting. The beauty of the landscape will definitely impress you. At the same time, you will have the possibility to search through the hundreds of caves situated in the harsh rocks, to admire the untouched nature and listen to the fine tunes murmured by the waterfalls.
They even say that Jesus Christ has traveled around the place. Just imagine, this crystal air has been inhaled by him.
