Itinerary description

This walking exercise is dedicated to Obrenovic dynasty.
Previous track is from village Rudnik to monastery Voljavca (place where first constitution of Serbin government was organized) as a result of First Serbian uprising.
This time my decision is to visit two places very closely connected with Second Serbian uprising and founder the House of Obrenovic (Milos I Obrenovic).
Milos was spent some time about two years in the small village Gornja Crnuca and his mother Visnja (known as grandmother Visnja) was buried in the monastery Vracevsnica.
Monastery and church was built by Radic Postupovic nobleman of Lazar Hrebeljanovic and his son Stefan Lazarevic after battle of Kosovo. Per legend Radic and his army was returned from battle whitout loosing any soldier.
Also inside of monastery was exhibition dedicated to Alexander I of Serbia and his wife Draga Masin. Both of them are killed by army officers who wants to return Karadjordjevic dynasty on throne.
