sirogojno

Museum under the open sky. It fits perfectly with the visit of Zlatibor, certainly worth a look as it once was traditionally a Serbian village.

The beautiful nature to the Sirogojno so we stopped every time. Ethno Village for each recommendation with taste. The village itself is a lovely little café where you can eat drink a traditional dish. The hospitality of the locals is particularly striking.

This open air museum shows the traditional way of life of the Serbian villagers of 100 years ago. Children would like this as there are several houses to visit. There are also some local people selling honey, jam, rakia and handcrafts. They will happily give you a taste of the various types of rakia. They enjoy watching your face as you try it for the first time. Whilst there, make sure you visit the excellent Knitting Museum. Even our female Serbian guide had not visited this museum until we asked to go. It is part of the village and even the men in our group found it interesting. The display showed how a group of village women started knitting in their own homes and creating wonderful designs that are now sold at a shop in Belgrade and internationally. The Serbian wool is rather rough, so they now import the wool from Iceland, as it is much smoother. There were letters from several US President's wives thanking them for the knitted garments they had been given. The curator of this interesting little museum is very keen to tell you how the knitting project started and how it has given financial independence to many local women. There is a shop selling some of these wonderful high fashion clothes. The jackets are particularly beautiful. You can also commission a particular design or color.

We lucked out & it was a nice day.. Through the mountains to this etheno village. Interesting. Had a beer after visiting. Very little English but it worked out fine On way back we stopped by a waterfall

This is a well-run, and not too busy, preserved village, which gives the traveller a good insight into Serbian rural life a century ago - and also indicates how much rural life has improved since then. There is a pleasant route (via Ljubis) through the hills from here to Studenica monastery, if you are working your way round the antiquities of western Serbia.

Building skills and interior facilitation, as well as the way of organizing business and family life of people in the hilly - mountainous areas of the Dinar region are presented in 55 buildings (of which 32 are in permanent museum exhibition) which are relocated from mt Zlatibor’s villages. It is a beautiful place, 25 km from the main tourist resort of the mountin Zlatibor, lovely surroundings, beautiful nature and great base for exploring the Zlatibor area. Old village Sirogojno is an open air museum and you will enjoy walking and playing around old traditional houses.

If you are coming to Zlatibor, you should definitely visit Sirogojno. It is an old traditional Serbian village and for sure you will enjoy a good day of walking hills and getting introduced to the 19 century ways of living in Serbia. This Old village is an open air museum and for sure your kids will enjoy walking and playing around old traditional houses. There are 3-4 old houses that are adjusted for staying in, so if you have one or two nights and you would like to enjoy peace, definitely you should plan to stay in Old village. But, you will need to book it in advance (www.sirogojno.org.rs, e-mail: staroselo@ptt.rs). There is also a small souvenir shop, museum of knitting (do not miss to look and to buy great knitting done by ladies from souranding villages). You will love those colorful wool jackets! You will also find traditional restaurant and if you come in the afternoon, do not miss home made coffee with nuts pie. You will enjoy it. All people working in the Old village are very friendly. It was a great discovery for us and we trully enjoyed visiting Sirogojno and meeting their inhabitants.

Countryside is really soothing and beautiful. Houses are authentic Serbian with the exhibitions inside that faithfully depict life in the village. In one of the houses is a traditional restaurant with fine food and service.

It is true I came there with my group in a pouring rain but in spite of that I did not feel that the village has a lot to offer. Just few houses are open for visiting, in some you can just peep from the door. They could do a better job.

This is very beautiful place which shows us how people in Serbia lived in XIX century. That is an open-air museum. You can try the traditional Serbian food out there, and it`s definitely very tasty.

This is how you will get an idea of how Serbian houses looked like in the past and the building evolved over the years. It is not far from Zlatibor and I would recommend it a site especially during summer and autumn months, as, in the winter is a bit difficult to walk around. Excellent place for breakfast. It also got small houses, Serbian style, for visitors to rent.

Beautiful and peaceful open-air museum. It is very interesting for the kids.The restaurant is beautiful with great food. The food is traditional Serbian so for guests with specific requirements is not intended.

Should be visited if you are near the Zlatibor. It's an open air museum with a old Serbian village. Ticket price is 200 RSD - 1.8EUR.

Sirogojno is a small village that I recommend you see if you stay more than few days on Zlatibor. It's about 30-40 minutes away by car from the main Zlatibor touristic center, depending on which way you take. There are few signposts, but at the times you might feel like you are lost in the woods and curvy roads, so GPS or the map is recommended. Nevertheless, the traveling through beautiful landscapes is really enjoyable, inviting you to just sit, stare and breathe - for hours.In the Sirogojno itself, main attraction is an open air museum, the village as it was in 19th century. In one of the houses, there's a sweet grandma, sitting and knitting. Once we entered the house, she stood up and started explaining things about houses and the way of life at the time (not sure, but probably in Serbian only). She was very kind and patient answering any questions we had (and my daughter had quite few).Within the museum, you can get a lodging and spend a night in one of houses. Of course, don't be afraid, the lodging houses are not 100% authentic - you will still be able to use goods of the modern times, like electricity and TV, if you wish. :) There's also Krcma ("The Tavern"), the place where you can freshen up by taking coffee, natural drinks or traditional snacks like pies or milk products. There's also a small market with traditional wool products and souvenirs.For the regular lunch you will want to visit one of two available restaurants. We chose the one in the modern part of village, "Moj Zavicaj". The food was great and prices are somewhat below average on Zlatibor. If you wish to spend a pleasant and relaxing day or at least an afternoon on the fresh air, Sirogojno would be my first recommendation.

Liked all. Very nice walk. Also nice food in local restaurant. Would not recommend on hot summer weather.
