Manastir Svetog Luke ,BošnjanePhoto: BrankaVV, CC BY-SA, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Manastir_Svetog_Luke_u_Bošnjanima_kod_Varvarina.jpg#/media/File:Manastir_Svetog_Luke_u_Bošnjanima_kod_Varvarina.jpg
The route passes by Varvarin Selo, Bošnjane, Jasika, and Lazarica before arriving at Kruševac.
Beyond the village of Jasika, the trail approaches Kruševac, the medieval capital established by Prince Lazar in the fourteenth century. Here, in the years before the Battle of Kosovo, the Serbian state concentrated its political and military power while the Ottoman advance into the Balkans gathered momentum.
The route passes Lazarica Church, founded by Prince Lazar around 1375 as part of his fortified capital. The stage ends in Kruševac, one of the most important medieval centres in Serbian history and an important stop along the historic route south toward Niš and Constantinople.
Author’s recommendation
Kruševac — the medieval seat of Prince Lazar — the ruins of his 14th‑century stronghold overlook the old town.
Other points of interest are:
Cara Lazarica, the Morava‑style church built by Prince Lazar, noted for its stone decoration and compact proportions.
The National Museum Kruševac, presenting archaeological finds and medieval material from the Moravian State.
Simić’s House, a preserved 19th‑century town residence showing traditional urban architecture.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.

Roadbook
Beyond the river lies Kruševac, the fortified capital founded in 1371 by Prince Lazar, who established the Moravian State and transformed the town into a political and military centre. It was here that the Serbian army gathered before marching to the Battle of Kosovo in 1389, where Lazar led a Christian coalition against the advancing Ottomans under Sultan Murad I. The battle ended without a decisive victor, leaving both sides devastated, yet it became one of the defining moments of medieval Balkan history.
