Popovica - the most important information
Popovica is one of the peaks of Virgo and is located at 443 meters above sea level. In relation to Sokograd, it is located on the other side of the Moravica canyon. It is considered one of the most beautiful lookouts in Sokobanja and what adorns it and attracts many nature lovers is the unique view and perfectly clean air.
Characteristics of Popovica
The road to Popovica is a bit steep and requires considerable physical condition, but there is no doubt that it is worth every step! The view from the top extends to all four sides - one side to Sokobanja, the other to Rtanj and the villages below this mountain. The ancient fortress of Sokograd can be clearly seen from Popovica, and the view of the canyon of the river Moravica is no less enchanting. The wind always blows on Popovica and that is why there are wooden houses that can serve as shelter. At the very top, there is a large cross next to which visitors leave money, with a wish written on a piece of paper. It is believed that this place has magical power, and that, with firm faith, the imagined wish will come true. Walking through the meadows of Popovica, it is not unusual to come across the sight of a goatherd with his herd. And indeed, all the lush greenery that adorns this area certainly affects the best quality of domestic animal milk.
