Studenica, a peaceful retreat steeped in Orthodox heritage

I have visited Studenica few years ago and I just cannot forget that visit. I still do not really know what it was, the monks, the church(es), the peace, the freedom, beautiful untouched nature, combination of them all...

I was literary recharged after that, mentaly and physicaly.

Indeed, Studenica is an all-male monestery. I recommend the visit to a neighbouring female monestery Gradac. Gradac is also a must.

I think the article can be improved. Pictures could also be better. Further, Serbian cousine is really good and knows a lot of specialties. Perhaps that would be better to illustrate than that cup of coffee?

What a wonderful article. I will be sure to visit this lovely monastery on my upcoming visit to Serbia.

I did a bus tour of churches and monasteries in Sept. 2005 and we visited Studenica Monastery. It is an all-male monastery and is kept very neat and clean and well preserved and cared for.
I attended the early morning church service (not sure if it was 6am or 6.30 but it was truly, like heaven on earth.
The chanting monks and the liturgy was divine and I plan to visit again, from Australia.
For me personally, it was the most memorable of all the monasteries.

I've been there last summer, this is a really charming place ! It's just not very easy to reach when you have no car. I took a bus in Novi Pazar thanks to the help of citizens from there, very surprised seeing a turist in there city, and for my going back to Novi Pazar, I walked about 2 hours. But I really don't regret, this monastery has to been seen, the frescoes are just incredible and the orthodox service is impressive. Go there !!

I like that cup of coffee

I visited Studenica about five years ago on a pilgrimage.It was beautiful, peaceful, and we were treated very nicely. One more thing...there was a monk there who was one of the most handsome looking men we had ever seen. To all of them, thank you for a wonderful visit.
