ADVENTURE AT WILD NATURE

LAZAREV CANYON IS AN EXOTIC WILDERNESS
Jungle among the rocks
Just like the wild nature of Venezuela or the Amazon
Lazarus Canyon is located about 4 kilometers from the village of Zlot (about 12 kilometers from Bor and 85 kilometers from Majdanpek). It is the deepest and longest dry canyon in eastern Serbia.
In early spring (March, April or May), due to the melting of the snow, it can happen that the ice-cold river flows through the entire Lazarus Canyon, and then the passage is extremely difficult, but not impossible.
Due to the inaccessible rocky cliffs, it has not been fully explored. The canyon is known for its numerous caves and pits.
It is about 9 kilometers long and the cliffs are 300 to 400 meters high. The canyon was created by the action of three rivers (now sinkholes): Mikulj, De Mizlok and Vey. The cliffs of the canyon are vertical and flat, cut into the limestone massif of South Kucaj. At the narrowest part, the width of the canyon is less than 7 meters. The Malinik mountain (1,087 meters) is in the immediate vicinity of the Lazarus Canyon.
