Lisine Complex
Pomoravski okrug
Lisine Complex, located in the Pomoravski okrug of eastern Serbia, is renowned for the Veliki Buk waterfall, also known as Lisine. This waterfall, approximately 25 meters high, is formed on the limestone slopes of the Beljanica mountain and cascades over the Vrelu stream, a right tributary of the Resava River. The site includes a shallow pool at the base of the waterfall, surrounded by tufa blocks, characteristic of accumulation-type waterfalls formed by tufa deposits. Situated near the Resava Cave, the area is a protected natural monument recognized for its geomorphological and hydrological significance. The spring of the Vrelu stream and the waterfall together represent a scenic and scientifically important natural ensemble, protected by the Serbian government since 1995. The water system collects from the broad karst regions of Beljanica and connects hydrologically with ponor rivers from the Rečka and Busovata depressions. Once considered Serbia's highest waterfall, Veliki Buk holds cultural and educational value, attracting nature lovers and tourists interested in geological heritage and natural beauty.
