Lepenski Vir Things to Do

The oldest stone monumental sculptures that represent the human head life-size and larger can be found in the Lepenski Vir museum. They are trully impressive and look modern. Who can tell they're more than 8000 years old?
The sculptures were modelled from large boulders of yellow sandstone found in the surrounding mountains and embedded in the house foundations, usually behind the hearths.

Take a look at the 3 ethno houses, valuable examples of folk architecture placed on a plateau beside the parking lot.

Archeologists think that this was a settled and well-established fishing, hunting and probably gathering community. It flourished at Lepenski Vir between 8000 and 6000 B.C.

This is what is left of the prehistoric town Lepenski Vir. The left overs are from 6 500 to 4 500 BC... over 8 000 years before this day .

it is no wonder they adored fish-human God , since the town is on the Dunav river bank. 70% of their food was fish. So their lives mostly depended on the river.

Those stone figures , as you can see, are combination between human and fish ... they were worshiping some kind of river God.

...stone plastic figures. They were standing in the middle of the houses , just besides the rectangular fireplaces , and they were made of river stones.
