goga4444 Says: 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.
goga4444 Says: Those stone figures , as you can see, are combination between human and fish ... they were worshiping some kind of river God.
goga4444 Says: ...stone plastic figures. They were standing in the middle of the houses , just besides the rectangular fireplaces , and they were made of river stones.

tayloretc Says: Getting to Lepenski Vir is straightforward – it's right off the main road – but there’s no public transportation to it. The bus between Golubac and Donji Milanovac runs right by the entrance several times a day, so you might be able to get the driver to stop, but it’s not...

As you can see in the picture, the prehistoric dwellings are protected by a wooden structure. Unfortunately this structure threatens to topple down on the locality because of its aged and worn out material.

25km from Majdanpek, at the spring of the Mali Pek River, you'll find 1 of the most beautiful caves in Serbia.
The cave was named after Rajko Vojvoda, an innkeeper by day and a robber by night. All the treasure he stole from the Turkish caravans is believed to be still hidden in this cave.
This river cave (the Rajko River runs through it), the longest in Serbia (2304m), was 1st explored by our great geographer Jovan Cvijic in 1894. It was open for the tourists on 12 September 1975.
If you want to visit this cave and be stunned by its wonderful cave ornaments, contact the reception of the Kasina Hotel in Majdanpek. The group must have at least 10 persons (50 dinars each)!

It’s funny that Lepenski Vir is listed as a location on VT, since it hasn’t been inhabited for 5 or 6000 years. What you see in the picture above is all that’s left. It’s truer to call the location......
