One adventurous experience in the cradle of Macedonia - Krusevo, while visiting the XV Century Zrze Monastery and the largest private library on the Balkans in the revolutionary village Babino

In one of the nicest natural habitats of Macedonia we shall discover and enjoy the highest town of the Balkans Krusevo with all it's historical and cultural aspects.
Special not only because of the huge importance for the history of the Macedonian people and the Krusevo republic but also for it's special architecture, beautiful traditional dishes, the warm and mild people and the many landscaping views. The Makedonium monument and Meckin Kamen will be the cherry on the cake.
We shall also visit the museum of the biggest Balkan Pop Rock star, Tose Proeski, who passed away in a car accident very young.
On the way to Krusevo we shall visit the Monastery Zrze, built on an early Christian basilica from the V-VI century, and admire the life style of the Monks, whose presence is dating here from the V century. The caves underneath the monastery are also unique, where the people hid themselves to dedicate their lives to God and pray.
The village Banino is mentioned in the Ottoman census books from 1467. In 1882, the first books were brought to Babino in the old house of Stevo Stepanovski's great-grandfather. He was a Turkish soldier to whom, due to lack of money from the state treasury, the Turks paid with books. He started buying books from his comrades and made a library fund.
The library fund consists of an incredible 25,000 titles. It contains rare editions and unique works written in Persian, Old Turkish, Old Slavic and Arabic languages. The oldest edition is the Arabic Dictionary from 1307.
