Brus

Bruce is a town situated on the eastern slopes of Kopaonik, between the river Rasina and Grusevka. Known as an air spa, Bruce is located at the crossroad of Kopaonik, Krusevac, Aleksandrovac, Josanicka and Vrnjacka Banja.


Bruce was a witness of not so well known event in Serbian history when King Milan Obrenovic called all the kings and princes of the neighboring countries at that time and invited them to form a pact against the enemy. All this happened in the building of the today's Cultural Center (in the old part of the building).

Favorable geographical position and proximity of Kopaonik caused intensive development of tourism in the municipality of Bruce in the last years. Altitude, many thermo-mineral springs, plenty of woods and water sports facilities with swimming pool caused the development of mountain, sports, recreation, health, hunting and rural tourism.

Bruce Municipality has rich history which is marked by numerous cultural and historical monuments:

  • Lepenac monastery (from the XV centuary)
  • Remains of the Milentija monastery (from the XIV centuary)
  • Medieval town of Koznik
  • Church and Temple Metodje (from the III centuary)
  • Church of Sveto Preobrazenje in Brus (from 1836.)
