“The city of Jagodina declared Kočina hrast a natural asset, and it is known that we take great care of the tradition because only those who maintain the tradition preserve the future. That is why we decided to arrange this important historical place so that a large number of tourists who visit Jagodina every year they can visit Kočina hrast, enjoy the beautiful nature, relax next to the Morava, but also learn about the history of this region and the whole of Serbia. That is why we are building more than 500m2 of open and closed space for tourists from the country and abroad “.
