Tumane Monastery

Another in a series of shrines of the Serbian Orthodox Church, which houses the relics of Saint Zosim and Saint Jacob, known for many miracles. Around the monastery there is a beautiful beech forest through which mountain streams cross, while at the foot you can visit a mini zoo where there are different species of birds and mammals 😍

Visiting Tumane Monastery was an absolute delight! This hidden gem tucked away in the midst of nature is a must-visit for anyone seeking tranquility and natural beauty.

The monastery itself exudes a sense of calm and spirituality, making it a wonderful place to explore and find inner peace. Surrounded by lush greenery and stunning landscapes, Tumane Monastery offers a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

One of the highlights of this visit was the natural spring on the premises, providing crystal-clear, refreshing water. Sipping from this spring felt like a rejuvenating experience, connecting us with the pure essence of nature.

If you're looking for a peaceful retreat and a chance to immerse yourself in the beauty of the outdoors, Tumane Monastery is the perfect destination. It's an enchanting place that leaves you feeling refreshed and inspired. Highly recommended!

Beautiful monastery, really popular in recent times so it could get a bit crowded. The facilities are really well kept and improvements are being made constantly. The parking isn't an problem because of the new parking lot with a lot of spaces. There is accomodations available as well and a new guesthouse is under construction. I highly recommend visiting this monastery it is a great place!

Peaceful and calming environment ✝ with all positive energies

Sadly, this beautiful place is being turned into a profit machine. It's all they care about. And the prices in the souvenir shop are insane.

Very nice place, imposant monestary, very nice surrounding nature and landscapes... There is some animals around nurtured by monks... Monestary store is offering lots of articles as well as food and drinks home made inside premises... Recommended... MM

Tumane Monastery is in Eastern Serbia near the Golubac Fortress. This holy place is for all faithfull people, prayers, and pilgrims. Full-day stay in an enchanting environment, a mini-zoo, a small restaurant, and a pleasant walk in the forest.

Great place to visit. Peace, calm, clean. Enjoy the local guides. Big parking available. Go for a short walk through the forest and drink clean cold water from the well. Legend says it heals. There is a small monastery zoo, water mill, small restaurant.

Very peaceful and beautiful place, full of positive energy. I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to visit this holy place

This is one of the most modernized monasteries in this region, in a positive way. They have made a great surrounding for the visitors and streamlined access, so more people can access without creating crowds, whenever possible. Their personnel is very friendly and they also have a small zoo included.

Amazing place to visit in both ways as Orthodox Christian and as tourist. Beautiful nature, people who are there as visitor and as employees inside the Monastery as well in surround objects.

Crowded, costly, but after the few years of my inital visit, the complex is transformed drastically, and all is looking much better. However, it was wonderful experience, and everyone should visit it, if in position to.

There is a mini zoo, and a path up the hill, where saint Zosim lived in a cave, which is now available for visit, and it is like little church with altar. Don't forget to bring an empty bottle up there to fill it with the fresh water. You have no bless to take a picture up there, but I was not informed about that.

We came to these miraculous place to pray and give respect to the Saints in the late afternoon, past 4pm on Wednesday. We avoided the usual crowds and had time to pray and have a prayer by the priest only for us and few other people. Souvenirs are lovely and for a believer a true comfort. Saint Zosim and Saint Jakob of Tuman pray for us all.

Very nice, place. Spiritual journey. Place where ortodox goes to pray for miracles. And where miracles come true. Monastery of Saints Jakov & Zosim Tumanski.

Tranquility at the highest level. Monarchs are friendly and the place looks beautiful.

Nema potrebe reci nista dodjite i sami se ocarajte lepotom svega./No need to say anything come and see the beauty of it on your own.

The Tuman Monastery (Serbian: Манастир Туман, romanized: Manastir Tuman) is a 14th-century Orthodox monastery in eastern Serbia, in the municipality of Golubac. It belongs to the Serbian Orthodox Eparchy of Braničevo. It is also referred to as the Tumane Monastery.

The church is dedicated to the Saint Archangel Gabriel. As of 2018, the monastery has six monks and one nun, which makes it the largest one in the Braničevo District. Because of the several historical healers who dwelled in the monastery, Tuman has been called "Ostrog of the Đerdap".
The monastery is situated in the valley of the river of Tumanska reka, 12 km (7.5 mi) south-east of Golubac. It is located in the village of Snegotin, though it is outside of the village itself, in the forested, secluded depression area of the north-west section of the Severni Kučaj mountain. South of the monastery rises the 591-metre-high (1,939 ft) peak of Crni Vrh Tumanski ("Black Peak of Tuman"). The forests which encircle the monastery are estimated to be over a century old as of 2018.Almost immediately after the monastery was completed, a group of the Sinait monks (meaning they originated from the Mount Sinai) settled in the caves in the vicinity. A large number of Sinait monks from the Mount Athos migrated to Serbia in the mid-14th century, fleeing the Ottoman invasion. They all settled in the caves throughout Serbia, due to their hermit lifestyle. Zosimus Sinait, later named The Venerable Zosimus of Tuman, headed the group which settled around the monastery. He was known for the extreme fasting and praying in his poustinia-rocky cave until his death. Zosimus' remains are today the central relic of the monastery. He is also known as Sinait the Miracle Worker and his day is observed on 21 August.

One of the most beautiful monasteries in Serbia with stunning natural surrounding and most warm people.
Don't miss it out!

A beautiful Orthodox monastery near Golubac, founded in the 14th century by Milos Obilic. They say that Milos Obilic accidentally hit Zosim Sinajit, a hermit who lived there in a cave ... and when he took him to the vidar, he told TU MANI which meant that there was NO CURE. That is how Obilic raised the endowment in which the relics of the saint lie. Prayers are read, I attended one myself. There is a lot of parking space, surrounded by forest, watermill, swans, hives ... you can buy homemade honey, as well as some brandy and homemade wine, a lot of souvenirs.

Tuman Monastery is one of many in Serbia. What makes is unique is a reputation as a place of miracles. Since last miracle happened hundreds of devotees are each requesting to be blessed. Combine a visit to Tuman Monastery with a short drive to Golubac Fortress and you will enjoy a beautiful day.
