Dragons appear as myths and legends around the world ... there is no evidence to meet them, and independently the legends about dragons are up to 5 millennia old .....

There are many stories and fairy tales about dragons in our country as well .... I almost found out about one .... A dragon that lived in the Homolje mountains and came to a water source that was located at the foot of the mountains. The Zdrelo spa is now built on that place.

A fountain and a metal plate were built in memory of that legend, on which it is written "Legend says that dragons once landed on the water in this place. A deaf-mute girl often drank them. And asked them to leave as soon as possible."

Of all the mythical creatures, my favorite is the dragon ... And I have read many books in which they are mentioned, and in most cases they are presented as wise creatures who can teach a lot to man ....

With the Slavs, dragons always help and are magical creatures. There are four types of dragon,aždaja, ala and lamija.

Now I will quote a little about Serbian dragons ...

It is not known exactly when the stories about the dragon began to appear in Serbian mythology. What there is certainly evidence for is the famous Knights of the Dragon, which dates from the 15th century, more precisely in 1408. "Societas Draconistrarum" is the Knights of the Dragon. founded in 1408, and among the founders was the Serbian despot Stefan Lazarević, the son of Prince Lazar Hrebeljanović. But we must not forget Nemanjić when we talk about the knightly orders and the symbolism that appeared at that time. "

The Serbian dragon is a mythical creature that has two or four legs, a body covered with scales and has wings and flies. They represented something good. There are stories that a symbol of a dragon was found on some of the coats of arms of Nemanjić.
The Dragon was believed to be a perfect being, a combination of a bird and a snake ... of heaven and earth.

The aged alas believed that the carp, when it grows old and reaches a certain age, comes out of the water ... It soars into the sky and becomes a dragon.
Serbian dragons are friends of people, they always help in trouble, and they are on the side of justice and good. And they always arrive on time to save an innocent man.
Also, women could have children with dragons ... from that relationship they gave birth to heroes and heroines ...

I hope you enjoyed parts of the legends and stories about dragons ....
In the spa, he tries to preserve the gift of a part of the legend about dragons.

The Žrdelo spa building is made in the shape of a medieval castle ... And the dragon guards the entrance to the spa ... (I'm just kidding)

I managed to enter and take a look at the spa yard and saw the pool, which I would have jumped in for sure if we hadn't come for a very short time ...

The friendship with the dragons is over ... I can go on ...
