Sirogojno is a village in Serbia, located on Zlatibor. The village was first mentioned in the Turkish land register in 1476. In 1970s it became famous for its hand-made sweaters.

Open air museum, or ethno village, known as the "Old Village" Museum, covers nearly 15 hectares and contains authentic elements of ordinary life collected from all over the Zlatibor region from the 19th century. The ethno village displays a set of old traditional wooden houses, including a bakery, a dairy, and an inn, all in authentic form.

Accommodation is in lodging cabins, and its about 35€ per person (including breakfast and lunch).

Food prepared in the inn was Serbian ethno food: kacamak, prebranac, tursija, prsuta, cheese and kajmak made by local people.

So, it was a quiet, romantic weekend with a spectacular nature, and evenings by the fireplace. People working at the Museum were kind, pleasant and happy to make our stay most pleasant.
