Bus from ALEKSINAC to ŠIBENIK

About the station ALEKSINAC

Aleksinac is a city in Serbia and the seat of the municipality in the Niš District. According to the 2022 census, it has about 14,590 inhabitants. Aleksinac is located 30 kilometers from Niš, to the north, on the highway to Belgrade, but it is less well known that it is at the intersection of 2 other main roads, one of which leads from northeastern Serbia and Sokobanja via Aleksinac to Toplica; the second road leads from Eastern Serbia via Aleksinac, and further towards Kruševac and Western Serbia.

Starting from the 16th century, we have data on Aleksinac and most of the surrounding settlements. The oldest data is found in the Kruševac Sandžak Defter, number 55, written in 1516. From it we conclude that almost all current settlements in that territory, as well as Aleksinac itself, are of medieval origin.

In the past, the development of the Aleksinac region was greatly influenced by the fact that the Constantinople Road passed through it, from which the road to Sokobanja and Knjaževac branched off. The Constantinople Road was used to transport goods from Turkey to Central Europe, and for this reason, Prince Miloš thoroughly repaired and maintained it.

Today, agricultural land occupies as much as 64% of the city's territory, and about 60% of households are engaged in agricultural production. With this percentage, the Aleksinac region is considered a developed agricultural region. The majority of industrial enterprises have been closed due to the deep financial crisis. Some enterprises have been privatized, while others are awaiting reconstruction. Industry is concentrated in the city itself and in the Aleksinac Mine.

The natural beauty of Aleksinac is reflected in the extraordinary diversity of landscapes where gentle valleys, dense forests, vast pastures and high rocky peaks alternate, so that the area of this municipality has all the conditions for the development of rural tourism.

The city has a Center for Culture and Arts, an amateur theater, a Music School, a Homeland Museum, and a well-equipped public library. Aleksinac has always been a hospitable and open city. With the Brđanka Park, where there is a monument to Russian volunteers who died in the war of 1876, and the Russian Church in the village of Gornji Adrovac, built on the site of the death of Colonel Rajevski, a Russian volunteer who died fighting against the Turks on August 20, 1876, then with Lake Bovan, with two medieval monasteries, in Lipovac and in the village of Praskovče, Aleksinac is a significant tourist destination in this part of Serbia. Rural tourism is cultivated in the villages of Radevac, Lipovac, and Gornji Adrovac, where accommodation facilities have been built and adapted to provide tourists with complete comfort. In these villages, tourists can learn about traditional and almost forgotten professions and crafts, preparing traditional dishes... According to the data of the Tourism and Sports Organization of the Municipality of Aleksinac, tourists visiting the town show the greatest interest in visiting historical monuments, churches and monasteries, the so-called religious tourism.
