About Brana
The symbolism of Brana is multifaceted. Above all, Brana represents a journey through generations of our family, from grandfather Brana to his great-granddaughter Brana.
Brana also has the mission to defend everything that is essentially important: family, friends, togetherness, life in nature, and harmony with nature.
And finally, our hamlet is reflected in two small ponds, each held by a dam.
Wooden forest cabins, earth houses, stilt houses, fresh air, and a clear lake shimmering with the bluish-green reflections of the forests and orchards that surround it bring back memories of bygone times, awaken the authentic spirit of Serbia, and give charm to the BRANA ECO VILLAGE, cared for by diligent hosts full of love for their homeland.
Eco Village
Step into our little eco paradise…
Welcome to the heart of untouched nature, where harmony and sustainability are a way of life. Discover a unique eco village, designed to provide the perfect getaway with a minimal ecological footprint. Our village is the ideal place for all who wish to spend their free time in complete synergy with nature.
Natural materials for an authentic experience
Every building in our village is constructed from high-quality natural materials. Wood and stone, carefully selected and crafted, not only ensure durability and comfort but also blend perfectly into the natural landscape, preserving the authenticity and rustic charm of our village. These materials not only contribute to the aesthetics but are also essential for the sustainability of our eco project.
Solar Energy and Energy Efficiency
Our commitment to sustainability is also reflected in the way the buildings are oriented and positioned. With strategic alignment towards the sun, each building maximizes the use of solar energy, significantly reducing the need for artificial heating and lighting. This not only lowers our energy demands but also allows you to enjoy a pleasant atmosphere throughout the day, regardless of the season.
Innovative Reuse and Composting
In our village, we place great emphasis on reducing waste through innovative reuse of materials. At the children’s playground, we have used old stoves, tree stumps, and beams, transforming them into creative and functional elements. All food leftovers are composted and used as fertilizer for our organic garden, while all the food we serve comes from the organic production of local households.
Eco-Friendly Attractions
Our bio pool is not just a place for swimming — it is an ecosystem that promotes health, sustainability, and love for nature. The water is purified naturally through bio-filters and carefully selected aquatic plants. These plants play a key role in maintaining water cleanliness, as they not only filter impurities but also help sustain a healthy ecosystem within the pool. Bio pools offer users a healthier and more aesthetically pleasing swimming experience without chemicals, while at the same time supporting biodiversity and reducing the ecological footprint through natural filtration methods.
Guests can also enjoy fish specialties from the natural farming of our lake, which are not only delicious but also of verified quality.
Sustainable Transport and Future Innovations
For guests who prefer electric vehicles, chargers are available, making sustainability easier even while traveling. We also plan to install solar panels, which will further enhance our energy efficiency and self-sufficiency.
Experience an eco paradise that preserves nature… We invite you to embrace not only the peace and tranquility of our eco village but also to become part of a community that actively contributes to protecting our planet. Book your stay and be among those who choose an environmentally conscious holiday.

The settlement, which developed on the valley slopes above two streams with a wavy appearance, also inspired the visionary Miloš Obrenović, who instructed the locals to plant pear trees. Thus, according to legend, the village got its name from the great pear orchard.
