About this experience

This whole excursion is about impossible beauty and adventures. There aren't many untouched places left in Europe where mighty ancient trees grow, relic and endemic plants thrive, lynxes roam, and pelicans nest. However, it's unlikely that we'll encounter them. But we will definitely see the fantastically beautiful Djerdap Gorge. And we will feel like the heroes of "The Lord of the Rings" in the medieval fortress of Golubac and at the colossal head of the Dacian king Decebalus towering over the Danube.

Even the road to Djerdap is full of adventures. And, of course, we will encounter plenty of stories, from archaeological tragedies to amusing modern incidents.

You will get to know a completely different Serbia - unexpected, mysterious, and enchanting. And most importantly, in terms of the number of impressions and the healing effect, this day will rival a splendid two-week vacation. We invite you to join us on this remarkable adventure!

Detailed itinerary

We will visit the settlement of ancient people from the late Neolithic period, 5700-6000 years ago. This site was excavated by Zorana Papic, a great Serbian anthropologist.

Stop 2

We will stop at the largest fortress in Serbia, which served as the capital of the state several times. During World War II, the fortress walls housed an ammunition depot, which was blown up by a Soviet spy integrated in the Balkans named Golubic. We will see all the significant places within the fortress, take a walk in the park, and capture some photos.

Another stronghold of sovereignty in Serbia is the Golubac Fortress. This fortress, built into the rock, dates back to the late Middle Ages and has preserved its charm. We will have lunch within the fortress walls, stroll through the inner garden in the rocks, and enjoy the views.

The modern archaeological museum of Lepenski Vir, of incredible beauty, will welcome us to its exhibitions and interior designs, showcasing how people lived 5000 years ago.

We will take some great photos on the bridge across the canyon, stop and take a walk down below the bridge, which has convenient infrastructure.
