1Hiking and Cycling • Active Holiday in Serbia

Indulge in communion with nature and explore new landscapes. Move away from the tiny screen and let your eyes wander along the wide horizon, feasting upon the play of light as it scatters across the landscape. Treat yourself to fresh experiences and new challenges.

Follow your inner rhythm and take in as much of the nature and culture as you can, wondering in amazement how much of Serbia you have yet to explore. Relax, take your time, as you gaze into the blues and golds of the mediaeval frescoes. Faced the mysterious, fish-like statues of Lepenski Vir. Marvel at the rich, layered history of Serbia.

Meet the people. Spontaneous encounters on travels are the best way to experience life and traditional hospitality is equally fulfilling whether you are on the receiving or the giving end. Welcome!

Situated where vast plains meet forest-covered mountains, Serbia beckons you to discover it: from the wild wetland forests along the Danube to the mild plains as wide as the sea, from the breath-taking canyons to the mineral spas and springs, from gentle hills to wind-beaten peaks, from hectic urban cen-tres to the tranquility of remote mountain villages.

2 Hiking and Cycling • Active Holiday in Serbia

This international cycle route connects the Atlantic and the Black Sea and passes through Serbia along the Danube. At the border between Hungary, Croatia and Serbia, the wide Danube branches into a seemingly endless network of distributaries and canals. The flooded wetland forests of the Bačko Podunavlje Biosphere Reserve, officially designated as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, are home to a rich animal and plant life awaiting to be explored. The route continues through the vast Pannonian fields, along the left bank of the Danube, past the undulating vi-

EUROVELO 6neyards of Fruška Gora, to Novi Sad, designated as the European Capital of Culture in 2021. From one urban area, the route then leads to another – Belgrade, Serbia’s bustling capital. The last stretch of the route combines nature and history to make an in-delible impression: as you pass through the National Park at the Iron Gates Gorge, the largest and longest gorge in Europe, you may see the local landmarks – the Lepenski Vir Museum, Trajan’s tablet and the Golubac Fortress.

Eurovelo 13 is an international cycling route passing along the imaginary boundary between former socialist countries and Western Europe. Compared with other countries “behind the Iron Curtain”, Serbia, then part of Yugoslavia, was in a unique positi-on. As it passes through Serbia, the Eurovelo 13 route traverses different landscapes: from the Pannonian plans, through hilly regions and the breath-taking Iron Gates Gorge, with its many

stunning viewpoints, to the captivating mountains. This route links the country’s multicultural Pannonian north, the cities of Subotica and Kikinda – with their fascinating architecture and major festivals of theatre, the long-eared owl and earthenware – with the mysterious Eastern Serbia – the picturesque town of Knjaževac and the fiery Niš, the bustling and hospitable urban centre of the South.

Few cities in the world have witnessed the long passage of the millennia the way Belgrade has: from the prehistoric Vinča cultu-re to the Celtic Singidunum, from a border fortress of the Roman Empire to a Byzantine and then Hungarian city, from the Serbian mediaeval capital to a busy market town in the Ottoman Empire, from revolts and liberation to the great battles of modern times – Belgrade is all those things! Nestled at the confluence of the Sava and the Danube rivers, straddling the border between the East and the West, the Serbian capital is rich in historic layers, each hiding a myriad of incredible stories. Modern Belgrade en-tices visitors with a wealth of amenities: the mouth-watering

Srem, Banat and Bačka – the “three brave hearts” as they are known thanks to a traditional patriotic song, are the geographic regions that make up Vojvodina. Adorning the north of Bačka is Subotica, surrounded by fertile chernozem and sandstone, suita-ble for growing fruits and vine. This city is a melting pot of different cultures with a rich cultural heritage. Subotica is also recognisable for its Secession architecture. In Srem, overlooking the Danube and the Tisa, gazing into the wide horizon for thousands of ye-ars, lies Slankamen. It owes its name to the local mineral spring. Marking the farthest eastern point of Banat is Vojvodina’s highest

elevation, the Gudurica peak, looming above the city of Vršac. You can even take off and fly from the slopes of the Vršac Mountains, as there is a paragliding strip. No matter how far and how long you look across the fields, the vineyards and the forests, you can never take in all of the plains. For, nothing about these plains is “plain”: they are rich in colours and nuances, which are best reflected in the flavours of the fine wines and delicious dishes.

The deep silence of the woods, the rich silence of the monaste-ries, the silent fermentation of wine. You can hear all this and more on the Fruška Gora Mountain. This forest-covered island in the middle of Vojvodina, perched above the Danube, is where the serene tranquillity of nature and reclusive monastic life meets the fertileness and deliciousness of vineyards and orchards. Oak, hornbeam and linden forests are interspersed with gentle paths that open onto unexpected viewpoints, looking into the elusive horizon of the plainlands and the infinity beyond. More than 700 species of herbs are native to this mountain, renowned for the quality of its honey. Between the 15th and the 18th Centuries, as many as 16 Serbian Orthodox monasteries were built on the slo-

pes of Mt. Fruška Gora, becoming important centres of spiritual life and education. There are many supreme wineries in this regi-on, best known for their Bermet and Ausbruch dessert wines, a perfect match with various Gugelhupf cakes. Near the reclusive tranquillity of this National Park, there are several thriving urban areas – Novi Sad, Sremski Karlovci and Sremska Mitrovica – with a rich cultural offer.

With its undulating terrain and thick forests, the region of Valjevo is interspersed with plum orchards and raspberry farms. The crystal-clear waters of the gradac river meander through it like a backbone. The hills around the city of Valjevo are home to the monasteries of Pustinja, Ćelije and Lelić. The urban heart of the city of valjevo is its colourful old town area of Tečnjar, with traditional craft stores, pas-try shops and coffee houses. Landmarks no one should miss include the National Museum and the Modern Gallery, as well as Branko-vina, the home village of the great poet Desanka Maksimović, of

which she wrote with so much love. Brankovina also offers exam-ples of vernacular architecture – the so-called “sobrašice”, buildings used for gathering during feasts and popular assemblies. Apart from the “šljivovica” plum brandy, specialties of the region include “tobac-co” pork cracklings and “gibanica” cheese pie from the village of Mi-onica, as well as wild blueberries and mushrooms.

The Rajac is a mountainous area near the towns of Ljig and gornji Milanovac. As you walk around the area, you will have a great view of the surroundings in all directions, which you will find very soothing as it fills you with a sense of tranquil-lity. The Rajac is famous for its seemingly endless meadows, stretching all around like a vast green sea, as well as for its Ra-jac Scythe Festival, an international competition of mowers. Be sure to visit the neighbouring villages and have a break at the Koštunići Ecovillage. This mountain is also suited for ad-venture travel, as it allows visitors to engage in speleology in

the local caves and pits. Landmarks in the region of the Rajac include the towns of Takovo and Topola, which tell the his-tory of the royal dynasties of Karađorđević and Obrenović, the Banja Vrujci spa complex and the vraćevšnica and Bogovađa monasteries.

Visiting Mt. Tara is a memorable experience, but nothing can match the pleasure of returning to it frequently. Visitors to the Tara National Park are spoiled for choice between the differ-ent opportunities to rest and enjoy. The strong air will make you dizzy at first, but soon you will feel completely rejuvenated. More than 1200 different plant species grow here, including the Ser-bian spruce, a protected endemic species. The coniferous forests of the Tara National Park are among the most valuable and best-preserved forests in Europe! They are home to a large population of Europe’s largest mammal – the brown bear. After trekking through the fragrant forests and visiting the high mountain viewpoints, which will engrave indelible memories

on your mind, you can descend to the beautiful river Drina or to the lakes of Zaovine and Perućac. Try the local trout – grilled, smoked or in soup – and refresh yourself with some “klekovača” fruit brandy. In the immediate vicinity of the Tara, on the slopes of the Mokra gora mountain, are the šargan Eight heritage rail-way and the tourist resort of Drvengrad.

The mountain river Uvac flows from Mt. Zlatar to Mt. Zlatibor, ini-tially as a free-flowing river with a succession of spectacular me-anders and then through several lakes. The water takes on mag-nificent shapes in this region: in addition to the meanders, there are also the waterfalls in Sopotnica, the rapids on the river Lim, the narrow canyon of the river Mileševka and the calm surface of the Lake Zlatar. Situated where Mediterranean and mountainous influences meet, the sunny Zlatar has a record number of sun-shine days, so the reflections of its forests in the clear waters can be seen in all shades of green. The best view of this beauty cer-tainly belongs to the griffon vulture, recently joined also by the black vulture and the white scavenger vulture, who glide along the Zlatar skies on their mighty wings. If you are a natural thrill-

seeker, you can descend from the heights to the secretive under-ground world and visit the Ušac Cave and the Ice Cave! Near the canyon of the Uvac are also the towns of Nova Varoš, Priboj and Prijepolje. Be sure to visit the Museum of Prijepolje and the medi-aeval monastery of Mileševa, with its famous “White Angel” fres-co. You absolutely must taste the local buckwheat pie, the cheese of Zlatar and the mountain medicinal drink known as “vodnjika”.

Wedged between Mt. Kablar and Mt. Ovčar, the West Morava gorge features mild, forest-covered plateaus which hide many monasteries, with a view of the calm meanders of the river. The monasteries of the Ovčar-Kablar gorge have existed in har-mony with the landscape for centuries and are places of pilgrim-age. Hiking and cycling trails from the peaks of Mt. Ovčar and Mt. Kablar to Mt. Jelica pass through deep linden, hornbeam and ash woods and across ploughland, fields and orchards. The Ovčar Banja spa stands sentry at the entrance to this protected na-ture area. The valleys beneath Mt. Ovčar and Mt. Kablar and the

OVČAR-KABLARand Dragačevo

village of Guča are home to music festivals celebrating the mel-lifluous traditional flute and the temperamental trumpet. Spe-cialties of the region include traditional sour cabbage known as “wedding cabbage”, boiled in an earthen pot, and hot corn bread (“proja”) with kaymak from Čačak.

You could spend weeks on the Kopaonik Mountain and never run out of new things to do every day: the Kopaonik National Park and its surroundings offer an endless range of activities year-round. In the summer, you can take up horse-riding, paragliding or archery, see the rapids and canyon of the river Samokovka or the Jelovarnik waterfalls, pick herbs and wild blueberries... In the winter, Kopaonik becomes Serbia’s most visited ski resort. Its long hiking trails, which traverse meadows and cut through woods, lead to unusually named places: Nebeske stolice (Heav-enly Chairs), Oštro koplje (Sharp Spear), Suvo rudište (Dry Ore Shoot), Debela glava (Fat Head). The slopes of the mountain are

also the source of local dishes: preserved wild strawberries (“slat-ko”), blueberry juice, nettle scallops and kaymak from the city of Kraljevo, which is eaten with everything and on every occasion! The hot springs are home to the Jošanička Banja spa. Studeni-ca, a mediaeval monastery included on the UNEScO list of World Heritage Sites, is also near Mt. Kopaonik.

On the Radan Mountain, nature has created many awe-inspiring phenomena: an unusually large number of various hot springs, unique relief forms, a spot where water appears to run uphill... In fact, this mountain is home to Devil’s Town (Đavolja varoš): in a steep crevice, visitors are greeted by two hundred tall earth pil-lars. This natural phenomenon created by erosion features prom-inently in many folk legends. One of the most beautiful among them is the belief that all those who visit this spot should leave here the handkerchief they used to wipe their forehead, so they could leave all their worries behind. Many mineral waters spring from the depths of Mt. Radan: the Prolom Banja spa is famous for its drinking water, the Lukovska Banja spa has more than 30

hot springs, while water at the Sijarinska Banja spa shoots to the surface in a 12-metre high geyser! History buffs can visit Pločnik, a Neolithic site of the late Vinča culture, or the archaeological site from the Byzantine Empire - caričin grad (Empress’s Town). To sample the flavours of the Radan region, be sure to taste meats prepared under the traditional baking lid, brick oven bread, hon-ey from the village of Prekopčelica and wild pear brandy.

Mount Rtanj, Mount Suva planina and Mount Stara stand as towering guards above Eastern and Southern Serbia, privy to many a secret they have learned standing there since the ancient times. The natural diversity of Suva planina and Stara planina is Serbia’s true gem and these areas have also been identified as areas of inter-national importance for the protection of birds, insects and plants. Equally diverse are the traditional local delicacies: phyllo dough pie, the kačkavalj chees of Pirot and flattened flat sausages, broad-bean jelly, “belmuž”, a traditional shepherds’ dish, and dishes made from Cuban black pepper. Clean air and clean water are among the most treasured resources of this area and drinking the mountain water from the spring while on a hike is quite common. Those who treasure water can enjoy the modern Stara planina ski centre or

treat themselves to the healing power of water at the Sokobanja spa or the Niška banja spa.The urban centres – Niš, Knjaževac, Pirot, Sokobanja – offer visi-tors a glimpse of the region’s cultural heritage: the ancient sites of Mediana and Felix Romuliana, the traditional craft products like the Pirot carpets and double-yarn socks, modern music and films...

The Iron gates gorge is situated at the easternmost point of Ser-bia, at the border with Romania. From the Iron Gates, which mark the entry to the gorge, the stream of the Danube changes dramati-cally: from the slow and leisured pace at which it flows through Cen-tral Europe, the mighty Danube here undergoes a transformation and shows a new, equally awe-inspiring side, as it starts to mean-der through narrows. This exciting communion of water and rock is teaming with life. The rich plant life includes a host of relictual and protected species. The forest-covered hilly and mountainous strip is home to large predators, including the brown bear, the Balkan lynx, wolves, jackals and many bird species. The entry to the gorge is known as “Labudovo okno” – the largest wintering grounds for aquatic birds in Serbia and a favourite birdwatching destination.

The Iron Gates Gorge can also be experienced from the water, sailing down the mighty Danube, as well as from the steep banks and nu-merous viewpoints. The Lepenski vir Museum introduces us to the mysterious prehistoric civilisation that used to live here, while the mediaeval golubac Fortress perches atop of almost vertical cliffs as it continues to sternly guard the gates to the Iron Gates Gorge
