Reviews

Our tour starts from your accommodation, and we will head toward Eastern Serbia.

 

Two hours of the ride we’ll spend enjoying the beautiful landscapes and listening to interesting stories about this part of the country.

 

GOLUBAC FORTRESS: Our first stop is the Golubac fortress, a defensive complex used to defend many kingdoms through the centuries. Golubac is the perfect fairy-tale castle, wonderfully set off by its location in the rugged landscape at the head of Đerdap Gorge. There are nine towers in all, each between 20 and 25m high, combined with the interesting position of the fortress leaning over the Danube; they make Golubac undoubtedly one of the most beautiful castles along the 2850km Danube odyssey from source to the Black Sea.

 

We will proceed with the adventure towards the widest flow Danube river has – the famous Iron Gate. Its sheer size left no one untouched as the Danube suddenly gives the impression of the sea.

 

LEPENSKI VIR MUSEUM: After around 30 minutes of driving, we will reach our next stop – Lepenski Vir. The early settlement of Lepenski Vir was first uncovered in 1965. The works brought to light sacred architecture and monumental sculptures from one of the oldest Danube cultures, dating back to 7,000-6,000 BC, also marking the beginning of civilization in Europe. Here we will see more than 100 items (utensils, tools, and instruments, jewelry, altars, sculptures, Neolithic ceramics) illustrating the Mesolithic and Neolithic periods in Lepenski Vir. The setting also involves the reconstruction of burial methods in Lepenski Vir and a holographic reconstruction of houses in Lepenski Vir.

 

After the museum, we will stop in a unique, authentic restaurant with a fantastic view overlooking the Danube to enjoy a traditional lunch made of specialties of the cuisine of Eastern Serbia (not included).

 

We believe you will have a completely different aspect as we return to Belgrade in the evening hours.
