- Golubac Fortress - The first landmark on our itinerary is the Golubac Fortress, an ancient stronghold that has protected numerous empires over the ages. Nestled in the dramatic landscape at the entrance of the Äerdap Gorge, Golubac resembles a castle straight out of a storybook. It boasts nine towers, each rising 20 to 25 meters high, and its commanding position over the Danube makes it one of the most picturesque fortresses along the river’s 2,850-kilometer journey from its source to the Black Sea.
- Danube River - Continuing our exploration, we head to the Danube’s broadest point â the renowned Iron Gate. The vastness of the river here is awe-inspiring, resembling an inland sea.
- Lepenski vir - A short 30-minute drive later, we arrive at Lepenski Vir. Discovered in 1965, this ancient site revealed a prehistoric settlement with sacred structures and imposing sculptures from one of the earliest Danube civilizations, dating back to 7000-6000 BC. This marks the dawn of European civilization. Our visit includes over 100 artifacts such as household items, tools, jewelry, altars, sculptures, and Neolithic pottery that depict life during the Mesolithic and Neolithic eras at Lepenski Vir. The exhibit also features reconstructions of burial practices and holographic recreations of the settlement’s dwellings.
- Kapetan Misin breg - Post-museum, we’ll pause at a distinctive, traditional restaurant that offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the Danube. Here, you can indulge in a lunch featuring the regional delicacies of Eastern Serbia (cost not included).
We trust that your perspective will be enriched as we make our way back to Belgrade in the evening.
