Description

Begin your adventure with a pickup from the airport and a drive to your first accommodation at an altitude of almost 1,100 meters. Head straight to the Povlen Mountains, an eastern part of the Dinaric Alps. The drive to the village of Taor – a settlement that has existed since the Bronze Age – takes about 2 ½ hours and upon arrival a warm dinner awaits you. Afterwards there is plenty of time to familiarize yourself with the surroundings and your four-legged companions. Day 1: Taor - Divčibare After breakfast, drive to Divčibare, a famous ski area. Maljen belongs to the Ore Mountains and belongs to the Dinaric mountain system in northwest Serbia. It is characterized by a specific relief that allows favorable climatic properties, as well as a diverse and specific flora and fauna. Day 2: Divčibare - Rajac Today the road leads us through the Serbian steppe, which is reminiscent of Mongolia. The power of this steppe leaves no one indifferent and the 360 degree view gives us a feeling of space and freedom of movement. Day 3: Rajac- Kostunici The ethno-village Kostunici is located in one of the most beautiful parts of Serbia, on the southern slope of the Suvobor mountain. There are two stories about how the village got its name and no one knows which is correct, probably because one talks about nature, the other about people. And we say – nature is cared for and loved here. Above Kostunici lies Ravna Gora, a place of famous historical events that has been preserved in its original beauty. The surveys of Vidikovac and Babina Glava, Mokra pećina and other unspoiled nature gifts were given by God for the budget traveler to the traditional Serbia who meet and often return to these moments. There is a swimming lake in the complex. The lake is surrounded by the Cer forest and is sunny on all sides. It was created by dividing the Čemernica river with a concrete dam just 300 m below the settlement with sculptures. Day 4: Kostunici-Gostoljublje Today we are slowly leaving the Serbian steppe and returning to the Dinaric Alps. This transition from the mountain steppe to the Dinaric Alps is very impressive and shows us how much nature has changed in this area. Day 5: Gostoljublje -Taor Slowly we are returning to the paths of the ancient Romans who took Dubrovnik over the Povlen mountain connected with the Danube. Day 6: Povlen Mountain After breakfast you will start at an altitude of around 1100m above-sea-level and will explore Povlen Mountain which is approximately 1400m tall. Since 2023, Povlen has been a nature reserve with over 170 species of birds, various wild animals and mountain springs. From this magical mountain you will have a spectacular panoramic view of the whole of Serbia and can enjoy the peace and quiet there. In the Middle Ages, Povlen was a very important road through which merchants transported their goods on horses and donkeys. After lunch you descend into the villages, cross the Skrapez river and visit its source middle in the forest.
