Exciting bike ride in Eastern Serbia, by the Danube, on the edge of Djerdap National park!
Located in Braničevo District in Eastern Serbia, some 140 km from Belgrade, Golubac marks the entrance to the Djerdap National Park and guards the Iron Gates of the Danube river. The name itself means a “Dove City” and its exact beginnings are unknown, although there is evidence originating from the Roman and Byzantine periods. It changed many rulers over the centuries (Serbians, Bulgarians, Hungarians, Ottomans…), and is known as a place where famous Polish knight and nobleman Zawisza Czarny died in a battle against the Ottomans in 1428.
Our tour will start outside of the city of Golubac, riding on a bike track right next to the Danube, through the city and straight to the Golubac Fortress. After sightseeing tour at the fortress, we would be hiking (or biking depending on preference) to a nearby hill, which holds an abandoned quarry and offers a perfect sighting to the Golubac Fortress and the Danube river. From there we would continue cycling to the monastery Tumane from XIV century. Legend says Serbian hero Miloš Obilić built the monastery on the grounds where he mistakenly shot a monk during hunting. Monastery and nearby Saint Zuma chapel are placed in a serene nature environment which you’ll very much enjoy on the bike.
After these visits and before making it to our car we’ll have lunch (included in the price) at a restaurant nearby, so make sure to try out our local specialties! The whole tour is around 40 km, with some uphill and full of beautiful nature!
