Bešnjaja and Voljevica canyon

• Hiking
• One-day
• Autumn 2025

In the heart of Šumadija, just 17 kilometers from Kragujevac, rises Mount Bešnjaja—a green oasis known for its lush beech forests, thermal springs, and clean air, which is why it was long ago declared an air spa. The highest peak of the mountain, Lisin laz (613 m), offers views of the gentle hills of Šumadija and the surrounding villages.

Our circular trail starts from the village of Bukorovac, through which the Osaonica River flows, and leads us along forest paths, across meadows and grassy hills. A special gem of this area is the canyon of the Voljevica River, hidden among beeches and rocks, which gives this tour a true touch of adventure, but also the peace of nature.

Bešnjaja is ideal for an autumn getaway and an escape from the city crowds—a place where the rustling of leaves and the babbling of streams turn into true Šumadija zen.
