Being in the thick beech 

and oak forest, breathing 

the fresh air deeply, feeling 

the benefits of the Djerdap 

climate, being enchanted by 

the view that stretches from the 

rocky peaks, listening to the silence 

of primeval and pristine 

nature of the Danube waves’ 

force – the privilege you have 

at Djerdap, a place which will 

not leave you indifferent. Here 

at Djerdap, you cannot help but 

feel awe before the forces of 

nature at the point where the 

Danube River carved its deepest 

canyon, and Djerdap Kazani, due 

to their sharp underwater rocks, 

prior to the formation of Accumulation 

Lake was a nightmare 

for the captains on the Danube. 

Life had existed since the time 

immemorial on the coast of one 

of Europe’s largest rivers and the 

ancient cultures that had been 

here before the Romans and it 

had left the evidence of their existence. 

Numerous legends and 

incredible stories appeared out 

of its millennium continuance 

and during the summer twilight, 

in the distance, you might see Jason 

and the Argonauts in search 

of the Golden Fleece. Or the legionnaires 

of Emperor Tiberius 

and Trajan, carving the stone 

path in the cliffs above the river 

so that the slaves could drag the 

galleys, perhaps even ancient 

Lepenci sculpting their fish-like 

deities in pebbles. Wherever 

you look, there are seen and unseen 

traces of almost all ages in 

Djerdap - from pre-history to the 

present time. 

Although the Danube put its 

deepest stamp into the nature of 

Djerdap National Park by running 

throughout its length, representing 

the natural border between 

Serbia and Romania, Djerdap National 

Park is much more than the 

recognizable gorge. Thick forests 

that preserve diverse wildlife in 

itself, numerous nature reserves, 

a large number of mountaintops, 

countless streams and rivers and 

a significant number of caves give 

a special charm and mystique to 

the entire region. 

No matter how many times 

you were at Djerdap, with each 

next visit you will discover something 

new, hitherto unseen. And 

as many times as you arrive to 

Djerdap National Park, it will 

still be a meeting with preserved 

forests, clear streams, a powerful 

and secretive Danube, reserves 

and natural monuments, cultural 

heritage, traditional values and 

genuine hospitality of the local 

inhabitants. With this Djerdap 

National Park Tourist Guide, we 

wish to awake your curiosity so 

you could discover a place to rest, 

recreate and have an unforgettable 

adventure. 

Therefore, welcome to Djerdap!

NP DJERDAP

In the Celtic language, Danube 

means a river, water. Legends 

say that the third part of the 

Danube, called Ishtar after the water 

deity, the emperor of people, 

runs form Achilles’ spring. The 

father of history, Herodotus, was 

sailing along the Danube which 

was called Istros at the time. Historians 

and poets wrote that Jason 

and the Argonauts were sailing 

along this river, too, searching 

for the Golden Fleece. However, 

no one recorded when the first 

wave of the Pannonian Sea started 

deepening the massives between 

the Balkans and the Carpathians, 

opening the Iron Gate and 

thus creating the most secretive 

place on the Danube, Djerdap today. 

Persians named this miracle 

of nature, which has captivated 

throughout the millennia, Girdap 

or whirlpool and Roman soldiers 

and slaves, by an order of the emperor 

Trajan, cut the road into the 

stones of Djerdap which was strategically 

and economically important 

to the Roman Empire. Tabula 

Traiana and Trajan’s bridge remain 

to testify through centuries 

about the great accomplishments 

of Romans. Both visible and invisible 

signs of centennial harmony 

and struggle between the man and 

the nature from the beginning 

of the world to this day are present 

in Djerdap. Hunter-gatherer 

community, followed by the first 

farmers and herders, left behind 

a monumental sculpture of fishlike 

deities at Lepenski Vir. Very 

favourable conditions for life were 

the reasons for the continuing 

presence of man, as it is testified 

by, apart from Lepenski Vir, many 

archaeological findings and cultural 

and historical monuments 

and sites, such as Diana, Golubac 

town, the remains of the Roman 

limes, and various castles and preserved 

examples of Slavic architecture. 

Unique natural and cultural 

heritage of the 63,608 acres 

along hundred kilometres of the 

Danube were put under the state 

protection with the establishment 

of Djerdap National Park in 1974. 

It has it been confirmed many 

times that the encounter with the 

Iron Gate and intact nature of 

Djerdap National Park, sumptuously 

rich in its remarkable flora 

and fauna specimens, strengthens 

the mind, while exploration of the 

largest archaeological museum in 

nature in Europe rejuvenates the 

spirit. Djerdap is also the amazing 

gorge, an incredible view from 

steep cliffs high up to 800 m above 

the Danube, three large river valleys 

and over a thousand caves 

and corries located at a distance 

of about 150 km. Here at Djerdap, 

the Danube is the deepest, 90 m, 

the narrowest, 140 m, but the widest 

as well, nearly 7 km, near Golubac. 

Djerdap keeps many secrets, 

wonders of nature and values; it is 

a paradise for adventurers, nature 

lovers, fishermen and hunters. In 

the Danube depths great examples 

of perch and catfish are hidden, 

in the thick forests game such as 

NP DJERDAP 

13

deer, roe deer, boar, and hare and 

in inaccessible heights of clear sky 

– eagles and falcons. Djerdap NP is 

the largest habitat of lynx in Serbia, 

which is very rare in Europe; 

about 1100 plant species can be 

found here, and the ones whose 

abundance in Europe significantly 

decreased are especially important: 

the Common Hazel, the European 

nettle tree, walnut, lilac, the 

Downy Oak, Mouse Thorn, Rustyback, 

Eurasian smoke tree, Holly. 

Memories from Djerdap stay long 

in your memory. These moments 

are ‘enhanced’ by the unique traditional 

specialties of this area, 

served in the well-preserved natural 

atmosphere or unusual warmth 

of a rustic rural household. This 

gives you a reason more to come 

for your Djerdap adventure. 

The History of Djerdap 

Nowhere is the nature and 

cultural heritage so uniquely intertwined 

as it is here in Djerdap 

gorge. The Danube has always bestowed 

life upon the inhabitants of 

its shores. You can feel the breath 

of history in Djerdap National 

Park while walking, learning how 

the people have survived for thousands 

of years at this border of historical 

winds. Djerdap is a sort of a 

time machine, because it takes you 

to the eight-millennium-old Lepenski 

Vir, the settlement of prehistoric 

fishermen representing the 

centre of one of the most complex 

cultures from pre-history. The Romans 

bridged the Danube, cut the 

road through Djerdap gorge, and 

Tabula Traiana and Diana palace 

remained both trace and the witnesses 

of the power and wealth of 

the ancient Roman Empire. The 

legend of the beautiful girl Golubana 

still lives in the greatest Šeširkula 

of Golubac fortress, whose 

towers and walls are the everlasting 

evidence of architectural skill 

and knowledge of Serbian medieval 

lords and builders. 

As a trace of the past times, 

40 registered immovable cultural 

properties and four exceptionally 

significant cultural monuments 

– Golubac fortress, Lepenski Vir, 

Tabula Traiana and Diana remain. 

Sailing on the Danube 

FROM ARGONAUTS TO THE DJERDAP SEA 

The man has always turned to 

rivers, lakes and seas, for food and 

survival. Having carved tree trunks, 

he got the first boat or plough land, 

and perfected it later, using it for 

fishing, transportation of food, 

firewood and other necessities. 

The Phoenicians were the first 

to appear on the Danube in the 

distant past, bringing the goods 

from the East in their vessels. According 

to the legend of the Argonauts’ 

quest, sailing on the Danube 

existed seven thousand years ago. 

Argonauts, in search of the Golden 

Fleece, sailed into the river Istar, 

as Ptolemy marked the river Danube 

in the maps. Five thousand 

years ago the Greeks came to the 

14 NP DJERDAP

Istros, another name for the Danube, 

where they had their colonies, 

in the lower Danube, on the 

coast and on the Black sea. This is 

when the history of the Danube 

sailing begins. 

Two millennia ago, the Romans 

marked the Danube as Danubius, 

and this name, at first used for the 

upper Danube, was later extended 

to the whole Danube. The first Roman 

river boats were called ‘Trireme’, 

and later on larger military 

galleys were called ‘Galions’. Even 

the Emperors Tiberius and Trajan 

realized the difficulties of sailing 

through Djerdap, due to reefs 

and rocks, giving it the name Iron 

Gate (Port de Fer). Along with the 

road being cut through Djerdap, 

they did the first breaking up of 

the rocks. The Romans, for defence, 

built castrums on: Lederata, 

Pinkum, Kupae, Novae, Taliata, 

Dierna, Cerna, Canes, and Egeta. 

The Slavic tribes Antes, Nego 

and Timacs have been present in 

the Danube region since the 4 th 

century, but the largest breakthrough 

to the Balkans was done 

two centuries later. Since 14 th 

century there were Turks with a 

strong fleet, more powerful than 

the Austro-Hungarian. It is said 

that Suleiman the Great, on his 

conquest to Europe in 1526 had 

the fleet of 800 vessels below Belgrade. 

In those times, the trade 

was in bloom on the Danube and 

the Morava, and Serbs were acknowledged 

sailors since they 

knew the Danube’s ‘mood’. In 

16 th century the Austro-Hungarian 

ships were on the Danube, defending 

the border. The shippers 

were from the Slavic tribes along 

the Danube. 

The first Serbian ship-owners 

were Prince Milos and ‘The Danube 

Captain’ – Miša Anastasijević 

from Poreč. They exported agricultural 

products, and imported 

16 NP DJERDAP

salt. Miša Anastasijević, a great 

Serbian benefactor and donor to 

the education system, had 74 ships 

and 23’kamarasi’(boats for carrying 

goods) in 1850. 

Underwater rocks and high water 

velocity created great difficulties 

in sailing through Djerdap, 

especially after bigger vessels and 

steam ships appeared on the Danube. 

In the summer of 1834, the 

first steam ship of the Viennese 

company (DDSG) passed through 

Djerdap. The most extensive works 

on Djerdap channelling, up to Sip 

dam, were conducted by Austro- 

Hungary in the period between 

1889 and 1896. 

Djerdap river administration 

in Tekija and Oršava was in charge 

of the safety of sailing. Channel 

was particularly marked and they 

sailed only during the day, and the 

ships were necessarily conducted 

by the skilled and trained people 

through the Djerdap straits, ‘locs’ 

or pilots. Pilots came aboard at 

the final stations of Vince, Kožica, 

Ključ and Kladovo, Kostol on the 

right and Moldava, Drenkovi and 

Turn Severin on the left bank of 

the Danube. The ship pilots or 

locs, the ship conductors, knew 

Djerdap ’as the back of their hand’ 

and those were usually the people 

from Donji Milanovac and Tekija. 

Nowadays, the Danube is a 

part of trans-European river system 

Rhine-Maine-Danube 3,505 

long, and the flow of Danube 

within our country is 588 km.

Golubac Fortress 

At the very entrance into Djerdap 

gorge, four kilometres downstream 

from Golubac, there is 

Golubac fortress. Nobody knows 

for sure who built Golubac fortress 

and when – whether it was 

Serbs, Byzantines or Hungarians. 

The name Golubac city, according 

to the data available, was first 

mentioned in Hungarian charters 

in 1335, while in Turkish 

written sources it first appeared 

in 1390. It is assumed that the 

city was held by Serbs at the time 

of Kosovo battle, and afterwards, 

it was conquered by Bayezid I, in 

the late 17 th and early 18 th century 

it was ruled by the Austrians 

and until 1867 was governed 

by Turks. 

Strategically extremely important, 

it has an irregular base 

and walls which follow the terrain 

configuration. To ensure a 

more efficient defence, the town 

was internally divided into several 

parts - nine massive towers 

were interconnected by the wall 

with separated walking path thus 

being organized to defend the 

city, from both the land and the 

river. On the upper part of the 

fortress which used to be a citadel 

are three towers connected by 

walls, and the main tower was on 

the citadel, as well as probably a 

granary and water tank. On the 

lower part, on the Danube bank, 

there are remnants of a magnificent 

two-storey palace from the 

first half of the 15th century, accompanied 

by a six-storey tower 

used for defence and dwelling. 

Included in the outer fortress, 

there was a gate with a wooden 

bridge across the water trench 

and two towers. The coastal part 

of the fortress had a port where 

Turks built a low round cannon 

tower. During the 1930s a regional 

road was built through Golubac 

fortress and the entrance gate 

was torn down, without a previously 

prepared documentation. 

Archaeological research, restoration 

and conservation were 

performed systematically during 

1970s and 1980s, and then they 

stopped. After the expected revitalization 

of Golubac fortress, 

this monument of exceptional 

significance will shine in its full 

splendour.

Lepenski Vir 

On the Danube terrace in Djerdap, 

there is Lepenski Vir, one of 

the most significant archaeological 

sites of Serbia. During the archaeological 

excavations in the 1960s 

the sacral architecture and a monumental 

sculpture were discovered, 

tentatively dated to the period 

of 6500 BC to 4500 BC, which 

changed the world’s ideas about 

the beginnings of the civilization. 

Beneath the settlements of the 

first farmers and herders from 

the period between 5,300 BC and 

4,500 BC, seven successively built 

settlements of hunters, fishermen 

and food gatherers erected on 

each other were discovered. Excavated 

artefacts, numerous habitats, 

tombs reflecting unusual 

funeral rituals, various tools and 

jewellery made of stone, horns and 

bones, monumental sandsto ne 

scul ptures, as well as tiles with 

carved signs resembling letters, 

indicated that the original hunter 

- gatherer communities inhabiti 

ng the terrace near Lepenski 

Vir, established complex social 

re lationships, established architecture 

of a distinctive style and 

modelled a monumental sculpture 

of enormous pebbles. 

All habitat settlements (archaeological 

research discovered 136 

objects) have a form of truncated 

circular snippet at the angle of 60 

degrees. Construction of the settlements 

was planned, and their harmonious 

forms and functionality 

display a developed sense for architecture. 

Original architectural 

solutions and monumental sculpture 

put the culture of Lepenski 

Vir in a special and early phase of 

prehistoric culture in Europe. 

20 NP DJERDAP

Tabula Traiana 

It is a part of the ensemble of 

Roman monuments on the Roman 

road through Djerdap dedicated 

to the completion of works 

on two great architectural projects 

in Djerdap - the road through 

Djerdap and construction of Roman 

Channel in the vicinity of 

today’s Hydroelectric power plant 

“Djerdap 1”. It is carved in a rock, 

rectangular in form with the text 

in Latin dedicated to the Roman 

Emperor Trajan. 

“Emperor Nerva son of the 

divine Nerva, Nerva Trajan, the 

Augustus, Germanicus, Pontifex 

Maximus, invested for the fourth 

time as Tribune, Father of the 

Fatherland, Consul for the third 

time, excavating mountain rocks 

and using wood beams has made 

this road.” 

It was first set at 1.5 m height 

above the Roman road along the 

Danube. It is assumed, according 

to the inscription, that Trajan 

built a part of the Djerdap road in 

the Low gorge while preparing for 

the war against Dacians, so that 

in year 100 the last, hardest part 

was finished. The construction of 

the Roman road and a large number 

of forts show the importance 

of Djerdap to Roman Empire, until 

the final conquest of Dakia in 

the beginning of 2 nd century. The 

construction of the road, stretching 

along the Danube, was determined 

by the needs for a faster 

and safer sailing. The inscription 

on the board was engraved in six 

rows, but today only three are 

legible. From its rich relief decoration, 

only the friezes representing 

an eagle and figures of winged 

geniuses have been preserved. 

NP DJERDAP 

21

Beneath the inscription there is a 

kneeling figure, supposedly Danubius, 

and above it is a canopy with 

a coffered ceiling. 

With the formation of Djerdap 

water accumulation, the Roman 

road was flooded. The board, 

along with the part of the road, 

was cut and vertically elevated by 

25 m in order to be protected from 

rising of the Danube level which 

occurred after the construction 

of Hydroelectric power plant 

‘Djerdap 1’. 

Diana 

One of the biggest and bestpreserved 

Roman forts – castrum 

on the Danube was built from 

the ashlar stone, probably in year 

100-101, at the time of Emperor 

Trajan, at the same time with 

the channel construction when a 

safer sailing on the Danube was 

achieved. At its time, Diana was 

the most significant fort on the 

Upper Moesian limes, as it was 

erected on a strategically important 

location and a constant 

military unit had the task to 

guard the border and secure the 

downstream entrance into the 

channel. 

Diana is a rectangular castrum 

whose dimensions are 100 by 200 

m and has inwardly drawn towers 

on the walls. Diana got its final 

appearance by adding the walls 

with protruded towers that spread 

towards the Danube, closing and 

protecting a part of the bank, in 

the late 3 rd and early 4 th century. 

In the mid-5 th century this Roman 

castrum was destroyed by 

the Huns, but it was renewed by 

Emperor Justinian in 530. 

In the interior of the fort, apart 

from the remains of the walls with 

gates and towers, military barracks 

and other facilities were found, 

and above the walls, the existence 

of a smaller settlement, shrine and 

necropolis was confirmed. Marble 

and bronze sculptures, various 

items for everyday use which were 

found on Diana, show that this Roman 

fort, besides its fortification 

importance was a significant economic 

centre with a port. 

22 NP DJERDAP

Djerdap Gorge 

By its beauty and size, Djerdap 

gorge (in many European languages 

known as the Iron Gate) 

is unparalleled in Europe. It was 

formed many hundreds of thousands 

of years ago, by splitting 

the Carpathian mountain range 

so the Pannonian Sea filled the 

fault. The sea disappeared, and today 

the Danube flows through the 

canyon which is 130 km long. 

Djerdap gorge is the biggest 

breakthrough in Europe, consisting 

of four gorges and three valleys. 

Doubtless, the most beautiful 

gorge is Veliki Kazan, whose 

vertical sides rise up to 300 m abo- 

ve the Danube and it was confirmed 

that many eddies reach 

up to 90 m in depth. From Veliki 

Kazan, the way leads into 

Mali Kazan, which is 300 m wide 

and surrounded by steep cliffs. 

It ends at 966 th km of the Danube, 

called Hajdučka vodenica, 

and this place seems like an oasis 

among the stony boulders, the 

reason why sailors choose it for 

anchoring. 

Tabula Traiana is at 965 th km 

of the Danube in Djerdap gorge 

and is dedicated to the great construction 

project of the time – finishing 

the Roman road through 

Djerdap. Trajan’s Bridge is also 

connected to Trajan. 

NP DJERDAP

Trajan’s Bridge 

A magnificent building on the 

Danube connected Upper Moesia 

and Dakia, today Serbia and 

Romania, during the Roman Empire. 

It was located in the vicinity 

of village Kostol near Kladovo, 

on Serbian and Turn Severin, on 

Romanian side of the Danube. It 

was built by an order of Emperor 

Mark Ulpio Nerva Traiana and officially 

opened in year 105 during 

the second campaign of Trajan to 

Dacians. 

Trajan’s Bridge, which is one 

of the most important works of 

Roman construction building, was 

designed by the greatest architect 

of the time, Appolodorus of 

Damascus. It was made of stone, 

1,097.5 m long, with arches high 

above the water; it had 20 columns 

and portals at the access 

and at both Danube banks. The 

column dimensions are about 

18-19 by 33-34 m. Column foundations 

and portals were built 

from a very hard cement made 

from gravel pressed into plaster , 

above it were rows of bricks, the 

columns had the core of plaster, 

planked with the ashlars and 

bricks. Only two years were needed 

(from 103 to105) for Trajan’s 

bridge to be built; it is also the 

first bridge built on the lower 

Danube, which was 800 m wide at 

that spot. The historians say that 

this magnificent building was the 

longest bridge in the world for the 

following thousand years. 

When the Romans, invaded by 

barbaric tribes, had to leave their 

province, Dakia, the bridge was 

destroyed, by the order of Emperor 

Aurelian. However, other 

sources claim that it was pulled 

down 20 years after being built 

by the order of Emperor Hadrian, 

while there are other opinions 

that it broke into pieces under the 

water impact. The remains of the 

first columns can be seen even today 

on both, the Serbian and Romanian 

side.

Tourism in boots 

The area of North-eastern Serbia, 

where Djerdap National Park 

stretches at 63,608 ha, has always 

been well-known for the 

abundance and extreme variety 

of animals of which there is evidence 

in records of many travel 

writers who cruised around this 

region during the past centuries. 

The variety of game is present to 

this day, so that centennial oak 

and beech forests of Djerdap National 

Park are inhabited by many 

deer, buck, boars, badgers, martens, 

hares, wild pigeons, doves, 

while mountain goats, eagles and 

falcons adorn the rocky cliffs of 

Djerdap Kazan. 

Bear and lynx still wander the 

wood vastness of Djerdap National 

Park, while the wolves, jackals, 

foxes and wild cats are numerous. 

The vast Djerdap Lake is inhabited 

by many various swamp 

birds, while the neighbouring 

cultivated fields provide all necessary 

conditions for the successful 

breeding of small game 

(partridge, pheasant, and hare). 

The abundance and variety of 

hunting fauna, the quality of trophies 

and most of all, completely 

natural behaviour of game give 

an unforgettable sport and hunting 

experience in an extremely 

well-preserved natural space of 

the hunting ground for special 

purposes ‘Djerdap’. Due to the 

great caution of game caused by 

their completely natural behaviour, 

hunting in Djerdap National 

Park has all the characteristics of 

a true primeval experience, demanding 

the hunter to be physically 

prepared, extremely patient 

as well as highly knowledgeable 

about life habits of game. 

26 NP DJERDAP

Hunting ground has all of 

the necessary hunting-technical 

objects: stable shooting stands, 

shooting stands on trees, feeding 

places for deer and roe deer game, 

feeding places for boars and small 

game, watering places which provide 

a comfortable stay in hunting 

ground and hunting success in all 

weather conditions.

Fisherman’s Paradise 

Catfish, perch, pike, asp, bream, 

carp, etc. are a part of fish world 

in Djerdap National Park, and long-time 

hydro-biological research 

in the region of Djerdap National 

Park indicate the variety and 

richness of the Danube wildlife. 

The diversity and abundance of 

Djerdap National Park ichthyofauna 

is reflected in about 50 resident 

fish species. 

In the region of Djerdap National 

Park, fishing is allowed on 

the right bank of the Danube to 

the state border, from Golubac 

city to Golul Island. Recreational 

fishing is done with the hooks, 

and the maximum of three rods 

with two hooks on each. The fishing 

is allowed on the fishing water 

bank pre-set for recreational fishing, 

during the day and night. The 

use of boat for recreational fishing 

is permitted on the Danube. 

In Poreč bay, the use of boats is 

allowed for recreational fishing 

except during the spawning period 

of most significant fish species 

(from 1 st February to 15 th 

June). The recreational fishing is 

prohibited, due to safety reasons, 

500 m up and downstream from 

HP ‘Djerdap 1’. In accordance 

NP DJERDAP 

29

with the regulations and for 

the protection of fish stocks, 

the daily catch is limited for 

all categories of recreational 

fishermen in weight and 

pieces as follows: 

recreational fisherman 

can catch a daily maximum 

of 5 kg of indigenous fish 

species; 

catfish, perch, carp, pike, 

sturgeon, burbot, all types of 

trout, grayling and asp (three 

pieces per day in sum) 

pomfret, ide, carp, barbell, 

chub and bream (10 

pieces a day in sum). 

When the weight of the 

caught specimen exceeds 5 

kg, the daily catch limit in 

pieces is not applied, but in 

such cases it is considered 

that the daily catch limit 

of a recreational fisherman 

is reached. The fish caught 

during the closed season 

as well as specimens whose 

length is less than required, 

must be immediately returned 

into the fishing water 

with as little damage as 

possible. Recreational fishermen 

need to possess a 

valid annual permit for recreational 

fishing.

The area of special natural 

features Veliki and Mali Štrbac 

along with Tabula Traiana is one 

of the most interesting scientific 

and touristically attractive landscapes 

in Djerdap National Park. 

Rarely one can find areas where, 

on a relatively small space, a large 

number of natural rarities and 

values as well as cultural historical 

and memorial monuments are 

conjoined. There are many viewpoints 

in this area of special natural 

values, the most important of 

which are the peaks Veliki (768

stream and goes on the road towards 

Lake Balta Alu Šontu. 

MODERATELY DIFFICULT 

HIKING TRAIL THE BRNJIČKA 

RIVER CANYON 


The trail goes mostly along the 

Brnjička river canyon. Due to the 

impressive appearance of canyons 

and gorges, rocks which go up to

Viewpoints 

When you are in Djerdap National 

Park, under no circumstances 

should you miss to visit 

local viewpoints. 

Sokolovac is the most prominent 

peak in the Danube gorge 

Gospodjin Vir, rising 625 m above 

the sea level. It stretches between 

the Kožička River and the Pesača. 

The highest points of Sokolovac 

form a flat plateau of tens of hectares 

of meadows, surrounded by 

deciduous forest. In the beginning 

of spring, Sokolovac is covered with 

flowers. Sokolovac can be reached 

from Bosman by the hiking trail, 

and the whole gorge Gospodjin Vir, 

from Bosman to Greben, can be 

seen from this viewpoint. 

Greben is, as Jovan Žujović 

pointed out at the occasion of the 

International Geological Congress 

in Budapest in 1900, the most 

beautiful hill on the Balkans. Its 

beauty is neither in its altitude, 

which is not so great and is 119 

m, nor in its vegetation, but in the 

formations that have developed 

there. It is at the end of Boljetinsko 

brdo, along the Danube 

bank, whose beauty the Danube 

itself has revealed. Greben can be 

reached by the hiking trail over 

Boljetinsko brdo. 

Kovilovo, the roof of the world, 

at altitude of 358 m, is also called 

Golo brdo by the local people. Kovilovo, 

which gives a magnificent 

view of Donjomilanovačka valley, 

over 25 km long from Greben, to 

Golubinje, can be reached by a 

hiking trail initially leading down 

the asphalted road Donji Milanovac 

– Majdanpek via Oman, and 

afterwards down the forest road 

to Golo brdo. 

Ploče, Veliki Štrbac – An impressive 

sight from Ploče (375 

36 NP DJERDAP

NP DJERDAP 

m), Veliki Štrbac (768 m) and 

Mali Štrbac (626 m) is long remembered 

because the forces 

of nature in Djerdap gorge can 

be seen at work. Veliki and Mali 

Štrbac, apart from being the 

highest peaks of Miroč, are also 

very attractive viewpoints, providing 

spectacular view of the 

Danube at its narrowest part, 

above the dramatic gorge Kazan. 

Unlike the most part of Miroč, 

which is dominated by the forms 

of plateau, the reef where there 

are Veliki and Mali Štrbac is a 

karst formation of exposed rocks, 

which have several hundred meters 

of rocky sections toward the 

Danube, perfect for alpinism. On 

the other hand, this area is covered 

with some of the richest, 

and given the number of plant 

species, most diverse forests, so it 

is no surprise that the area of Veliki 

and Mali Štrbac is under the 

first degree of protection within 

Djerdap National Park. The ascent 

to these two peaks is always 

exquisite, with alternating inspiring 

views from the rocks, meadows 

and forest paths, where encounters 

with roebuck and other 

forest residents are not uncommon. 

There are various routes 

that can get you to Mali or Veliki 

Štrbac; they can also be accessed 

by the most famous marked hiking 

trail, via Ploče.

Golubac 

THE DANUBE’S WIDEST SMILE

At 1042 nd km of the Danube, 

at the very entrance 

to Djerdap, in the region 

of Kučajske Mountains in northeastern 

Serbia, there is Golubac. 

An important feature of its geographical 

position is its location 

on the border of two geo areas: 

plain – the rim of Pannonian basin 

and the Carpathian mountain system. 

A convenient geographical 

position of Golubac has attracted 

many conquerors. In the period 

of Roman conquests, the Danube 

was a stable natural defence wall. 

In order to keep this function of 

the Danube in the future, the Romans 

also erected fortifications 

protecting the northern borders 

of the Empire. On the hill, four 

kilometres upstream from the 

medieval town of Golubac, there 

are some remains of castle – more 

famous as Vicus Cuppae, from 

the first century A.D, which is believed 

to have been, administratively, 

a part of Viminacium. The 

region around Golubac was long 

in crossfire between Byzantine, 

Serbs, Bulgarians and Hungarians. 

The peace came when these 

regions went under Serbian ruling 

during the reign of king Dragutin 

(in 1291). In those turbulent, war 

times the medieval town of Golubac 

was founded. 

Golubac was first mentioned 

as a fortress with a Hungarian 

military formation in 1335. It is 

assumed that the town was ruled 

by Serbs at the time of Kosovo 

battle, and after the battle it was 

taken by Bayezid I. The town 

was ruled by Serbs again around 

1410, during the reign of Stefan 

Lazarević. After Stefan’s death, 

changes occurred. Despot Stefan 

Lazarević was obliged to return 

40 GOLUBAC

Mačva, Belgrade and Golubac to 

Hungary since he did not have an 

heir to the throne. At the time of 

Stefan’s death, Hungarian king 

Sigismund came to Serbia to 

overtake the territories according 

to the contract. Stefan Lazarević 

had previously given Golubac to 

Duke Jeremija as a pledge for the 

loan of 12,000 gold coins. To the 

request of Sigismund to surrender 

the town, the mayor Jeremija 

asked for the previous payment 

of 12,000 gold coins he had given 

for the town. Since Sigismund 

did not want to pay, Jeremija 

surrendered the town to Turks 

without a fight. Golubac was under 

Turkish rule until 1867 with 

shorter breaks. 

Interesting legends are related 

to the name Golubac. One of 

them is that a beautiful princess 

Golubana lived on the court, and 

she refused the love of a Turkish 

pasha, so she was nailed to the 

Danube rock to die. With pasha’s 

shouts: ‘Baba, repent (‘Babo, pokaj 

se!’ in Serbian), the rock was 

given the name Babakaj and the 

town Golubac, after Golubana. 

According to another legend, 

Byzantine princess Jerina, Despot 

Djuradj’s wife, bred a lot of 

pigeons on the fortress, hence the 

name Golubac (golub is pigeon 

in Serbian). According to some 

other story, the towers of the fortress 

resemble pigeons on a cliff. 

Then, Šešir – kula was erected so 

that pigeons carrying mail would 

take off and land easier, and then 

wild pigeons inhabited the cliffs. 

Anyway, ‘pigeon’ (golub) is even 

today in the basis of the town’s 

name and not only in Serbian, 

but also in German, Hungarian, 

Turkish and other languages.

Ethno house – Sladinac, 

Golubac 

The house is located in Sladinac 

village, 5 km from Golubac 

and objects from the end of 

XIX century and beginning of 

XX century are exhibited there. 

Old coins, rubber and wooden 

shoes, weaved bags, traditional 

clothes of this area, various 

dishes, wooden cradles, a hundred-year-old 

furniture, wooden 

table, three-legged stools are exhibited 

in Živojin Stokić’s ethno 

house. The value of this exhibition 

is reflected in its authenticity 

and originality of the objects 

exhibited. 

Ethno exhibition in Dobra, 

Golubac 

On 25 th km downstream from 

Golubac, near the ancient site 

‘Castrum Nove’ is located a village 

Dobra which is included in 

touristic offer of Golubac municipality 

due to its unique ethnographic 

exhibition in the rooms 

of House of Culture. Several 

hundreds of exhibits bearing evidence 

of the historical, cultural

Monasteries 

Monastery Tumane 

Only 9 km from Golubac, 

in the beautiful environment 

of pure and 

unspoiled nature, where 

only the Tumanska River 

spoils the peace and quiet, 

Tumane monastery lies. 

It was built in XIV century, 

right before Kosovo 

battle and it is dedicated 

to Archangel Gabriel. It is 

an endowment of Miloš 

Obilić, built in Serbian- 

Byzantium style. The 

monastery was burnt and 

destroyed in the First and 

Second Serbian Uprising, 

and restored at the time of 

Prince Miloš Obrenović. 

It was secretly mined in 

1910, torn down to foundations 

and rebuilt in 1924, and in 1993 

it was completely renovated and 

painted. Tumane monastery is a 

women’s monastery and it keeps, 

apart from St Zosim’s relics, miraculous 

Holy Russian icon. 

The surrounding of Tumane 

monastery is an area of exquisite 

natural beauty, and a special feature 

of this natural monument 

is also tufa accumulation. In the 

tufa itself there is an old beechoak 

forest and a traditional tap 

where the gifts are brought to the 

souls of the deceased. 

Zosim Sinajit Hermitage 

This is the cave near the monastery, 

deep in the forest, where 

Zosim lived his ascetic life, dedicated 

to God. In the 1950s, the 

cave was turned into a chapel, 

when the spiritualist Pahomije 

decided to lead a solitary life. 

Near the hermitage is the spring 

which is believed to have miraculously 

healing characteristics.

Donji Milanovac

In Donjomilanovačka valley, 

on the Danube’s 990 th km, 

since 1971, after the building 

of hydroelectric power plant 

’Djerdap 1’ and elevation of the 

Danube’s level which flooded the 

old settlement, the settlement 

of Donji Milanovac is located. 

This picturesque Danubian town 

has changed its location several 

times throughout its long history. 

In the ancient times, an important 

military camp and settlement, 

called Taliata, was located 

at Veliki Gradac place, but at the 

time of Turks it was further developed 

as Poreč and it was an 

important town on the Danube 

Ada during the First Serbian Uprising. 

Due to frequent floods, 

by Miloš Obrenović’s Decree in 

1832, Poreč was moved eight kilometres 

downstream, along the 

Danube’s right bank and was given 

the name of Milanovac, after 

Milan, Miloš Obrenović’s eldest 

son. Milanovac was built according 

to the first regulation plan in 

Serbia, according to the sketches 

of Stefan Stefanović Tenka, the 

Duke in Poreč and president 

of the State Council, and it has 

borne the name Donji Milanovac 

since 1859. It used to be the 

centre of Porečko-rečki county 

and Donji Milanovac Municipality 

until 1965. This region is believed 

to be the cradle of ancient 

Europe because of the values of 

archaeological sites Lepenski Vir 

and Rudna Glava nearby. 

Nowadays Donji Milanovac is 

the place with significant touristic 

potentials not only due to 

its natural richness of Djerdap 

National Park, in whose centre 

it is located, but also its cultural 

heritage and convenient weather 

conditions. The hotel ’Lepenski 

Vir’ and the management of Public 

Enterprise ’Djerdap National 

Park’ is in Donji Milanovac.

Galleries/ Museums 

Lepenski Vir Museum 

The centre for visitors – Lepenski 

Vir Museum is a part of the 

protected archaeological complex 

Lepenski Vir, near the village 

Boljetin, not far from Donji 

Milanovac, a part of Djerdap National 

Park. 

It was built next to the dislocated 

site Lepenski Vir, which is 

significant world’s archaeological 

site, 9000 years old. Lepenski 

Vir Museum has been included 

in The National Museum since 

1978. In June 2011, at the spot 

of the former building of the 

Museum, a new, modern building 

was opened, the Centre for 

visitors – Lepenski Vir Museum. 

In the new building, apart from 

the site itself, which is the main 

and central exhibit of the museum 

and the presentation which 

includes the copies of magnificent 

sculptures from the site, it

exhibition. 

It presents the Mesolithic and 

Neolithic era of the site Lepenski 

Vir itself, over 100 exhibits 

in sum (tools, jewellery, sacrificial

ST. NICHOLAS CHURCH IN 


In the old, now flooded Donji 

Milanovac, in the centre of this 

Danube town, there used to be

by Miša Anastasijević in 1840. 

Dimitrije Posniković painted the 

frescoes and Stevan Todorović

Kladovo

Kladovo is considered to be 

an older city in the Danube 

area, and the origin of 

the town is connected to the military-civil 

camp built by the Romans 

on the border, known by the 

name Zanes. When the camp was 

destroyed, the Slavs built their own 

settlement Novi Grad (‘new town’) 

on its foundations. On the building 

of the Turkish fortress Fetislam, 

Novi Grad loses its Slavic character 

more and more. It is believed that 

the name of the town stems from 

the word kladenac, since Kladovo 

is rich in springs or from the word 

klada (log), from the cut forests, although 

some think that these cuts 

date later than the first times when 

the name was mentioned in writing. 

Anyway, Kladovo was mentioned 

for the first time, under its 

present name, in one Austrian military 

document in which the attack 

of Wallachian haiduks to the town 

in 1596 was described. Among the 

oldest and most valuable written 

data is the description of the town 

which Evliya Chalabi, a Turkish geographer 

and travel writer, noted 

while staying in Kladovo. 

Kladovo has been popular as 

a bohemian town since the old 

times, the town where the old 

and new are entwined. It has remained 

in a written form, that 

Serbian Prince, Miloš Obrenović, 

enforcing the regulation about 

urbanization of Kladovo by ‘engineering’, 

defined that the ratio 

of houses and kafanas (taverns) 

which was ten to one, cannot be 

disturbed in the town. The tradition 

of the famous kafanas and 

restaurants continues to this 

day by many catering facilities, 

especially in the old city centre, 

which is the oasis of bohemia 

and ‘good bite’. Kladovo is wellknown 

and appreciated among 

the epicures for the fish specialties 

such as: small sturgeon 

in ‘a gap’, ‘drunken’ carp, grilled 

sturgeon, smoked carp, fish soup 

or widely-known Kladovo caviar. 

This area is also famous for the 

delicious wine made of grapes 

grown on quicksand, ‘The Danube 

Soul’, a white wine manufactured 

according to the French 

technology, a real Kladovo brand. 

Museums/ Galleries 

Archaeological museum of 

Djerdap is located in Kladovo, 

on the Danube bank, between the 

72 KLADOVO

Fetislam fortress and the city 

centre. At 560 square meters of 

exhibition space, there are about 

400 representative exhibits of an 

extreme historical importance 

dating from prehistory to Middle 

Ages. 

It was founded in 1996, as 

one of the most significant goals 

in the field of the scientific and 

research project Djerdap’s heritage 

protection (1978/9-1998). In 

its organization, it is a part of the 

National Museum in Belgrade 

and HP Djerdap Kladovo. The 

exhibitions of the objects present 

and interpret the millennium 

continuity of inhabiting the Danube, 

integrating the multicultural 

heritage and natural environment, 

the unique material and 

immaterial heritage, aiming to 

learn, arrange and use. 

The visits to the museum is in 

the tourist offers, and organized 

visits to the museum are provided 

by the guides of Djerdap-tourist 

(+38119 801 010) and Hotel

There was a small church of 

Saint George where the inscriptions 

were kept which enabled 

us to explain some parts of the 

history of Orthodox people in 

this region even in 1735. Today’s 

Church of Saint George was built 

at the time of Obrenović Dynasty 

in 1856 and it was sanctified 

a year later. It is possible to visit 

the church every day.

It must be tasted 

White wine 

‘The Danube Soul’ 

’The Danube Soul’ (Espirit du 

Danube) is a ’naked’ wine, completely 

natural, without any artifi 

cial ingredients. It is made of 

the grape variety called Italian 

Riesling (Rhine Riesling), and 

French winemaking includes a 

fine surface filtration and mild 

stabilization so that most of fruit 

aroma and freshness is preserved. 

The characteristics of this wine 

are nice light yellow and green 

colour, delicate fruit aroma and 

sour-sweet flavour. It is made 

from Rhine Riesling grape variety, 

which is crushed two hours after 

the harvest, so that the fresh fruit 

aroma is preserved. The grapes 

are produced on the grafted vine 

stock, which is a real rarity in the 

world. The region where the vineyard 

is located is on the first place 

in Serbia by the number of sunny 

days in a year, which is why the 

grapes are distinguished by the 

high fruit contents and optimal 

ratio of acids. ’The Danube Soul’ 

is, before all, a refreshing and 

play ful wine just like the river after 

which it got its name. 

The red wine 

’The Balkans Soul’ 

The wine ’The Balkans Soul’ is 

more than a subtle blend of grape 

varieties: Prokupac, Vranac and 

Cabernet. This wine is the expression 

of the ground and climate 

which produces it and with 

its unique features speaks about 

the characteristics of the regions 

it originates from. Steep slopes 

of karst geology in the vineyards 

around Aleksandrovac and Rajac, 

a relatively high altitude and 

cold autumn nights contribute 

to the slow riping of grapes. It 

gi ves the wine the fruit flavour 

and refreshing character. The 

particular feature of the wine 

is best described in the French 

word ’terroir’, which expresses 

the mixture of ground, climate 

and human skill.

Waterfall - 

spring Beg bunar 

A legend says that a young 

Turkish nobleman (’beg’), from 

around Golubac fortress, suddenly 

fell ill and became weak. Turkish 

hecims, the doctors of that 

time, recommended him, besides 

other medicines, regular walks 

along the gorge down the Danube. 

On the first walk, tired and 

weary, he stopped next to the waterfall 

and drank some cold water. 

His strength returned tomorrow 

and after several days of drinking 

that cold water from the spring, 

he was completely healed, to his 

joy and his harem’s. So the spring 

and the waterfall got the names 

by this Golubac ’beg’, Beg bunar. 

According to another story, 

the name of the spring came 

from the periods of drought 

when the quantity of water in the 

spring is considerably smaller, it 

almost dries out – water actually 

runs away (beg – run away). The 

name Beg bunar is given after the 

running of the water. 

The research conducted before 

the Second World War determined 

that a part of the spring 

of the Pek river sinks deeply into 

Homolja, into limestone crevices, 

and through many kilometres 

of underwater stone caves and 

channels, cooled by the rocks 

and enriched with minerals, the 

water springs at this place. 

Rajko’s Cave 

The miraculous halls of Rajko 

harambasa 

Only a few kilometres from 

Majdanpek centre, with the entrance 

hidden by the tree tops, 

there is Rajko’s cave. Jovan Cvijić, 

our famous naturalist, discovered 

it in the end of 19th century. 

For what is known so far, the corridors 

of Rajko’s cave are about 

two kilometres long. Rajko’s 

cave is one of the most interesting 

caves in Serbia according to 

speleological characteristics and 


morphogenetic evolution. It consists 

of two levels, sinking and 

spring. The lower is hydrologically 

active, and the higher is the 

dry level. Since it has the length 

of 2.304 metres of explored 

channels, it is the longest cave 

in Serbia. Connecting the river 

and dry channel a circular path 

of 1410 m of length was made. 

Tourists visit only some parts 

of river and dry level. A narrow 

concrete path leads through spacious 

’Concert’ and ’Hedgehog’s’ 

halls, next to ’Small’ and ’Large 

organs’, ’Hanged haiduk Rajko’ 

to ’The hall of Bathtubs’. The 

temperature in the cave is +8 degrees 

Celsius, while the relative 

humidity is a hundred per cent. 

The whole cave got the name 

of Rajko harambasa after an innkeeper 

of this name who is believed 

to have served the guests 

by day and robbed the caravans 

with his bandits by night. The 

legend says that he hid his treasure 

in this very cave. Even if he 

did, he did not manage to spend 

it, because the authorities caught 

and hanged him. As a memory 

of him, there is a legend about a 

hidden treasure to tickle our imagination 

and the name of this 

speleological beauty. 

Apart from the legend, Rajko’s 

cave is unique by its socalled 

bathtubs. It is known for 

holes similar to bathtubs in the 

floor of the cave corridors which 

are rarely seen elsewhere. One 

whole corridor is in these bathtubs, 

but it cannot be walked on, 

so we can only catch a glimpse 

of it. However, the experience is 

not reduced by that. On entering 

the cave, you will meet Sacrificial 

Altar, the Ghosts, A bale of Hay, 

Ćele kula. From Cvijić’s whirl, 

you will emerge into Waterfall’s 

Hall, see the Hall of Tombstone, 

experience the Winter Fairy tale 

and get to The Crystal Hall which 

a perfectly suitable name for it. 

Every step made on this narrow 

concrete path brings a new, unforgettable, 

unique, amazing experience. 

Long after emerging 

to daylight the sparkles of cave 

jewellery made from the crystal 

calcite remain in your eyes white 

as an icy winter landscape.

Beli izvorac 

At the 17 th kilometre from Majdanpek, 

in the flow of the Šaška 

River, there is a natural monument, 

a tufa accumulation, included 

in the Inventory of geo-heritage 

objects of Serbia, owing to its 

geomorphological values. It was 

made under the spring of the same 

name, which emerges from a short 

cave at 360 metres of altitude. It 

starts with a spacious balcony 

made of tufa, at whose rim there is 

a waterfall 16 metres high. Under 

the waterfall, tufa accumulation 

descends in cascades until 278 metres, 

at the length of 290 metres. 

The sinking of water through the 

tufa, under the waterfall, made a 

cave channel 13 metres long and 

4 metres wide, open at both sides. 

The sedimentation of tufa in the 

cave made pure white stalactites. 

Downstream from the waterfall, 

in the bed of the stream, 

there are many tufa partitions, 

behind which tufa accumulation 

lakes are formed, of up to 10 m 

in diameter and 2-3 metres deep. 

The stream flows down over the 

partitions in the form of cascades 

and smaller waterfalls, among 

which there are two which are 5 

metres high. 

Blederijski Waterfall 

As all magnificent sights, Blederijski 

Waterfall is not easily seen 

by a passenger, as it used to be 

said, or today’s touristic nomads, 


who, in search of adventure, cruise 

around Eastern Serbia. It is 

eight kilometres far from Brza 

Palanka, and about six kilometres 

from the village Reka. The amazing 

Blederijski Waterfall is on a 

tufa which can be found at the 

spring itself all the way to the 

waterfall and is hard to notice 

due to thick vegetation. However, 

if you have a good guide, it is 

not hard to reach this fairy-tale 

sight. Roads and paths leading 

to the wonderful waterfall and 

interesting spring are easy, because, 

apart from their length, 

there is not a significant altitude 

difference. At first you will hear 

and then see Blederijski waterfall 

which at first sight reminds of the 

waterfall Zeleni Vir in Resavke 

Lisine. Since Blederijski Waterfall 

is bigger and stronger, so the 

impressions become different. 

Wa ter swoops down vertically, 

from the height of about seven 

metres, after flooding over tufa 

bar, with a strong, perhaps even 

intimidating roar, in the shape of 

a water curtain into a tufa bathtub, 

a big whirl or a small lake. 

It is turquois green, except for 

the periods of great rain or snow 

melting. But even then, the eternal 

play of water and stone has its 

beauty. The already mentioned 

tufa bar has the looks of an irregular 

horseshoe, which makes way 

to some smaller waterfalls flow 

under it, so that apart from the 

big waterfall, there is a smaller 

one on the side, which disappears 

during the summer since there 

is less water in the river, but it is 

there in spring, when the river is 

rich in water.

Municipality as European home 

of metal, and at the same time, the 

most archaic customs and beliefs are

MTS 

At the moment when MT:S 

was founded, one mobile operator 

was already present at the 

market of Serbia. In a very short 

time, Telekom Serbia managed 

to reach the place of the biggest 

national operator in Serbia. 

Telekom Serbia celebrated 

its 10th birthday in 2007, and 

more than 5 million people use 

the services of Mobile Telephony 

Serbia, which covers 98 per 

cent of population and 92 per

has about 7 million networked 

users in three countries in the 

Balkans.

is to be the operator whose 

customers are satisfied with 

the services, brand, quality and

to ‘rebrand’, with a wish to 

be recognizable in public by the 

quality of services, lower prices, 

customer relations, but also by 

the leading role in introduction 

of new technologies and services. 

Since then, besides the new 

brand, MT:S, with its slogan 

‘You have friends’ promotes 

new services and presents itself 

as an operator whose priority 

is customers’ satisfaction and 

acceptance of new technologies 

on the domestic market. 

The slogan ‘You have friends’ 

during all these years it has 

existed, MT:S has proved with 

a huge number of customers, 

quality of services and innovations 

in mobile technology to 

be keeping up with the world 

trends. Djerdap National Park 

is completely covered by MT:S
