Description
Join a day trip from Belgrade to explore the beautiful landscapes of Western Serbia's countryside. Gaze at the unusual Drina River House, explore the Mokra Gora Wooden Village, and discover the historic Sargan 8 Railroad in the company of your guide.
Our first stop is Drina River House, a unique house built on a rock in the middle of the Drina River. Take in the stunning scenery and snap some unforgettable photos of this specific sight. This part of Serbia is known for growing raspberries and we recommend that you try the homemade raspberry juice here.
Next, we'll head to Mokra Gora Wooden Village, a picturesque village located in the mountains. Enjoy the fresh mountain air and explore the charming wooden houses and streets. The village was built as a filming location by the famous director Emir Kusturica.
Our final stop will be at the Sargan 8 Railroad, a narrow-gauge heritage railway that winds through the stunning mountain landscapes. We'll board the train and embark on a journey of breathtaking views, including tunnels, bridges, and impressive curves, all while enjoying the cozy atmosphere of the historic train.
After the train ride we will have some time for late lunch and we suggest you to try some local specialties, such as roasted lamb or 'komplet lepinja' - bread that is filled with kajmak (a type of Balkan cream cheese) and two fried eggs.
Throughout the day, you'll have a knowledgeable and friendly guide at your disposal, who will share with you interesting facts and stories about the history, culture, and people of Serbia.
Our mini vans for tours are comfortable, well-maintained, ensuring a pleasant and reliable travel experience.
IMPORTANT: From November 17th to April 1st (except December 21st to January 19th), the Šargan 8 Railroad is closed for visits. During this period, instead of the train ride, you'll have the chance to explore Tara National Park (3 Eur per person) with a visit to the scenic Banjska Stena viewpoint, an easy hiking activity. In case of rain or snow, we’ll take you to the center of Zlatibor, one of Serbia's most beloved destinations for leisure.
