Western Serbia Day Trip from Belgrade

  • Belgrade (Pass By)
  • Prepare yourself for an exciting and unforgettable adventure in Western Serbia, the most vivid region in the country, which can easily be described in just two words: unimaginable nature!
  • This unforgettable day starts with a morning departure from Belgrade and a drive into wild and almost untouched nature, tasty cuisine, and the company of friendly, hospitable people.
  • Drina River House
    • The route takes us along the gorgeous Drina River, where you will have a unique opportunity to see the world-famous attraction, "The House on the Drina," an isolated log house set on a river stone.
    • The cherry on top is the breathtaking view from the viewpoint above this stunning landscape of high mountains and the Drina River itself.
  • Mokra Gora
    • Our first goal on the tour is the unique retro "Šargan 8 Railway."
    • A ride on the retro train called "Nostalgy" will transport you back to a bygone era and allow you to fully enjoy the scenery and numerous tunnels.
    • While taking in the amazing landscapes, you will learn how this project became a huge victory of technology over nature, why it is named after a number, and how it became Europe's most attractive narrow-gauge railway.
  • Drvengrad
    • After this "time travel" ride, something equally fabulous awaits in the continuation of the tour.
    • Film fans will be overjoyed to visit the breathtaking ethno-village "Wooden Town," built by the famous director Emir Kusturica.
    • All the buildings in this charming complex are made from natural materials, mainly wood.
    • An especially interesting and glamorous event in this town is the film festival "Kustendorf," a highly respected annual celebration of motion pictures.
    • We will treat you like our special guest and make a lunch break, allowing you to enjoy traditional Serbian food.
  • Our ride back to Belgrade will be equally exciting.
  • We will drive through the picturesque Ovčar-Kablar Canyon, which rises above the meanders of the Western Morava River, allowing you to enjoy even more of Western Serbia's beautiful scenery.
  • With your head and soul full of impressions, you will be safely driven back to Belgrade.
