Itinerary description

Exploring unmarked paths over mountain Rudnik
Trail was marked as easy as most of the trails leads trough solid rocky path. The only two-three things needed to be considered as moderate.
Path after Djurine celije (archeological site ruins of Orthodox monastery from 15 century) to the main road to monastery Blagoveštenje and uphill accent from remains of Ottoman
mosque named Misa.
The third factor is the rain that started to fall at least 5 times during the this afternoon.
There is two water sources on the trail - one in monastery Blagoveštenje and second one on the downhill from summit Marjanac. Local people confirms that is water is for drinking. Moreover most of them come to the spring for water and carry it home.

One of many intersection on trail. Although it would be nice to go down (easier path) you still need to keep the right side and after a small slight ascent you come out on a straight road

    Hi! I'm a Spanish medicine student who is going to be doing a surgery rotation in Serbia. I was just starting in the trail running world, but due to a recent injurance I have decreased the level of toughness of my activities. Even though, I'm in love with the mountains and the landscapes, and I would love to visit the most recommendable places in Serbia

    Could you help me with some advice or even helping me to meet some group that will accept me with them? I'm currently staying in Beograd, but during the weekends I have no problem at going somewhere else

    Thank you a lot!!😄

    Hello Antonio,

    Nice to meet you.

    Since you are recovery from a injury, I can recommend relaxing walks in Belgrade (lots of places where you can take a break when you need, and there is a lot of public transport - busses or trams for a quick and fast way to go back home).
    One of the recommended places is a city park Kosutnjak https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Košutnjak and map of tracks http://dusanpopovic.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Kosutnjak.gif or a mountain Avala.

    Also a good alternative for walking can be the Ada lake but in the summer I do not recommend (too hot).

    Regarding mountaineers’ societies you can check web page https://www.mojaplaneta.net/najave_akcija/ (only in Serbian language unfortunately). The Page contains announcements of the activities for a lot of mountaineers clubs in Serbia.
    There is an options to go outside of Belgrade and visit Fruska Gora or Vrsac mountain, but it is too hot for this type of activities.

    Additionally I can recommend the Deliblato sands one of the largest sands in Europe but the right time for visits is first week of October.

    Hope that it helps

    If you need more details or recommendation do not hesitate to contact me (via private chat)

    Bets regards and quick recovery
