Itinerary description

This is a very beautiful hike. Nice and easy except the one bit where you need to climb over and down the unstably constructed bamboo and old tyres sheep fence. Do this in early/mid July when the raspberries are ready to eat - lots of snacking along the way.

There is a lot of downhill at the end - may be a bit slippery after rain.

Credit where credit's due - this is route 16 in the Hiking and Biking in Serbia book by Katherina Haberli Harker - buy it!

Start of the hike

Start here - there is a small wooden sign to Sumadska Kuca on the main road, but it's very small, so easy to miss.

The hardest bit of the hike

I took this photo once I was over the other side. Basically you are happily walking through a field and then suddenly you're stuck - how to get through? Well you have to climb over and down these tyres/twigs and down - it's probably 3m down, very overgrown, full of big tyre holes and unstable. Take care!

    This was not circular route. Did you use the car (someone drove you to the starting point) and a train to get back to Belgrade? Or how?
