THURSDAY

We start off our day with an optional full-day excursion to Stopica Cave (extra), famous for its 10m high subterranean waterfall, but also its climate. Later, we shall proceed to the beautiful Gostilje Waterfalls. We will later drive to Sirogojno and visit the “Staro Selo Sirogojno”, an open-air museum or “ethno village” known as the Old Village Museum. The ethnic village displays a set of traditional wooden buildings, including a bakery, a dairy, and an inn, all in authentic form. The village of Sirogojno was declared a Monument of Culture of Exceptional Importance in 1983, and it is protected by the Republic of Serbia.

FRIDAY

We start our day with an optional short walk to the beautiful Zlatibor Lake, where we shall proceed to the local market where one can buy traditional products such as woodcarvings, handcrafts, and souvenirs. We will then make a short stop at St John the Baptist church and Stone Bridge and continue our drive towards Mokra Gora and enjoy an Archaic Sargan Eight train ride (included) by narrow-gauge railway which passes through gorgeous Tara Mountain landscapes with various stops along the way. Afterward, we will visit the Wooden Town located on the top of Mecavnik Hill, a traditional settlement founded by famous film director Emir Kusturica. In the afternoon, free time in Zlatibor.

SATURDAY

Today, our optional full-day excursion will take us towards a location situated in central Serbia, where the Zapadna Morava river has carved a gorge, impressive in scale, between the mountains of Ovcar and Kablar. Here, we will have a boat ride (included) which makes a stop at a medieval monastery along the banks which is unique for its location and the era in which it came into being. After the boat trip, we will have some free time for lunch (extra). Later, we will visit the town of Čačak which is the center of administration of Ovcar and Kablar Gorge. On the way back, we make a stop at a local pottery shop in the village of Zlakusa and get first-hand experience with how local pottery is made.

SUNDAY

Today, we will go for a very pleasant full-day optional excursion, taking us to the Tara National Park. The Park is especially famous for its fascinating nature. We will enjoy a tour of Lazici Dam (photo stop) while observing Spajici Lake and the area where the famous Pancic’s Spruce was discovered in 1875. We will next make a stop in Mitrovac where we take a walk through the protected woods along the Red Creek to the natural phenomenon Carpet Meadow. Moving on we stop at Perucac which is reputedly Serbia smallest river – the Vrelo, also known as the yearlong river due to its length-365m-from source to end with the length in metres corresponding to the number of days in a year. Our last stop will be at River Drina where we will see the famous and beautiful House on the Rock.

MONDAY

Today, we can enjoy a day surrounded by nature! Our full-day optional excursion will take us to visit Uvac Lake. The lake consists of a compound of unreal meanders that nature carved miraculously, showing off the most beautiful color of crystal-clear waters. Our day will help us forget about civilization for a short while, and we can relax whilst hearing the sounds of nature and enjoying the unspoiled natural wealth. We shall have a boat ride (included) on Zlatar Lake (Kokin Brod) and we have time for lunch (included) by the river. In the afternoon, free time in Zlatibor.

TUESDAY

Our last full-day optional excursion will take us first to the Kadinjaca Memorial Complex.

In the afternoon, we will proceed to Nest Retail Park for some personal shopping; otherwise, one can visit the center of Užice.
