The Danube flows past magnificent fortresses in Petrovaradin, Smederevo, Golubac and medieval monasteries. It is surrounded by stunning landscapes, national parks, vineyards, orchards, fishing spots, dense vegetation on river isles, sandbanks, coastal lakes... Dense forests, magnificent gorges and valleys are rare oasis of flora and fauna. Many settlements of great cultural importance, Roman fortifications and dynamic modern cities such as Belgrade and Novi Sad lie in perfect harmony along its river banks.
The Danube is not just a river. It is a world of exciting natural beauties, the custodian of the oldest civilisations. Landscape constantly changes from Panonian Plain in the north to Djerdap, the biggest river gorge in Europe. In Serbia the Danube reaches its top force which is a special reason to travel by the Danube particularly through Serbia. A breathtaking attraction is the pass through Djerdap gorge between the Carpathian and the Balkan mountain ranges as well as a place called «Trajan's Plaque» where this Roman emperor crossed the Danube.
