HI everyone

I am an expatriate living in Belgrade, and going to have a guest coming in for a week long vacation in mid October.

I would really like to not spend the entire time in the city, and was thinking to take him for a 2-2.5 day trip to see some nature, do some hiking and stuff like that.

We were thinking about renting a car and going not too far a way from Belgrade.

We are planning to get out and make it back to the city in about 2-3 days because of time constraints.

Any Ideas where we can go to make a base in some village from where we can take some trips, have something to eat and drink in the evenings and a nice place to sleep, and from where we can do some nice trails?

Would appreciate any advice!

Thanks

I recommend eastern Serbia, along the Danube

I will look into it. I am actually on my way now to the tourist information center, to see if they have some ideas for me.

but maybe there are other places that I can go to ask for some advice here? (in Belgrade)

Sremski Karlovci and Fruska Gora

Sremski Karlovci and Fruska Gora

Well, today I went to the Serbian tourist center (in Belgrade, don't remember the exact street name, but it's very close to the Belgrade tourist information office in Knjez mihaelova street).

They actually recommended that I go to the southwest, towards Cacak, Zlater mountain, uzice and all this area. also, I can be closer to belgrade by going to Valjevo, Tara mountain, Mokra Gora. Looking at the map now, I am thinking about going maybe to Loznica, I see that there are many  nature attractions in that area.

The thing that  am concerned about is *HOW* will I find the trails? lets say I go to Loznica and I want to go from there on a half a day long trip... are there marked trails? where can I find a map for these kind of trails?

After the consultation there  I met with a friend who recommended that I take exactly the path that you recommended, Abraskas. to go north and see the villages, wineries, restaurants and such along the Danube river in the north, to Novi sad, fruska gora and that area. She said that it is more of a sightseeing thing, which maybe suitable for us too. I think I will plan for both options.

But, the same question arises, will there be marked trails (in case we decide to do this) and how to find them...

Thoughts anyone?

You can also go to Rtanj, you need two h driving from Beg. it's an easy and nice mountian to hike it would take you abouth 6h to to the top and back down easily one day trip from Beg and then you can go to Romulijana then Kladovo and go along Danub river back to Belgrade.
