Enjoy lush landscapes, pastures, meadows, hills, and the alluring play of wild horses at sunset! Discover the beauty of mountain rivers and clear streams that suddenly transform into untamed waterfalls often above 60 meters high. Climb a smaller peak, or go down a cave, simply for the joy of it. The braver can rappel down a cliff, and the bravest down a river canyon. Meet wild, pristine, exceptional nature. Yes, meet Balkan, the mountain that gave its name to the Balkan peninsula. Welcome to the Balkan mountains, a unique National park!
Tour plan:
Departure from Niš in front of the hotel at 07:30 a.m. We travel on the single carriageway road through the Sićevo Gorge to Pirot, from where we continue to the very heart of Balkan Mountain and to Rsovci, an enchanting village nestled on the left bank of the Visočica river. We set out on a hiking track to the middle part of the canyon built by the very Visočica river. At first, we follow a dirt road that runs down stream to the point where the mountain track begins. We follow the track which, after a while, ends. Without a mountain track, the tour turns into a real adventure. We arrive at the point where we steeply go down the rock towards the bottom part of the canyon to the very entrance of the Vladikine Ploče cave. The cave’s entrance is 28 high, and 11 meters wide. The total length of the explored canals is 2400 m, while the length of the canals we are going to pass through is 660 meters (“the Old canal”). After touring the cave, we return by the same route to the starting point of the adventure. Arrival in Niš in the evening hours. End of the program.
