Tour plan:
Departure from Niš, in front of the hotel, at 07:00 a.m. We travel along a single-carriageway road through the Sićevo Gorge to Pirot, and then into the very heart of the Balkan Mountains. Passing through the stunning villages of the Balkans, we arrive at the authentic mountain village of Topli Do. We set out on a hiking tour through the Javorska River valley to the Koljćin Waterfall (Koljća’s Leap). The Koljćin Waterfall is located at the highest elevation of all waterfalls in the Javorska River basin. Due to its distance from Topli Do and the inaccessible terrain leading to it, the waterfall has remained unknown to the wider public. The unmarked trail leading to the Koljćin Waterfall is 24 km long and very strenuous, requiring a high level of physical fitness and excellent agility. Return to the village via Dugo Bilo. Transfer to Niš in the evening hours. End of program.
