South Serbian Nomad’s Adventure

Building on the success of Eastern Serbian Nomad’s Adventure, we take the journey further south. Stara planina left the participants in true overlander’s extasy – the sheer beauty of the mountain, the rich experience of the landscapes, combined with demanding trails, make you crave to return! So we’re starting our south Serbian journey from there. Southeast Serbia is the home to all the highest Serbian mountains, giving you the opportunity to float on endless grassy ridges. The kind of landscape typical for Stara planina goes on for an entire week in this tour, revealing to the participants mountains such as Ruj, Vardenik, Suva, Besna Kobila and Dukat.

Lost world of eastern Serbia – video

Better late than never – we’ve finally produced the video from the fantastic tour we’ve guided for Lost World Adventures in July / August 2016. The participants were truly overwhelmed, and we believe eastern Serbia just doesn’t get any better than that. Take a look at this great video…

and, of course, take a look at the photo album with more than 250 selected images from 10 days of this tour.

Nomadic journey of south Serbia

Serbia is sort of a newcomer to the European adventure travel market – having fewer mountains higher than 2000 m than the surrounding countries, it was always regarded as less attractive and less wild by enthusiasts. But is it really so?

South Serbian Nomad’s Adventure

Magic of eastern Serbia, part two

Building on the success of Eastern Serbian Nomad’s Adventure, we take the journey further south. Stara planina left the participants in true overlander’s extasy – the sheer beauty of the mountain, the rich experience of the landscapes, combined with demanding trails, make you crave to return! So we’re starting our south Serbian journey from there. Southeast Serbia is the home to all the highest Serbian mountains, giving you the opportunity to float on endless grassy ridges. The kind of landscape typical for Stara planina goes on for an entire week in this tour, revealing to the participants mountains such as Ruj, Vardenik, Suva, Besna Kobila and Dukat.

There will be TWO South Serbian Nomad’s Adventure tours in 2016 – one in July, and the other in September. For more info and application form please visit the tour announcement on Rustika Travel website.

Sretenjski karavan 2012

Izveštaj napisao: Aleksandar Veljković

Ekstremne količine snega koje su pale ove zime stavile su na veliko iskušenje sve organizatore tradicionalnih ofroud karavana, a za najegzotičniji od njih, Sretenjski, koji se odvija po najvišem grebenu Dukat planine, bila je to gotovo nepremostiva prepreka. Prvo je termin karavana odložen za dve nedelje, ali se pokazalo da čak i 10. i 11. marta, i pored maksimalnog angažovanja teške mehanizacije od strane domaćina iz Bosilegrada, jednostavno nije moguće u tom trenutku probiti put na trasi od Trgovišta preko Radovnice i Zagranja do Bosilegrada.

Zato je ove godine trasa karavana izmenjena, tako što je prilagođena realnim trenutnim mogućnostima – oba dana su se odvijala na manjim nadmorskim visinama na planinama oko Bosilegrada, gde je snega bilo u podnošljivim količinama. A višemetarski smetovi na visokim grebenima Dukata, Besne Kobile i Vardenika, očigledno će se otapati do duboko u proleće…
