Homolje Gold Rush 2016

Written by
Aleksandar Veljković

After the experience with the “winter tour” in April last year we wanted the beginning of the springtime season of Rustika Travel tours to be a true springtime event, with minimum risk of snow, and lots of mud and a chance to watch the nature sprouting and waking up after the winter sleep. So we decided to make it in the lower mountains of northeast Serbia, where the risk of late winter conditions wasn’t so great like in the higher mountains. And it turned out we managed to hit the point – the tour was a 100% success! 😎

Homolje rivertrail fun

Written by

Homolje mountains aren’t tall – they hardly exceed 1000 m at their highest point, but they’re a fantastic 4×4 playground of interconnected ridges with steep sides and numerous smaller and bigger stream and river valleys, ideal for exploring and searching creative ways to reach places. Springtime stretches a carpet of flowery meadows over Homolje, and early springtime such as the beginning of March (technically still winter) gives a rare opportunity to experience mud challenges while the higher mountains are still under a thick snow cover. This was one of such early springtime ventures into the wonders of Homolje.

Our February 4×4 adventures

This February has been a very active month for us. First we’ve (in cooperation with Rustika Travel) successfully conducted Serbian Snow Adventure, and a week later visited our friends from Jeep Club Romania (AJCR) who celebrated their 4th anniversary in Baia de Fier in the Carpathians, from February 12th to 14th.

Homoljsko-Kučajske zimske čarolije

Tokom januara 2016. godine smo na Homoljsko-Kučajskom području bili vrlo aktivni, dokazavši u više navrata da nadaleko čuveni Kučajski smetovi ne moraju biti prepreka za prolaz preko ovog prostranstva impozantne divljine istočne Srbije. 10. januara smo, u saradnji sa prijateljima iz kluba Resava 4×4 i etno domaćinstvom Milanović iz Lipovice u konvoju od 13 terenaca uspeli u osvajanju Beljanice, iako dubina snega na prilazima vrhu nije bila nimalo naivna.

Cer i Bogatić – snežna planina i topla voda

(local event)

U subotu 23. januara družićemo se malo sa pešacima našeg kluba na Ceru, da bismo zatim svi zajedno uživali u blagodetima termalnih bazena “Termalne rivijere” u Bogatiću.

Mi motorizovani ćemo proveriti dubinu snega na šumskim putevima između manastira Radovašnica i Lipove vode, skoknuti do Trojanovog grada, ali i provozati se dalje na zapad, u dubine cerskih šuma u kojima nas pešaci neće pratiti. Nemamo striktan plan niti zacrtanu kilometražu, niti će ovo biti bilo kakav zahtevan ili opasan ofroud. Ali, sve to ne znači da na njemu ima mesta za šminkerska, nepodignuta SUV vozila na asfaltnim gumičicama i bez reduktora, jer ona takva kakva jesu prilično izvesno neće moći da stignu čak ni do Lipove vode.

Dakle, ko je raspoložen za jednodnevno druženje, dobrodošao je. Samo me zvrcnite na 064 1159852 da znam da dolazite. Krećemo sa velikog parkinga sa zadnje strane centra “Sava” u subotu 23. januara tačno u 7:00 h.

 

Kučajsko zimsko izviđanje

(local event)

Zima ove godine dolazi i odlazi, menjajući izgled naših planina svako malo. Vikend pre velike zimske ture Rustika Travel-a odlazimo u izvidnicu po Kučajskim planinama, ne bismo li proverili količinu snega i generalno stanje terena i staza, kako bismo preciznije isplanirali kretanje na turi koja će biti nedelju dana kasnije. Dobri poznavaoci znaju da je svako 4×4 špartanje tim najvećim nenaseljenim prostranstvom Srbije prava avantura, i da obećava nezaboravne doživljaje i zanimljiva otkrića. Pridružite nam se da istražujemo Kučaj u januaru zajedno!

Još nije izvesno da li ćemo ovu skauting turu započeti u subotu ili nedelju, kao i kada ćemo je tačno okončati (ponedeljak, možda utorak). Što se tiče spavanja, najverovatnije ćemo za konak odabrati Sisevac (sajt http://sisevac.rs/), gde imaju odličan smeštaj i jedan spoljni termalni bazen (molimo da sami rezervišete ako biste nam se pridružili, a nama samo javite da dolazite, da se dogovorimo o mestu i vremenu okupljanja).
