Auto Kamp Srebrno Jezero

Well, you’d have to start with a walk by the Danube, wouldn’t you? The mighty river has inspired much poetry, painting and music over the years, so who knows what kind of muse might take you as you stroll (perhaps snapping a few pics, at the least…). Once you’ve strolled locally, notch the stunning river views up even further with a trip to Djerdap National Park (25 minutes’ drive), where the water cuts through huge craggy cliffs (and no doubt inspires even more pic snapping). Walks should be fairly straightforward here, as there are marked paths to follow; cyclists can follow the EuroVelo 6 path instead. This gorgeous area isn’t a recent discovery – folk have been admiring it for many a century, and leaving behind remnants of lives that make for fine days out now. The medieval Ram Fortress (20 minutes) and Golubac Fortress (25 minutes) are both worth a visit, as are the remains of the Roman city of Viminacium (45 minutes). For real history though, you can’t miss an outing to Lepenski Vir (55 minutes), a Stone Age archeological site said to be the oldest urban settlement in all of Europe.
