This year, Race Tour de Serbie will last 6 days, with 350 participa It has been more then 20 years since the last time I was in Serbia. A few months ago I read in some magazine an article about Serbia and its national parks, cultural heritage and travel opportunities. So, I decided to spend my summer holiday in the country of my ancestors. As a passionate outdoor lover I had an idea to have some active holiday so I started to do some researching. I have bought the Serbia Bradt Travel guide book (http://www.bradtguides.com ) and there I found the local adventure travel company (ACE Cycling and Mountaineering Center http://www.ace-adventurecentre.com ) who offered tailor made trips in Serbia and Montenegro. Anyhow, I landed on Belgrade's airport on Sunday afternoon with my cousin Tanja and friend Lars where Misa from ACE was already waiting for us. I felt much more comfortable when I saw his smiling face and warm welcome. I knew that this guy would take care of us properly. Shortly we were on the way to Sokobanja spa which is some 250km away from Belgrade. A cheerful host talked about the Serbian people, history and nature and we did not even notice that we were already in front of our pension in Sokobanja. There we met Sasa who runs ACE Center along with his brother Misa. We enjoyed a welcome drink in the pension restaurant when Sasa gave us some hand-made brochures with artistic maps of our daily itineraries. Brochures were made just for our tour and I still keep mine one as a souvenir. Next morning Sasa and Misa set our bicycles in the pension backyard and we were ready for an adventure. Every bike had a tag with name on it and all bicycles were equipped with bags and map holders where we found maps with highlighted routes for every single tour. After a 15 minute ride Sasa signaled to us and we jumped off our bicycles and parked them against a little hut. A few minutes later we met Golub who waited for us in a water mill. The mill was a couple hundred years old but surprisingly it was still in good shape. We watched how the water moved the wheels below the small house which then transferred the rotation to massive stones that grind corn seeds and turn them into the fine flour. Golub made some herbal bread and herbal juice for us so we enjoyed this short break with all our senses. We continued our ride through the peaceful countryside and villages. When we arrived in Josanica village (another spa) the next surprise was waiting for us. Misa had set a wonderful picnic lunch in the shade of some fir trees. That was just what we needed- something to renew our energy before we hit 5 km long unpaved section on the slopes of Rtanj Mountain. The ride was excellent, especially 8 km downhill at the end. But that was not all. In Sokobanja we took a short stroll through the main pedestrian street and we came to the old Turkish bath. Next moment I sank into the warm water and I felt how my body celebrates this natural gift. I felt like in heaven. Hot mineral water comes from the earth and fills round marble baths laid into the old Turkish style building. There are two pools, one for men and another one for ladies but as we were the only guests that time, lady who works there allowed us to bathe together. It was the perfect end of the first day in a country where my roots are coming from. The following day we left our bicycles to rest and we did a 6 hour long hike on Ozren Mountain. Our path followed a small river and our first stop was the waterfall Ripaljka. Our goal was a small forest church called St. Archangel. We have walked in a moderate pace and listened to our guides who introduced the regional flora and fauna. We all got lovely paper bags with herbs gathered along our walking path by our guides. On each bag there was a printed portrait of a plant and suggestion for its use. The same night I enjoyed a cup of tea made out of my freshly picked Thyme. "I will be spoilt after this vacation" said Tanja. We are dining on the terrace of a charming mountain chalet in the middle of Sicevo Gorge. Lars and I have just finished our creamy leek soup when we see Misa approaching with the second course- Vegetable Terrine. Fresh fruits and vegetables are something that you have to try in Serbia. Our hosts do not care abut our weight. We continue with the Beef Stroganoff and hot Svrljig Cheese salad. It is a royal feast. For desert we have Chocolate Cake with strawberries. Sasa and Misa are kings of the cuisine. They make us eat all the food they have served because we already burned enough calories today. And indeed, we had one more marvelous day of cycling. Although we skipped the biggest climb at the begging we did some good 60km from Sokobanja to Nis. The van picked us up on the saddle between Ozren and Device Mountain so we could cycle on flat and downhill road through forests and peaceful meadows of south-east Serbia. If you have time it is worthy to visit the city of Nis. It has the best preserved Turkish citadel in the Balkans and the terrifying Skull Tower from 19th century built by the Turks. There is also a Roman city of Mediana where the Emperor Constantine the Great was born. Mediana includes a huge Emperors palace which served as his summer residence. Pirot is a small town close to Bulgarian border. We stopped there to visit women weavers of famous Pirotski Kilim. Pirot rugs are completely hand made, exactly the same way as 400 years ago. They are definitely unique, full of symbolism and have Byzantine, Greek, Chinese and Turkish elements modified by Pirot's page 1 / 5 spinners imaginations and skills. Shortly after Pirot town we jumped on our bicycles again. Narrow asphalt road follows small river Jerma. Canyon of the Jerma river is spectacular but the real pearl is 14th century Orthodox Monastery Poganovo hidden among high rocks and attractive nature. There, in the authentic 14th century settings we had another lovely picnic lunch. One by one all seven days of our Serbian trip flew off. Every one of them sealed some emotion, picture, smell and taste in my mind. I met wonderful people and the land of my parents. I have so much to tell my family and friends about places I saw and things I experienced. I did not say goodbye to Serbia but see you soon again.

It is situated in South-Eastern Europe, on the Balkan Peninsula, at the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers. It is one of the oldest cities in Europe and has since ancient times been an important focal point for traffic, an intersection of the roads of Eastern and Western Europe. Belgrade is the capital of Serbian culture, education, science and economy. As a result of its tumultuous history, Belgrade has for centuries been home to many nationalities, with Serbs of the Orthodox Christian religion making up the majority of the population [90%]. The official language is Serbian, while visitors from abroad can use English to communicate. The climate in Belgrade is a moderate continental one, with an average daytime temperature of 11.7C. Belgrade is in the Central European Time [CET] zone [GMT+1 hour]. Summer time [GMT+2 hours] lasts from the end of March until the end of October. The official currency is the dinar [RSD], but Euros can be exchanged freely. The Belgrade area code for domestic calls is 011 and for international calls ++381-11. The first settler of the territory of present day Belgrade date back to four thousand years B.C. and nearby Vinca is a prehistoric location with remains of prehistoric man [neolithic plastics]. The oldest known name for Belgrade is Singidunum, a compound word probably made of the name of the Dacian tribe called Singi and the Celtic word dunum, which means fortress. This interpretation is based on the belief that the name of the settlement came about when the Celts migrated here and mixed with the indigenous population. The conquering Romans maintained the name of the settlement. With the division of the Roman Empire in 395, Singidunum passed over to the Eastern Empire and became Singidon. In the 6th century, Slavs gradually started settling in the area. The stone built fortress rising above the rivers was dubbed Beli Grad [white city]. The name Beograd is officially mentioned for the first time in 878 by Pope John VIII.

  • Travel Gives You Wings... for GROUPS
    Travel gives you wings... FOR GROUPS : “DISCOVER THE CULTURES OF THE BALKANS “IN 12 DAYS INTRODUCTION During this tour you will discover a very special place in Europe marked by the dominant trade route in the Mediterranean until the 17th century, connecting Europe with Asia Minor. The trade route was already in use by the Celts, then appeared the Greeks, the Romans and finally the Slavs in the 7th century AD. This parade of civilizations happened before the eyes of the local population, the Illyrians, a people of shepherds, ancestors of today’s Albanians. This part of Europe was first dominated by Byzantium, then two great powers will fight for supremacy: Republics of Venice and Dubrovnik. Division of the Roman Empire was the event that marked the cultures. The border between the Eastern and Western Roman Empire goes through the Balkans. This separation will finally cause the schism in the Middle Age between the Catholic and Orthodox Church. The Ottoman Empire will enhance this cultural melting pot and create a colourful mosaic of local identities. The Balkans thus saw the appearance of various religious movements such as the Church of Bosnia called “Bogumil Church” or the Greek Catholic Church. The Balkans are determined by a surprising climate of tolerance and very original political systems. This tour’s goal is to emphasize this usually hidden side of South East Europe. The 20th century was marked by the nation-state creation games. Differences were weaponized in order to justify political struggles which inevitably led to great confusion. This was fertile ground for Tito's socialism seen as a gluing element which would restore the bygone harmony.

  • Paradigms of Rural Tourism in Serbia in the Function of Village Revitalisation
    HUMAN GEOGRAPHIES – Journal of Studies and Research in Human Geography (2011) 5.2, 93‐102 www.humangeographies.org.ro PARADIGMS OF RURAL TOURISM IN SERBIA IN THE FUNCTION OF VILLAGE REVITALISATION Jovo Medojevic*, Sasa Milosavljevic, Milan Punisic Faculty of Sciences‐Department of Geography, University of Pristina ‐ temporarily settled in Kosovska Mitrovica, Serbia Abstract: Rural regions in Serbia differ considerably in social, economic and demographic characteristics. Basic problems and trends almost all the rural regions share are migrations, poor diversification of economic activities, extensive agriculture, high level of unemployment, lack of employment possibilities, poor and underdeveloped infrastructure, low GDP per capita in comparison to the urban regions and unpolluted environment faced with potential threats . The subject of this paper is to point to the potentials of the rural tourism in Serbia with the aim of village revitalization, as well as its prevention from dying out. Also, the aim of the paper is to stress the fact that the rural tourism is a sustainable model of development and preservation of Serbian village and Serbian peasant from more aspects: economic, tourist, sociological, the spatial planning and ecological ones. Finally, the aim of the paper is to emphasize that it is possible to save village identity by its transformation into ethno village adopting the idea of European ethno villages. Rural tourism in Serbia must become `main` industry` and a generator of sleeping national economy. The main benefits belong to the rural households. Tourist agencies must be engaged in enabling a dialogue between their employees and local representatives. Clients must not only be observers but also critics in the spirit of trust and transparency.

    STUDY TRIP to SERBIA 24 / 25 APRIL – 3 MAY 2015 Serbia has always straddled East and West, not only in a geographical sense, but also politically and culturally. At first, Serbia found itself between the Byzantine and Roman empires, then it became a frontier between the Ottoman Empire and the Christian West. This centuries-long position in the path of conquering armies from both sides has led to constant migrations and the mixing of populations. And during communism the inhabitants of this region were somewhere between the Warsaw Pact and NATO. The result is a multiethnic, multicultural and multiconfessional society in Serbia… YOU’RE VERY WELCOME TO JOIN THE TRIP AND SERBIA DISCOVERING! Cost: 200 EUR + 400 PLN* *The price may change depending on the number of people participating in the trip. This is the highest estimated price for a group of 15 people. Places limited.

    CITY BREAK TRAVEL AS A FACTOR OF TOURISM INDUSTRY COMPETITIVENESS Milena Podovac1 Abstract Modern trends in the development of tourism indicate a growing interest of tourists for shorter but more frequent holydays in cities during the year. In addition to the main holiday during the summer season, the tourist demand is directed towards the urban destinations in order to satisfy the need for fun, relaxation, getting to know the cultural heritage, the acquisition of knowledge, etc. Consequently, cities are significant receptive destinations, and with their complex supply, they can meet the needs and demands of tourists even where seasonality is not expressed. City break travel includes holidays in a town, which usually lasts from one to three days. Although it has the character of additional leave during the year, tourists often opt for this type of travel in the time of important events or holidays. The subject of this study represents the city break travel and their role and importance for competitiveness of the tourism industry. Special attention was paid to the development of this type of holiday in the Republic of Serbia. Key words: urban tourism, city break travel, tourism, competitiveness. JEL classification: L83, M21. Introduction Urban tourism is a relatively developed market niche, especially in the areas of Europe. Modern development of tourism has caused growing interest of tourists to stay in the cities due to the creation of real conditions for travel and meeting tourism needs in the geographical areas such as urban destinations. On the other hand, tourism represents an important economis activity in all those cities which do not have developed production indutry, but which, due to their active resources, are 1 Milena Podovac, MSc, Teaching Assistant, University of Kragujevac, Faculty of Hotel Management and Tourism in Vrnjaţka Banja, VojvoŤanska 5A, tel.
