Arrival and pick up in Belgrade

- Arrival in Belgrade airport - Transfer to city of Valjevo (1,5h) - Tour of Gradac (optional) - Overnight stay Your guide will pick you up at Belgrade Airport. After packing our bags, we head on to the mountain town of Valjevo (1.5 hours) where we’ll prepare for our upcoming adventure. Depending on the available time, we’ll today take a short hike to explore river Gradac, located in the vicinity of Valjevo. It is considered to be one of the cleanest of its kind in the Balkans, its waters being completely drinkable. The canyon surrounding it is tucked between myriad of hills and cliffs, accessible only by foot. Our walk is about 4-5 km long, which we’ll take to get to know each other and discuss our canyoning adventure that lies ahead. We will venture into the canyon through a paved road leaning against the river itself, crossing it from time to time and even bathing in it during our breaks. Our journey through the canyon will last about 2-3 hours. In case the water is too cold, all participants will receive neoprene socks, which will keep them warm. The trek will end at the Celije Monastery. Despite its remote and secluded location, the monastery has been razed and rebuilt several times since its creation in the 13th Century. After touring the site you’ll be driven back to your accommodation for a well-deserved dinner and good night rest. Read more
