DAY TRIP – MCGREGOR SINKHOLE

Stara Planina is always inspiring! This time we’re heading to some lesser-known corners to discover what hidden gems await us there. They say there is a mysterious sinkhole where three rivers meet and disappear into the unknown — its name is Ponor. They also say there are many waterfalls in the area, and one of them, Tupavica, is waiting especially for us!

DATE: 27.06.2026

Travel Program:

NOVI SAD – BELGRADE – DOJKINCI – PONOR – TUPAVICA

ROUTE LENGTH: 16 km
ELEVATION GAIN: 700 m
DIFFICULTY: MODERATE–CHALLENGING

Departure on 27.06.2026 from NOVI SAD (ATP Vojvodina location around midnight), continuing to BELGRADE (near Sava Center around 1:00 AM). (The exact departure time and meeting point will be sent one day before departure.) After that, we continue with a relaxed drive toward Stara Planina, with breaks for rest and border crossing procedures.

In the early morning hours, we arrive at the small village of Dojkinci. Our hike begins with an ascent through a beautiful old forest before reaching the endless pastures beneath the Kopren Plateau. Here we will visit a unique cave called Ponor. This is the place where three small mountain rivers merge and create a spectacular waterfall, after which their flow disappears and continues deep underground.

As the hike continues, we descend toward the famous Tupavica Waterfall, where we’ll have the chance to enjoy the fascinating interaction of water and rock, especially due to its beautiful cascading appearance.

After the activity, we’ll have a lunch break, followed by our return journey. Arrival back at the departure point is expected around midnight, depending on road and border conditions.
