Dear friends,

We are pleased to present to you an innovative idea that will make hiking even more accessible and exciting. We are ready to change the way we organize hiking tours and allow you to enjoy them in a completely new way!

Our idea is simple: we organize hiking trips using private vehicles, where participants will share the travel costs based on the departure location. Whether you are starting from Belgrade or Novi Sad, this option allows you to reduce transportation costs and enjoy the camaraderie.

Best of all, the price of the hiking tour will be separate from the transportation costs, which means you can customize your budget and choose the tours that appeal to you the most. This concept enables you to explore different mountain peaks, landscapes, and trails according to your interests and capabilities.

WHAT ARE WE PLANNING?

• Prayer or two to be sent into the ether, from the most famous viewpoints that this country can offer us.
• The company of the rare masters of the celestial expanses, the famous Griffon Vultures, protected celestial cruisers, and untouchable mythical birds.
• The hermitage of Saint Sava, hidden from himself, nestled not far from its opposite, the city of the Cursed Jerina, Hisardžik Mosque, a religious whirlpool.
