About the station DONJI MILANOVAC

Donji Milanovac is a town in eastern Serbia, situated in the Majdanpek municipality, in the Bor District, located on the right bank of Lake Đerdap on the Danube. The management office of Đerdap national park is located in the town.

Donji Milanovac lies on remains of an 8000-year-old Mesolithic settlement of the Lepenski Vir, and of the Roman town of Taliata. Since the founding of the first settlement, Donji Milanovac was moved three times. It was originally established as a settlement called Banja which was moved some 10 km upstream, on the island of Poreč during the 17th century.

In 1830, due to frequent flooding, Prince Miloš ordered the town be moved to the nearest, right bank, so it was resettled 2 km downstream, at the mouth of river Oreškovica into the Danube. It became the first town in Serbia built by architectural planning. After construction of the "Đerdap I" hydroelectric power station in 1970, the town was moved again to its present location, another 6 km downstream, and the old site was completely flooded by the Lake Đerdap in 1971.

Lepenski Vir is an important Mesolithic archaeological site located 15 kilometers from Donji Milanovac. The latest radiocarbon and AMS data suggests that the chronology of Lepenski Vir is compressed between 9500/7200-6000 BC. There is some disagreement about the early start of the settlement and culture of Lepenskir Vir. But the latest data suggest 9500-7200 to be the start.

The Church of St. Nicholas is located in the centre of Donji Milanovac. It was built in 1840 thanks to captain Miša Anastasijević. Captain Miša's konak and Tenka's house have been proclaimed cultural heritage of Serbia. There is a monument to the 1912-1918 wars (Balkan Wars, First World War), and a mammoth sculpture. Another noted monument is the Roman Tabula Traiana.

In 1972 a hotel "Lepenski Vir" was built and the town beach was arranged. The area became a popular camping location as, due to the climate, there are no mosquitos. Donji Milanovac and the gorge are situated on the European bicycle corridor and the Đerdap highway, the shortest connection between Belgrade and Bucharest, Romania, and further with the Black Sea. The town also has a pier, which is today mostly used by the foreign river cruisers.

About the destination KRALJEVO

Kraljevo is a city and the seat of the territorial unit of the same name in Serbia. It is located at the confluence of three rivers: Ibar, Zapadna Morava and Ribnica. Together with Kragujevac and Čačak, Kraljevo is an important cultural and administrative center of Central Serbia. This area has been inhabited since the distant past. Archaeological data reveal the presence of Greek and Roman influences. The village of Rudo Polje, from which Kraljevo originated, was founded in the second half of the 14th century. Since the Turkish occupation, the name Karanovac has become familiar. The city received its current name in 1882 when Serbia was proclaimed a kingdom.

In addition to its role as a municipal and administrative center, the city of Kraljevo also plays the role of an economic, trade and industrial center of southwestern Serbia, a center where almost all economic capacities are concentrated. The greatest influence on economic developments in the city is exerted by trade and processing industries. These are also the sectors in which the largest number of companies in the city of Kraljevo operate. Thanks to its favorable geographical location, Kraljevo has also become a major traffic intersection in the country. There are many spa resorts in the area: Vrnjačka, Mataruška, Bogutovačka, Vitanovačka and Sirčanska banja, which are also famous tourist attractions. The Orthodox monasteries of Žiča and Studenica, located near the city, are also famous.

The bus station is located on Oktobarskih žrtava Street, in the immediate vicinity of the train station and the city center. Given the well-developed public transport network and the existence of taxi services, the Kraljevo bus station is well connected to the city center.
