About the station NOVI PAZAR

Novi Pazar is a city in Serbia, in the region of Raška, or Sandžak. It is located 297 km south of Belgrade, on a section of the old road that leads to Podgorica and the Adriatic Sea via the Ibar highway. It is located in the star-shaped valley of the Jošanica, Raška, Deževska and Ljudska rivers, at an altitude of 496 m. It is surrounded by the high mountains of Golija and Rogozna and the Pešter plateau.

The founder of Novi Pazar was Isa-beg Ishaković, who built the city in the middle of the 15th century in the immediate vicinity of the medieval settlement of Trgovište, known as Ras. Novi Pazar has a turbulent and rich history. The special value of this multiethnic and multicultural space, where Western and Eastern civilizations meet, is made up of numerous cultural and historical monuments, including Peter's Church, Đurdevi Stupovi, Sopoćani Monastery, the City Fortress with the Observation Tower, Altun-alem Mosque, Amir-agin Han...

The social economy is mostly inactive, unlike the private sector, which is very developed. The greatest resource of Novi Pazar is creative people, who in recent decades, without anyone's help, have founded a large number of private small and medium-sized enterprises, numbering over 6,000. Over 500 private enterprises are engaged in the production of clothing, footwear and furniture, while the rest are mainly engaged in service activities and trade. Freight transport and passenger traffic also play a significant role, with over 2,650 companies for the transport of goods and passengers.

In addition to natural and human resources, as well as numerous cultural monuments, Novi Pazar has great potential for sustainable development - the production of healthy food and the development of all forms of tourism.

About the destination 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.
