Belgrade and the Iron Gates

From the fortress of Ram, about 100km downstream from Belgrade, the Danube winds its way between the Carpathian Mountains and the Balkans. Following the border between Serbia and Romania through steep-sided gorges dominated by Mediaeval castles, this is one of the most spectacular sections of EuroVelo 6.

Little Gem

A few kilometres before Vidin, at the Serbia-Bulgaria border, turn off the main route and cycle the short distance to the Visocko brdo wine region and the wine-producing villages of Rogljevo and Rajacke.
