Vinci on the Danube – Cycle Path, Golubac Fortress and Cultural Heritage
Vinci is a weekend settlement on the banks of the Danube, nestled in a pine forest. For travel planning, the place combines a clearly recognizable landscape with an easy walking and cycling route to Golubac as well as several cultural attractions. Depending on your focus, you can put the Danube route, archaeological traces in Vinci or the reconstructed fortress at the entrance to the Đerdap Gorge in the foreground. The Umka–Kuzmin Brdo archaeological site is one of Vinci’s cultural attractions.
Key facts about Vinci
The developed walking and cycling path from Vinci to Golubac is 8,790 meters long and runs together with the EuroVelo 6 route. It begins at the marina in Vinci, follows the banks of the Danube to Golubac and is classified as an easy route. The 8,790 meters refers to the developed cycling route; the easy classification applies to the walking and cycling path between Vinci and Golubac. The length and classification therefore refer to different characteristics of the same path.

At Umka–Kuzmin Brdo in Vinci, remains of a Roman fortification have been preserved. Stone fortification walls and cultural layers are partially visible. The wall sections and cultural layers bear witness to the continuity of life at this military outpost. The Tuman Monastery is of religious and cultural-historical significance.
What cultural attractions does Golubac offer?
The reconstructed Golubac Fortress has nine towers connected by defensive walls.

What attractions are located along the Danube?
There is a tourist train ride along the Danube to the weekend settlement of Vinci.
