South Banat District: Nature, Trails and Culture

Striking elevations and protected landscapes

South Banat District can be explored through striking elevations, protected landscapes, trails for active days and distinctive cultural destinations. Gudurički vrh is 641 metres high and the highest point in Vojvodina. Most of the forest area of the Vršačke planine, covering 4,177 hectares, has been protected as a nature park since 1982. Humka Hill is located in the surroundings of South Banat. Terezina Hum Hill is located in the surroundings of South Banat. Veliki Breg Hill is located in the surroundings of South Banat. Velika Mogila Hill is located in the surroundings of South Banat.

Routes for cyclists and active days

The Čardak–Vrela circular route is 12 kilometres long, of moderate difficulty, suitable for cycling and connectable to the international EuroVelo cycling route. When planning a day, the 12 kilometres of the circular route, its moderate difficulty and the possible EuroVelo connection can be considered together. The Borovi-breg trail is 15 kilometres long and is suitable for off-road cycling and fitness training. The two routes therefore differ both in length and in their designated cycling profiles. For a comparison of the routes, both the 12 and 15 kilometres and the different cycling profiles are therefore relevant. The EuroVelo connection and the off-road profile belong to different routes.

Water, exercise and nature observation

Devojački bunar has two outdoor swimming pools as well as walking trails, fitness trails, sports fields and playgrounds. The trails and fitness trails, as well as the sports fields and playgrounds, are further offerings at Devojački bunar. The Belocrkvanska lakes are suitable for leisure, sports, fishing and birdwatching tourism and feature aquatic habitats. In Deliblatska peščara, Banat peonies, fern-leaved peonies, Pančić's wormwood and up to 20 orchid species can be observed. Those interested in nature can include the aquatic habitats of the Belocrkvanska lakes and the observable plants in Deliblatska peščara in their day planning.
