Departure from Belgrade – We start the tour by picking you up from your hotel and after a short ride around Belgrade, we will continue our trip on the Milos the Great Highway towards the southwest.
After a two-hour ride, we arrive at our first stop. Podrinje Gate is a viewpoint at Bajina Bašta municipality, located at 925 meters above sea level, next to the Valjevo-Bajina Bašta highway. This place presents the point from which starts the entrance to the magical Drina valley and our acquaintance with the beauties of Podrinje region. From this viewpoint, there is an exquisite view over the mountain area of Bajina Bašta municipality and our neighbor Republika Srpska.
After a half an hour ride we arrive at the Bosnia and Herzegovina border and Drina River to our second stop. A little wooden house on an isolated rock in the middle of the Drina River became a true world attraction. This house located at Bajina Bašta resists nature for 45 years, and after National Geographic magazine devoted one of its issues to it, Daily Mail also wrote about this magical handmade piece. Recently, Business Insider also mentioned it and ranked it top 16 weirdest houses in the world. The Little House on Drina is a symbol of Bajina Bašta and one of the most famous river landmarks in Serbia and the whole Podrinje region, also known as Zelenika. In time, it became so popular that there are thousands of newspapers, televisions, internet portals, and tourist brochures that daily bring stories, videos, and images of the famous house on the rock.
Sargan eight is the most attractive tourist-museum railway in Europe and is also known as a unique construction masterpiece in the world among narrow gauge railways. This railway connected Belgrade and Sarajevo from 1925 to 1974.

Surrounded by three mountains, cut by river valleys that partly turn into gorges, rich with mountain streams and springs, waste forests, and flowery meadows, Mokra Gora is one of the most impressive sights in Europe. The train ‘Nostalgia’ is an original and authentic locomotive made with restored wagons.
