The route passes through Brestovik, Seone, and Udovice before arriving in Smederevo.
This stretch approaches the lower Morava region, where roads from the Danube and the Balkan interior have converged since antiquity. The countryside remains largely rural, with broad views across the river plain and toward the distant hills.
The stage concludes in Smederevo, the last great medieval capital of the Serbian Despotate. Its vast fortress on the Danube marks one of the most important strategic points along the river and guarded the entrance to the Morava valley leading south toward Niš and Constantinople.
