    Leaving Smederevo, the trail turns away from the Danube and enters the agricultural landscape of central Serbia. The route passes through the villages of Vučak, Ralja, and Vrbovac, following quiet local roads and field tracks across gently rolling terrain.

    This region lies between the Danube and the Great Morava basin, an area long shaped by movement between Central Europe and the Balkans. Villages are scattered across fertile farmland, with orchards, vineyards, and small patches of woodland accompanying the route.

    The stage ends in Mihajlovac, a rural settlement set within the broad plains east of the Morava valley.

    Author’s recommendation

    Roadbook

    Leaving Smederevo, the trail turns away from the Danube and enters the broad agricultural heartland of central Serbia, following quiet lanes and field tracks through the villages of Vučak, Ralja, and Vrbovac. This gently rolling region lies between the Danube and the Great Morava basin, a historic corridor of movement between Central Europe and the Balkans, where scattered settlements sit among orchards, vineyards, and pockets of woodland. The landscape opens gradually as the route approaches Mihajlovac, a rural community set within the wide plains east of the Morava valley, marking the end of a stage shaped by farmland, quiet roads, and the long rhythms of Serbia’s interior countryside.
