    From Mihajlovac, the trail continues south through the fertile lowlands of central Serbia. The route passes the villages of Dobri Do and Golobok, following local roads through rolling hills and a landscape of fields, orchards, and scattered farmsteads.

    This area forms part of the broad agricultural plain connected to the Morava basin, where travel routes between Belgrade, Niš, and Constantinople have crossed the Serbian interior for centuries. The countryside remains predominantly rural, with long stretches between settlements.

    The stage concludes in Smederevska Palanka, a town that developed along the main road and railway linking northern and southern Serbia.

    Author’s recommendation

    In Smederevska Palanka, a few small cultural landmarks sit close to the town centre.

    The National Museum, showing a compact collection of finds from the Starčevo culture and later Roman and medieval periods.

    The Palanacki Kiseljak, the local mineral spring, has long been used for its naturally carbonated water.

    Roadbook

    Between Mihajlovac and Smederevska Palanka, the trail wanders through softly rolling hills and a predominantly rural landscape, following quiet lanes and field tracks that thread between orchards, grain fields, and scattered farmsteads. Only two villages punctuate this peaceful stretch: Dobri Do, a small settlement surrounded by cultivated slopes, and Golobok, where traditional houses cluster along the roadside. The countryside here forms a gentle transition between the Danube basin and the Morava plain, offering a calm, pastoral stage shaped by agriculture and the slow rhythms of central Serbia.
