ST407 Smederevska Palanka - Markovac
The route passes Stojačak, Radovanje and Rakinac before arriving at Markovac.
The landscape is characterised by cultivated fields, orchards, and small villages connected by roads that have linked the settlements of the Morava region for generations. Near Radovanje lies the oak grove associated with the assassination of Karađorđe in 1817, an event that marked a turning point in the history of modern Serbia.
The stage ends in Markovac, situated near the main transport route that continues south through the Morava valley toward Niš.
