Selected alternatives for you
    This route is a stage of Section ST4 of the Sultans Trail, an international long-distance hiking trail from Vienna to Istanbul. The hiking route follows historic roads through eight countries (Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Greece and Turkey), linking towns and villages in a traditional cultural and historic landscape.

    The route passes underneath the new railway bridge across the Veliki Morava River before heading to Paraćin.

    Leaving Ćuprija, the trail continues south through the broad valley of the Velika Morava. Soon after departing the town, the route passes beneath the new railway bridge crossing the river, part of the modern infrastructure upgrades linking Central Europe with Istanbul along the historic north–south route through the Balkans.

    This landscape has carried movement for centuries. Roman roads, Ottoman military expeditions, caravans, railways, and modern motorways have all followed the Morava valley, using the same natural passage between the Danube basin and the peninsula's interior.

    The stage continues across the flat agricultural plain toward Paraćin, another town that developed along this enduring line of travel.

    Author’s recommendation

    Paraćin, has a few small cultural landmarks close to the town centre.

    Zavičajni muzej Paraćin, a local museum presenting archaeological finds from the Morava valley and regional ethnographic material.

    Villa Nikolić, a late‑19th‑century town villa now used for exhibitions and cultural events.

    Roadbook

    From Ćuprija, the trail follows the Great Morava River upstream toward Paraćin, keeping close to the river’s grassy dyke as it winds through one of Serbia’s most fertile agricultural valleys. The walk unfolds between wide arable fields and the quiet ponds of several fish farms, where herons and waterfowl often gather along the banks. With the Morava flowing steadily beside it and low hills rising in the distance, this gentle riverside stage offers an easy, open approach to Paraćin, a town long shaped by the routes that follow the river north and south.
