The trip to the rail way is 3+ hours long, but we enjoyed talking to her very much. The railway was fun, kids loved it! The mountains and natures were beautiful, it is totally different from what you see in Belgrade or to north part of Serbia. If anyone has extra day in Serbia, I’d recommend this trip very much.”
