Distance and timing basis

The recorded total and the leg detail need reconciliation. Inspect the leg notes before using this record for timing or navigation. Stops, delays, approach and any separate return travel add time. Basis: producer-declared routed record.

Reading history stays on this device. My road watch requires a separate selection; opening it does not subscribe this ride.

Distance and riding time are measured on the routed road. Check local closures and conditions before you ride.

Waypoint introductions and full write-ups

  1. 1. Užice

    Užice is built into a canyon. The Đetinja River has cut a narrow gorge through the hills of western Serbia, and the town spreads along it, with the ruins of its old fortress stuck onto a rocky spur above the water. People have defended this chokepoint for centuries, first the medieval Serbs, then the Ottomans, who rebuilt the fortress, and the town still feels hemmed in and a little defiant. With nearly sixty-four thousand people it is the main city of the Zlatibor region.

    Planning note

    Užice sits at 0 km, early in the day. Next is Bajina Bašta.

  2. 2. Bajina Bašta

    Bajina Bašta lies on the Drina in western Serbia, at the point where the river leaves the deep canyons of the upper valley and begins to widen, and it is the main town at the edge of Tara National Park. The mountain of Tara rises directly behind it, covered in dark spruce and fir, and on a clear day the contrast between the green forest and the pale cliffs of the canyon is striking. The town itself is modest, with about eight thousand people, a long main street and a river promenade, and it has a relaxed, small-town character.
