Nature of Serbia : holiday on the move - National Tourism ...

Resava Cave
behind it wonders that geologists refer
to as outgrowths. These Small, Large
and Dry outgrowths were described by
Austro-Hungarian Felix Kanitz, a famous
naturalist, geographer and Balkanologist, as
well as a great friend <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Serbia</strong>n people.
One <strong>of</strong> them even conceals within a small
lake <strong>of</strong> unusual beauty. Suplja (Hollow)
Rock is another magnificent stone bridge
that the river formed with its powerful
flow. However, the list <strong>of</strong> geomorphologic
wonders <strong>of</strong> this region does not stop there.
Near the Hollow Rock, from the darkness
<strong>of</strong> the cave, flows a small river known as the
Beli Izvorac (White Source), which flows
over cascading rocks, creating waterfalls <strong>of</strong>
outstanding beauty.
SILVER LAKE
In the mysterious, undulating, fairytale area
near Ram Fortress, where the Danube is
more than two kilometres wide and its waters
lap against river islands, local fishermen toast
the benefits <strong>of</strong> the river with wine and the
river, in turn, gives them life – and it is here
the Silver Lake found its place. In the late
afternoon hours, when the sun has dipped
behind the Carpathians, millions <strong>of</strong> sparkles <strong>of</strong>
light make the surface <strong>of</strong> the water shimmer
and shine like silver. This extraordinarily
beautiful lake has been a popular regional
tourist centre, dubbed the <strong>Serbia</strong>n Sea, since
its creation in the 1970s, when a narrow
Danube channel along one side <strong>of</strong> a river
island was dammed to create the Silver Lake.
Tailored beaches, rich fish life, comfortable
accommodation and good restaurants provide
everything you need for a totally relaxing
<strong>holiday</strong>. The view from the nearby Ram
Fortress reveals the unusual island on the
Danube, which is there for a moment, then
disappears. Ada Cibuklija is a river island on
the Danube that sunk below the surface after
the construction <strong>of</strong> the hydroelectric dam
at Djerdap. Ada Cibuklija has an interesting
history <strong>of</strong> its own, as the place <strong>of</strong> enjoyment
for the commander <strong>of</strong> Ram Fortress, who kept
his harem there.
