Escape into nature with this two-day adventure to Vlasina Lake and the Erma River Gorge eco-trail. Begin your journey at the serene Vlasina Lake in southern Serbia, where you can relax by the water, take a boat ride, or enjoy a short hike in the peaceful surroundings. Spend the evening unwinding with a delicious dinner and overnight stay at a lakeside hotel.

On day two, explore one of Bulgaria’s most picturesque routes — the Erma Gorge, carved over millennia by the powerful Erma River. This eco-trail reveals towering rock formations, waterfalls, and dramatic limestone cliffs, offering unforgettable views and a deep connection with nature. Enjoy fresh trout in the village of Bogoyna, visit the high rock church with its panoramic views, and stop by the mystical cave church of St. Petka before returning home.
