SOMRDA (Somrdski kamen 803 m)

Mountain Somrda raises above the National park of Djerdap. It is its highest point.

The starting point of the ascent is Ciganski potok (Gypsy’s creek), which is less than a kilometer far from the canyon of the river Boljetin. The distance between Belgrade and Ciganski potok is 170 km (2.5 hours by car). The total length of the trail is 21 km, with 700 m of ascent. The trail is partially marked, but the markings are pale. Good orientation and a good map are essential. The return is by the same way back. On the way back, you can visit the small canyon of the river Boljetin and the fortress in Golubac.
