DAY 2 - Cycling from Negotin to wine villages of Rogljevo and Rajac
We’re heading out from Negotin and enjoy a morning ride through the countryside of Negotinska Krajina. We bike on the small country road through yellow sunflower fields, vineyards, villages and forests. The road is flat and we could enjoy easy pedalling until we come at the foot of the Rogljevo Pivnice (cellars). The Rogljevo Pivnice is built above the Rogljevo village. The local wine growers believed that wine needs tranquillity to rest and age and therefore they all built their wine cellars a couple of kilometres above the village so the wine will not be disturbed by the people, cattle and any noises. We cycle up to the wine village where it used to be 164 wine cellars (pivnica), the oldest one dates back from the 18th century, and 120 have been preserved. Of course, we will taste some wine before we continue to bike to the next village- Rajac. As we bike after the wine tasting we strongly recommend “sip and spit” tasting. Rajacke Pivnice are built in the same manner as Rogljevo Pivnice. That means, one more ascent before we relax and lunch. Afternoon we cycle via Mokranje back to Negotin.
ACCOMMODATION: Vila DeLux or Guesthouse Stanisavljevic in Negotin (comfortable double/ twin rooms with private facilities).
MEALS INCLUDED: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

DAY 3 - Bike along the Danube trail to Vratna gates
Getting off from Negotin we cycle along the Danube passing the villages of Mala Kamenica and Mihajlovac. After leaving the mighty Danube river we ride on small country roads through picturesque rolling sceneries of forests and farmlands. Our goal is the 14th-century Orthodox monastery Vratna. where we have a picnic lunch. From there we stroll another kilometre to the formation of stone gates shaped by the river Vratna. We bike back to the village of Slatina where we get into a minibus and transfer to Negotin.
We return to Negotin around 16h00 when you can start your trip back home.
