• After breakfast, we will head towards Western Serbia, Zlatibor.

• A romantic region of gentle mountains, traditions and hospitality, Zlatibor is located in western Serbia, with Tara National Park to the north and Zlatar mountain to the south. The region's name serves as a poetic introduction; Zlatibor means 'golden pine'. Not far beyond the resort centre – which has become overdeveloped in recent years – are quaint villages that feel a million miles away from the après-ski scene; it's a road-tripping wonderland.

• Visit Stopica Cave. Though it’s not lavish with speleothems, it does have some unique geological features. This limestone cave with a massive entrance is home to several “siga,” or limestone tubs of different sizes and depths. They are some of the largest of their kind, with some as deep as seven meters (23 feet).
