Zavoj Lake, Serbia Although it looks like a river, the picture shows a part of the lake called Zavoj (or Zavojsko Lake). The lake is located in southeastern Serbia. Its origin is quite unusual, and also quite an educational story. The lake was formed in the middle of the last century when a huge landslide blocked the course of the river Visocica. The landslide was caused by unplanned deforestation on the surrounding slopes. After heavy rains, the unstable slopes turned into…

Autumn... Autumn has always been a special time of year for me. I grew up close to nature and away from the concrete jungle. Autumn was the last moment to take a little walk in the surrounding hills and mountains, because as children we were strictly forbidden to do so in winter. I remember the smell of freshly cooked jam, freshly ground flour and homemade bread. I remember going to the vineyard with my grandfather every day and waiting, for some reason known only to him, to…

Old Pot This vineyard is decorated with unusual and colorful decoration. An old red pot with white polka dots. I think that every house in Serbia had one like this. The vineyard is located somewhere in Šumadija. This area of Serbia is known for farming and especially for viticulture. Some of the best wines come from there. As I passed by this small vineyard, I did not come across any owners. The grapes have been harvested for a long time and now they are probably waiting in…

Autumn Forest This year I visited so many forests that my father started calling me a ‘forester’. This one is in the vicinity of city of Kragujevac in Serbia. It was a big surprise. Beautiful atmosphere, even more beautiful colors. Perfect day! (Sony A6000 & Sony E 18-135mm, f/6.7, 1/200 sec, ISO-1000) #photography #travel #nature #landscape #serbia #autumn

Beljarica: Complete wilderness on the outskirts of Belgrade Beljarica is rightly called the Belgrade Amazon. This area covers an area of about 20 square kilometers on the left bank of the Danube. Beljarica is home to many plant species, insects, fish and birds. The diversity of the fish stock consists of over 100 different species of fish. However, what this area is richest in are the species of birds for which it is home or a seasonal nesting place. Out of almost 150 bird…

About Me :) I guess it would be polite to say a few things about myself. My full name is Dejan Vuckovic and I come from Serbia. As a young man, I was a semi-professional cyclist. That love has remained to this day. Today I am almost exclusively involved in mountain biking. I also have been hiking for decades. I still do mountaineering whenever my time and obligations allow. Over the years, I have climbed some of the highest peaks in Europe and almost all the peaks in the…

Beljarica: A few more from Belgrade Amazonia A few more photos from the beautiful Beljarica. Near Belgrade, the capital of Serbia, just ten minutes from the center, there is a real oasis of untouched nature. The swamp complex on the banks of the Danube is a habitat for thousands bird. In late autumn, migratory birds return to their habitats in the south. Then Beljarica becomes a very peaceful place whose silence is disturbed only by swans. #photography #nature #landscape…

Favorite Rides 😃 In my humbly opinion, the best time for mountain biking is autumn. After the summer heat, autumn brings a welcome refreshment. Before the winter and the inevitable snows, everyone is in the mood to take another round, to spend another day outdoors so that there is no lack of company. But the most beautiful thing is that the colors in autumn are simply indescribably beautiful. That is why I sometimes jokingly say that I do mountain biking during the year,…

Lake Hallstatt, Austria Although the name Hallstatt immediately reminds of a famous village in Austria, this time I take you to the lake of the same name. I have visited this area many times, and one of the departures was a real snow adventure. I will let you start by enjoying the beauty of this lake... before we get lost into the deep snow :) (Sony A6000 & Sigma 19mm, f/8.0, 1/250 sec, ISO-100) #photography #travel #austria #snow #landscapephotography

Hallstatt Lake, Austria Panorama of the southern, less visited side of the lake Hallstatt. Several small villages are located in this part of the lake. The road on the west side of the lake leads to the famous village of Hallstatt, while the entire east side is reserved for hikers and cyclists. In the snow, one of the most beautiful scenes from Austria that I have seen (Sony A6000 & Sigma 19mm, f/8.0, 1/250 sec, ISO-100)

Another scene from the Lake Hallstatt in Austria It was quite interesting to me that Lake Hallstatt was named after the historic village of Hallstatt, which is located on the shores of the lake. It is usually the other way around, that smaller geographical determinants are named after larger ones. As I hike to the village of Hallstatt, many beautiful scenes of the lake under the snow caught my attention. (Sony A6000 & Sigma 19mm, f/8.0, 1/250 sec, ISO-100) #photography…

Spring of Jelovicka river, Old Mountain, Serbia The spring of the Jelovicka river is one of the magical places of the Stara Planina (Old Mountain). It is a spring of circular shape and rich green color in almost all seasons. The transparency of the water is astonishing, as the smallest details can be seen at a depth of over 30 meters without any problems. It is of unknown depth. So far, divers have dived to a depth of about -50 meters below the water level and in the length…

Iceland When they ask me what is the most beautiful place on the planet that I have visited so far, I have not the slightest dilemma - it is Iceland. Different, wild, beautiful in a very strange way ... but absolutely and completely stunningly beautiful. (Sony A6000 @ Sony 18-135, f/8.0, 1/45 sec, ISO-100) #photography #Iceland #travel #nature

Next to Hallstatt Lake Just a few hundred meters from Lake Hallstatt, there is one of the most beautiful hiking trails that I had the pleasure to walk. This trail offers a magnificent view of the lake and the surrounding mountains. #photography #travel #nature #austria #Hallstatt #snow #winter #lake

Snowy Hike I'm not a big fan of snow, which is, I know, very unusual for a mountaineer. But there are moments that simply would not be complete without snow. Such was the day and the walk through one of the most beautiful tracks in Upper Austria - the legendary Salzkammergut trails near Hallstatt. #photography #travel #hiking #Austria #Hallstatt #winter #snow

Tupavica Waterfall, Old Mountain, Serbia Tupavica Waterfall is located on Stara Planina (Old Mountain) in southeastern Serbia. At an altitude of about 1000 meters on the way to the Kopren peak from the village of Dojkinci, there is this beautiful waterfall, which has become one of the trademarks of Serbia. With a width of 15 meters and a height of about 25 meters, this waterfall is one of the modest waterfalls on Stara Planina in its characteristics on the paper. However,…
