In all these fortresses various battles of Serbian knights against Ottoman (Turkish) robbers (army)!!! Of course, various invaders came here even before Ottomans: Byzantine empire, Catholic crusaders, Bulgarians, Hungarians and others!!! Many came and passed!!! The entire Serbia has many fortresses and castles!!!🤔🤨😎😤
Glad you enjoyed it and presenting real map of Serbia. Just note Serbia is geographically not Eastern Europe but South/South eastern Europe:)
There used to be much more to see of Smederevo fortress before WW2. As the German occupiers utilized a section of the fortress as a huge gunpowder magazine, there happened a devastation explosion that killed a few thousand people and destroyed a substantial part of the town as well. What you see today are only the remains of once magnificient place. The corner of the fortress that you visited is best-preserved/rennovated.
Wow, we didn't know that! Thanks for sharing!
Seemed like you had great accommodations there on your road trip. Visiting the fortresses was right up my alley - I love the historic experiences and visiting these kinds of sites. Serbia is on my list now!
Serbia is definitely of the beaten path but it really does have a lot to see.
If you come in Belgrade you have under the fortress tour :)
I live 3 hours away from Smederevo and Golubac and I've been planing to visit forever, your video finally pushed me in the right direction, can't wait for my holiday to come visit, and thnx to you now I know what I must see when I come.
Great to hear! You’re going to love the scenery here. It’s so lovely!
@@LucasWorldTravelYou must remember Kosovo is Serbia, when you showing the map of Serbia!!!
You guy's are my favorite traveling couple you have been some amazing places I will be visiting Croatia this May was supposed to go in Oct had to postponed trip but excited to go this spring hope to visit Slovenia,Bosnia and Serbia this trip being so close I hope 2 weeks is enough to visit all those countries so much to see and do😊
Aww, thanks so much! Glad, we are your favorites. If you only have 2 weeks though I would recommend a week in Slovenia and a week in Croatia. We find that each city is worth at least a 2-3 night stay so by the time you see Ljubljana, Bled, Split, and Dubrovnik and maybe Rovinj. That alone can take up your entire 2 weeks.
I like castle old
Wow, such an interesting video! The castles look so amazing. I love how you guys travel and I love your attitude. You make it look like so much fun. We are really enjoying watching your travels!
Thanks Barbara! We really do love the adventure. We never really know what will happen or what we’re going to learn. It always makes things exciting. Thanks for watching!
Cool video. It s nice to see a some part of Serbia from your pov. 😉
Last accomodation is super.
Come back in summer. 👋☺️
Yes, we definitely need to come back in summer.
You have a Turkish fortress, Fetislam, a few hundred yards before Kladovo center, by the river. It's also newly restored and well worth a visit.
From Veliko Gradište and quite far beyond Kladovo you have the Valachian region, where Vlachs live. In Serbia they have Serbian names but speak Romanian. Just at the other end of Kladovo, there is an excellent winery and Negotin, an hour's drive to the south is one of the top wine regions of Serbia.
Good to know! Thanks for all the additional tips!
лажеш турчине пасји сине и курвиног окота
thank you for visiting!
Thanks! It was our pleasure!
Serbia is better in summer and spring.Danube is blue,tree is green...forest...
Yes agreed! We would love to return in the summer.
Another interesting, information packed video...loved the tidbit on the dracula orgins
Thanks girl! Every place we go offers a new tidbit that makes it’s understand the world a bit better!
Good job folks. Watched a few of your video's before and have subscribed today. We are balkan bound Feb 29 for a year!
Nice! You guys are really going to enjoy the Balkans. It’s an interesting part of the world.
Love it! 😍
Your videos are extremely well done and you are extremely bright
Many thanks! That's much appreciated!
You're making great, chill videos. Thank you.
We appreciate that! Glad you like them!
I love you guys. Wish you all the best!!!!!!!!
Aww, thanks so much! Same to you!
During your tour of Serbia, do not miss the Rtanj mountain, which is also called the pyramid with some bioenergetic places, as well as the medieval fortress of Maglic near the city Kraljevo. Have a nice trip..
Thanks for the tips!
Welcome
🙂💯👍
Also, @lucas couple. I highly recommend Bulgaria and Romania. Especially Varna, Sofia and Plovdiv, and Bukarest in Romania. Don't drive in Romania, though, at least not in the capital. They have affordable Ubers and it's best.
We did get to see a bit of Bulgaria although it was super cold. We couldn't get to Romania though. Next time!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Southern European :) Russia and Ukraine are Eastern Europe :) The Golubac fortress is like the one from the Disney movies. Too bad you had bad weather, no sunshine.
No sunshine, but still a good time!
1:16- footage of what road is this? It really does not look like Serbia, more like Siberia;) No class 2 roads look like this in Serbia. Maybe some remote village but even for that it is too wide. When I consider trees I am 99% sure this is not Serbian road.
This is 100% a Serbian road. This one was on the way to Novi Sad. This is why we advise taking the toll roads to avoid roads like this.
Thanks for the reply. I work as road engineer in Serbia and Europe. I can assure you this is not the road in Serbia. There is no horizontal signalization(road lines), no asphalt surface and too many trees from Northern Europe.. You can find online videos of the old road to Novi Sad that absolutely does not look like this. I also play geoguesser and you can see black snow sticks/poles (1:19)that are not used in Serbia. Again if you took the video of this please tell us exactly the spot where it was taken.
@@cinoeye I agree 100%, these were my thoughts as well. I was in such disbelief that that's a road in Serbia, that I had to pause the video and take another look, and to me it still looks more like some random road in Russia
@@minjaciric7024 haha I was thinking the same. I play geo guesser and instantly recognised Russian road.
@@cinoeye👍🏻
On an ordinary day in the United States, you would spend about as much money just going about your daily business. What's your take on Balkan cuisine, in general?
It's slightly different in each country, but we enjoyed it. Especially the grilled meats and sausages. So tasty!
