Novi Sad: Kosmaj Mountain Adventure – Horse Riding & Hike Tour

Your day of adventure commences with a small group departure from Novi Sad, setting out towards the idyllic Cleopatra Fountain—an ancient oasis renowned for its mythical healing properties. Prepare for an exhilarating horseback ride through the picturesque landscapes of Sumadija. Upon arrival, you’ll be introduced to your gentle equine companions and guided through a brief orientation to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. Once saddled up, embark on a 45-minute test ride in a fenced round pen, allowing you to familiarize yourself with the horses and adjust to the rhythm of riding.

As you venture into the lush fields adorned with cherry trees and vibrant flora, you’ll have the opportunity to traverse at your own pace, whether walking, trotting, or galloping. Choose your preferred mode of exploration and immerse yourself in the beauty of the countryside, soaking in the sights, sounds, and scents of nature. The horseback ride lasts approximately 1 hour, offering a perfect blend of excitement and tranquility.

After your invigorating ride, journey to a charming rural estate nestled amidst the rolling hills—a cherished legacy passed down through generations. Here, you’ll be welcomed with open arms and treated to a sumptuous lunch featuring authentic Serbian cuisine. Indulge in a feast of homemade delicacies prepared with love and care, accompanied by traditional Rakia, a quintessential Serbian brandy known for its robust flavor and warming effects.

Rejuvenated and nourished, embark on the next leg of your adventure—a scenic forest hike leading to the historic Tresije Monastery. Follow along winding trails flanked by verdant foliage and fragrant wildflowers, pausing to admire breathtaking vistas and hidden gems along the way. Explore the monastery grounds, steeped in centuries of history and spirituality, and pay homage to the past at the World War I ossuary—a poignant reminder of sacrifice and resilience.

As the sun begins to set, consider embracing an optional night hike to the Kasteljan Monastery, where echoes of ancient Roman mines whisper tales of bygone eras and untold adventures.
