Only one look at the Danube River at Golubac will leave you speechless! The vastness of the river water and the beautiful promenade to the city center will make you feel as if you were at the seaside in a lovely resort. This is the widest part of the whole Danube River – around 6 kilometers! And then, in the distance, under the hill, you will see the mystical contours of the towers and the walls, as if they were floating on the surface of the lake. Surreal! Golubac fortress is located in a fantastic location, at the very entrance of the Djerdap Gorge. For its unique position, it had a very turbulent history. Ever since it was built in the 14th century under mysterious circumstances it represents an important point by which it is possible to control the flow of the Danube River. Today, thanks to the restoration, it is a fairytale castle that is the most visited tourist attraction in Serbia.
