In November, when mist rises from quiet waters and willows sway in the cold breeze, Zasavica becomes a dreamlike landscape — calm, reflective, and full of life. Located near Sremska Mitrovica, this Special Nature Reserve is one of Serbia’s most beautiful wetland areas, known for its pristine rivers, rare plants, and protected animal species.
What to See
Start your visit at the Visitor Center, where you’ll learn about the reserve’s ecosystem and local wildlife. Take a walk along the wooden educational paths that meander over calm waters — ideal for photography lovers and birdwatchers.
You can spot wild horses, beavers, and over 200 bird species, while the landscape mirrors the soft November light. Don’t miss the “Umbra” tourist boat ride, a relaxing way to explore the river channels surrounded by reeds and willows.
What to Do
Spend a peaceful day reconnecting with nature. Visit the Mini Zasavica farm, where you can see traditional Serbian animals — from mangulica pigs to Balkan donkeys, whose milk is used to produce the famous donkey cheese, one of the most expensive cheeses in the world.
At the small souvenir shop, you can buy local products like jams, honey, and handmade soaps — perfect gifts from your autumn journey.
Activities
Plan your stay at the Zasavica Visitor Center, which offers comfortable accommodation for eco-travelers. Enjoy an early morning walk as the fog lifts over the river, or organize a picnic by the water while the sun paints everything in soft gold.
For a full-day trip, explore nearby Sremska Mitrovica, one of the oldest cities in Europe, built on the remains of ancient Sirmium. Zasavica in November is where nature slows down — and you finally can too.
