What are the most spectacular roads in Serbia?

Nestled in the heart of the Balkans, in the southeastern part of Europe, Serbia offers a wide range of spectacular drives, including mountain roads and scenic paved trips. Steeped in history and natural wonders, you can’t miss the paved balcony road through Jerma River Canyon, in the Pirot District, or Ibar Highway, a paved route connecting Belgrade to western Serbia and onward to Montenegro. It earned the ominous moniker "Black Highway."

If you’re up for a drive on unpaved mountain roads, you can’t skip the road to Jankov Kamen, a mountain peak at 1,833m (6,013ft) ASL in the southwestern part of the country, or the international roads to Pančić's Peak, at 2,017m (6,617ft) above sea level, on the border with Kosovo, or Midžor, a mountain peak at 2,142m (7,027ft) ASL, on the border with Bulgaria.

It is a large through-cave that is difficult to find, situated a few hundred meters off Road 23 at the northern edge of the village Dobroselica. A map or reliable navigation is essential, as there are no signs for the cave or the nearby villages. It’s one of the few roads in the world that runs through a cave.
