ABOUT THIS EXPERIENCE
The Timok valley is the east’s cultural heart: Zaječar’s brass orchestras (the region’s trumpet tradition, the festivals of the valley), the vineyards of the hills around the town, and the river towns’ unhurried rhythm. The valley pairs with Romuliana as the day’s second half.
