Niš & Devil's Town - Serbia Weekend Trip

I did yet another trip to Serbia, this time to the city of Niš - Ниш and to a tourist destination a little more south, Devil's Town - Đavolja Varoš.

Some information regarding the places, you can find here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devil%27s_Town
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ni%C5%A1_Fortress
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C4%8Cegar
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skull_Tower
http://www.lonelyplanet.com/travelbl...?destId=360673

This is the road map (http://g.co/maps/hpjp9):

Have they opened the interchange at Smederevo ? In the middle of July it was closed for repairs. And the detour was confusing to say the leaSt (NO SIGNS ).

Nope, not opened, there some signs, but not that good ones. We stopped somewhere and asked, and after that found it quickly.

We didn't enter Nis, i hope you've made a lot of pictures, but to be honest, the ones you posted so far don't look very promising.

Nis is not as beautiful as Belgrade or Novi Sad. But it does have some very nice attractions, you will see. These were just some pictures take from the car. I don't want to show only the nice places, I want to show the reality .

The city is very vibrant with lots of young people in the streets at night. We watched the game Federer - Djokovic from a terrace, almost every terrace had a TV and it was showing the game. Nice atmosphere.

One thing I noticed there, I didn't here any English, German, Romanian or foreign language on the streets. There was more Cyrillic present.

I will try to return with pictures later. I still have some road pictures from the road to Devil's Town, then I will post pictures from Devil's Town, and after that, Nis, to make it chronological.

When i transited the area this summer, over 50 % of the cars on the motorway bypassing Nis where of nordic origin. I'm guessing they don't want to spend the night in a non-eu country.

Waiting for the pics

To go to Devil's Town from Nis, we took the road to Pristina, and we will take the last exit of that road before Kosovo province. Here are some pictures from the road:

This was a funny village name. The police also stood there ready to catch people. My copilot said "Cum ar fi sa te opreasca politia la Kastrat?" )

Still waiting for the Devil's town, and maybe you can tell us the legend. Do they also have something like a Dracula's myth or so ?

La castrat e bine, mai ales daca e vorba de maidanezi cu 2 sau 4 picioare.
La Kastrat nu e problema, la Furat cred ca e, de asemenea si la Klonat...
