The Kovilovo viewpoint – Rudna Glava village georoute starts on the local road Donji Milanovac – Majdanpek across Oman Mountain, at the beginning of the 1.2 km long Kovilovo hiking trail that leads to the viewpoint above the Donjomilanovačka valley at 355 m above sea level.

A 23 km long asphalt road leads to Rajko’s Cave, which stands out with the beauty and richness of cave formations made of crystal clear calcite. After visiting Rajko’s Cave, we suggest a tour of the Church of the Saint Apostles Peter and Paul in the center of Majdanpek, built in the middle of the 19th century in the so-called Swiss style, prevalent in Europe at the time.

A 1.2 km long hiking trail leads to the complex of cascades and waterfalls on the Beli Izvorac Tufa Accumulation, which starts on the road Majdanpek – Negotin, 14 km from Majdanpek. Returning to the road Majdanpek – Negotin at a distance of 3 km begins 1.3 km long hiking trail that leads to the Šuplja stena, the highest stone arch in Serbia which is 44.8 m high, and the width of its opening at the bottom is 9.7 m.

The georoute ends in the nearby village Rudna Glava (6 km) and the women’s association “Vredne Vlajne” which is engaged in the preservation of the heritage of the Vlach ethnic group.
