Enjoy the landscape of an archaic village Topli Do, meadows and hills, lower and upper Pilj (read Pily) waterfalls and if you are happy, you'll catch the amazing play of wild horses at the sunset.
The Balkan mountain range, also known as Stara Planina (meaning the old mountain), has got its name after the Balkan Peninsula. The village Topli Do is the closest village to the Serbian highest pick Midzor (2169m) and just 7 km away by walk, from the famous ski resort Stara Planina. The village captured its appearance like 100 years ago, including architecture and warm local people, who like chit chat even if they don’t know your language. Serbia has 90 discovered waterfalls, one-third of which are located at Stara Planina. Waterfall Pilj, 64m high is located deep in the mountain. It consists of two waterfalls, lower Pilj and upper Pilj at a height of around 1450 m. Bukovicki Do Waterfall is one of the most beautiful and interesting in Serbia.
