Worth taking a look. The complex is small, so you can be outside within an hour.

Before the dam was built, Lepenski Vir lay below the Danube on a river terrace by a rapid. Lepenski Vir lies between Serbia and Romania in front of the Iron Gate. It was discovered in the 1967s during test drilling as part of the power plant construction and uncovered and scientifically evaluated by a team of archaeologists from Belgrade led by Dragoslav Srejovic. The museum was relocated upwards as a reconstruction and reconstructed 1:1 and preserved for posterity (similar to Abu Simbel in Egypt through the Aswan dam project). What is special about it is the date of the settlement. Beginning in the Mesolithic period (Middle Stone Age = time of hunters, fishermen and gatherers) Proto Lepenski Vir 9500-7500 BC. LP Vir I+II 6300-5900 BC (Neolithic = New Stone Age = time of farmers who migrated from Anatolia), LP Vir III 5900-5300, Neolithic, in Central Europe only from 5500 BC. LBK - Linear Pottery culture. A special feature is the trapezoidal house floor plans aligned with the Danube with fireplaces at the entrance in which these figures (fish people) were found. and burials in the houses. A religious cult connection is suspected. A total of 44 houses were excavated. As a site, LP Vir is a highlight of archaeology because it contains one of the first traces of European settlement, before the actual settlement of the Neolithic period.
