Near the archaeological site of Lepenski Vir, below the main road, there is a small canyon named Boljetinsko Brdo.
In the Cretaceous sediments, fossils of new ammonite species and fossils of rays were found. First, it goes on a byway long downhill before the gorge in front of me
lies. Since the gorge is very narrow, I am at least in the shade here.
The small creek bed is however dried out at this time of the year. I take a break and take a look at the rock formations with the individual sediments. Unfortunately, I do not find fossils. After about 2 hours I'm on my way again.
The way back to the main road is not as long as the way to the gorge, but much steeper. I'm bathing in sweat at the top and am happy today only a short distance to drive. First, but it goes on uphill in brooding heat without shadows.
But even this torture is worthwhile. You always have a wonderful view of the Danube.
