From the town center (Nis), go east, towards Niska Banja spa, situated a few kilometers away from the town. After turning right for the spa, turn left (immediately upon crossing the railroad tracks) towards village Jelasnica, which is around 3 km away. At the wery entrance into the village, there is a small crossroad. First turn left and cross the bridge, and after about 100m, turn right towards “Bojanine vode” mountaineers house. Once you have passed through the village, you will get to Jelasnica Gorge.

ACCOMODATION
You can camp in the gorge (camp is free). For accomodation in Niska Banja spa (7km from the gorge – 5-10 euro for a night without food) contact the organizer by e-mail: knaissus @t gmail dot com.

We hope you`ll have a great weekend with us. SEE YOU THERE!!!!

Επίσης κάτι που δεν αναφέρεται στο mail είναι ότι και το φαγητό κοστίζει πολύ φτηνά.Τρως πίνεις σε ταβέρνα και πληρώνεις γύρω στα 5 ευρώ το άτομο. Γενικά όποιος ενδιαφέρεται μπορεί να μου στείλει mail (christakid @t hotmail dot com). Από Θεσσαλονίκη αυτό το μέρος είναι γύρω στις 5 ώρες.
