Grdelička klisura, Canyon in southeastern Serbia
The Grdelička klisura stretches for 34 kilometers through southeastern Serbia, featuring steep cliffs that rise 550 meters above the South Morava River.
The canyon has witnessed significant events, including the 1999 incident when a passenger train was struck on the railway bridge during military operations.
The surrounding villages maintain traditional Serbian customs, with local residents preserving ancient farming methods and traditional architecture in the canyon region.
The canyon connects the Vranje and Leskovac basins through a modern highway system, with two major tunnels facilitating transportation between northern and southern Serbia.
The area exhibits the most pronounced erosion patterns in Serbia due to its mountainous terrain and the steep slopes of Čemernik and Kukavica mountains.
