Sićevo Gorge, Protected gorge near Niš, Serbia.

The limestone canyon stretches for 17 kilometers between the northern branches of Suva Mountain and southern branches of Svrljig Mountains along the Nišava River.

The gorge contained an essential section of the Via Militaris, a Roman road that connected Constantinople to Central Europe through the Balkans.

Medieval Orthodox monasteries dot the landscape of Sićevo Gorge, including the Monastery of Saint Petka which preserves Serbian religious traditions.

Marked hiking trails and climbing routes provide access to different sections of the gorge, with the main entrance located 14 kilometers east of Niš.

The gorge houses the last nesting pairs of golden eagles in Serbia and contains rare plant species like Serbian Ramonda and Natalia's Ramonda.
