Blederija, Natural waterfall in eastern Serbia
Blederija is a waterfall in eastern Serbia that cascades over sedimentary rock layers, forming a turquoise pool below the main drop. Multiple springs in the surrounding area feed the river that powers this waterfall.
A Roman military road once ran through the Blederija valley but was later redirected southward through the Iron Gates gorge for strategic reasons. This shift in the route reflected changes in how the empire connected its territories.
The waterfall holds a special place in local stories as a site where water spirits were believed to gather and bathe. These tales shape how people in the region understand and visit the place today.
The waterfall displays its strongest flow during spring months when snowmelt feeds the river and creates multiple smaller cascades. Plan your visit during this time if you want to see the falls at their most powerful.
The two underground springs that feed the river have significantly different temperatures, which influences the water conditions in the pool below. This temperature contrast is a hidden feature that few visitors notice during their time there.
