Very interesting place
I recommend it
Beautiful nature.
The road to the top is well prepared. Even in August at 35Cdeg air temperatures a walk through the forest is not very bothersome and the final view rewards the effort.

Fantastic site and great escape from city bustle.
There is a restaurant in the natural shade near water (red spring) for a perfect break on a hot summer day.
Can be reached by car, with large parking area and souvenir shops in front of the entrance.
Such a unique experience, to visit and see this amazing rock formations, for which locals are connecting various legends. Nature lovers will enjoy in magnificent unrealistic mother earth creation. Picture lovers can create some amazing photos, specially during night when it is lighted by various colors. Hospital and friendly people working over there are willing to help you with any info you need about Devils town or accommodation in near by Prolom spa.
This wasn't something we had planned on our trip to Serbia but Devil's Town was recommended by locals and glad we went! Be prepared to do some walking and stair climbing! A new overlook was being constructed while we were there and it was interesting to watch the guys CARRY the wood up all of those stairs! Great, scenery and you sit there and wonder "how did these get here?". The statue artwork was cool!
Davolja Varos (Devils Town) is a fabulous geomorphological phenomenon close to the border with Kosovo.
To reach these amazing red stone structures, which are up to 15metres in height &capped by a flat stone of a black colour to give a mushroom effect, you need to buy tickets at the entrance (350 dinar). There is a well marked path uphill past wooden sculptures, an old Saxon mine &red springs (which have a pH of an incredible 3.5) before you climb a series of steps to 2 different viewing platfirms offering excellent views of these structures &the beautiful surrounding countryside. You pass the tiny St Peters Church on the way back diwn.
There is a bar/cafe &gift shop at the entrance.
To walk round the whole of 'Devils Town' takes approximately 1.5 hours.
The site is not too easy to reach by public transport but we went with a taxi from Nis which cost us 50Euros to include waiting tine. The journey from Nis is around 1.5hours.
Davolja Varos is like a mini Cappadocia &definitely worth. visiting.
Dear Dave M,
Thank you for the lovely review! We'd like to see you again in Djavolja Varos!
This is an amazing place and definitely a must if you are in south Serbia. There is a car parking at the entrance and then you must walk 15-30 minutes (depending on your physical fitness). There are also several stairs, so don’t remember to wear appropriate shoes. The view from the top is just amazing.
Dear Soccca,
Thank you for the lovely review with useful tips for our further visitors. We are glad you enjoyed your trip and hope to see you again in Devil's Town.
