Lepenski Vir is archeological site located in the eastern part of the country, on Danube river. It represents Mesolithic Iron Gates culture of the Balkans.
Museum is open from 9am until 7pm.

Lepenski Vir is a museum located close to Danube Serbian River Bank, close to the border with Romania. It is a very modern structure, where you can see the remains of an ancient culture. Pitifully here is not the original place, where there were the remains, it was close to the Djerdap Dam, but due to this construction, all remains move to this actual place. You can see tombs, houses and some anthropomorfic figures. Very curious. Very interesting.

Until we visited this site I had never stumbled across the significance of the findings here nor of the part the Danube played as a route for early humans into Europe. A must see and along with the beautiful scenery of the lake created by the dam, one of the highlights of this section of the Danube running between Serbia and Romania.
The settlement site now under water has been well presented and preserved at it's new location only 100m or so from the original spot on the banks of the Danube.
Older than other early European sites it shows a more sophisticated culture than expected at this time some 9500 to 5500 BC! An eye opener certainly, described as a pearl in our cultural heritage and I would not disagree!
