We booked the Lepenski Vir trip from a Viking cruise on the Danube and are so glad we did! The... read more
The place is located approximately 10 minutes walk from the parking lot
The path is lined up with trees and plants that are well-labeled. Looking across the river is a huge bare hilltop with different coloration(due to the presence of iron contents)
The museum is entirely made of glass panels that curve towards the river.
There is a presentation theatre , when it is filled with people it becomes quite stuffy. The recorded film is ok
It is a good place to learn about early civilization, how the early tribes survive, and how it forms the foundation of a family unit.
This is an outstanding exhibit of an ancient civilization. It i s housed in an attractive glass building which is not air conditioned except for some rooms. There is a film about the discovery which is fun even though the production is amateurish. The walk to the building is through the forest with many labeled plants.
We saw this museum as an optional excursion on a Viking river cruise along the Danube. It was well worth our time. The excavations and interpretations made the history of this 8000 year old site come to life.
Despite being an archaeological graduate [admittedly in the past century] I hadn't heard about this site! It was also used in the Serbian movie 'Ivana the Terrible'. It's well worth the stop if you are in the Iron Gates region even if you are not that interested in archaeology as they really make it accessible and simple to learn about. The site/museum is set in beautiful woodlands and has exhibits and an excellent film from the 60s which eerily documents the discovery of this highly unusual, almost preternatural, culture of humans.
I feel like I should have liked it more. It is incredibly ancient artifacts and homes, but I found it small, not that impressive, and really difficult to discern. Its not anything I would ever want to do again or would I recommend. We went on a river cruise and it was part of the itinerary, but I would not make any additional effort to go.
We travel with MS Diana from Orsova to Belgrad and stopped for this archeological site. Approximately 7.000 years old. So pretty important to see
