The Sićevo Gorge (Serbian: Sićevačka klisura; Serbian Cyrillic: Сићевачка клисура), a river gorge and archaeological site in southeastern Serbia is the locally most prominent geological and topographic feature formed by the Nišava River. The gorge is located between the towns of Bela Palanka and Niška Banja. It is 17 km (11 mi) long and 350 to 400 m (1,150 to 1,310 ft) deep, in some parts developing canyon-like structures (including the inverse valley slopes at the Gradiški kanjon). The gorge is cut into the Kunovica plateau, between the southern slopes of the Svrljig Mountains and the mountain of Suva Planina. The surrounding areas are known for their high-quality vineyards. The gorge contains a stone quarry, the Ostrovica and six villages. The largest, Sićevo is the eponym of the gorge.
Sićevo Gorge – Sićevo
A recent survey shows the well-preserved Roman Road in the Sićevo gorge is in danger of being taken over by vegetation.
The visible remains of this road stretch over a length of approximately 6 kilometres, with gaps. The road is believed to have been part of the Via Militaris, dating from the first century AD.
This road is also a valuable part of several hiking trails, including the Sultans Trail. Without further action, the road will become inaccessible.
