Јелашничка клисура
A narrow limestone gorge near Niška Banja with towering cliffs. It is a rock-climbing destination in southern Serbia.
The Jelašnica Gorge stretches about 2 km, narrowing to only tens of meters at its tightest point. Limestone cliffs rise up to 100 m on either side. It is a special nature reserve home to plants endemic to the Balkans. The gorge has several established climbing routes and streamside trails, and a small restaurant near the entrance. It lies about 5 km from Niška Banja and can be reached by car or taxi. It is often visited on the same day as the Sićevo Gorge.
