“…Represents an imposing natural stone bridge made of Jurassic limestones (Figure 3a). It has a length of 6 m, an opening height of 15 m, and a width of 12 m. The overall height of the karst bridge is 24 m (Petrović and Carević 2015;Miljković et al 2020). It is protected as a natural monument of the III category, on an area of 40.20 ha (Miljković 2018).…”

Purpose – One of the main aims of this research is to highlight those elements that favour certain geosites within the Kučaj-Beljanica Mountains National Park as particularly valuable and attractive phenomena of the overall geodiversity of this part of Eastern Serbia. Since geoheritage protects only authentic geosites, they must be adequately protected and rationally used. Such nature values should be appropriately promoted towards sustainable tourism and geotourism, which is one of the reasons for this research. Methodology – This paper presents a review of representative geosites within the Kučaj-Beljanica National Park in the Homolje area. Interpretation of geosites is based on scientific, aesthetic, touristic and other values that make them authentic and specific concerning others. These criteria of values are based on Vujičić et. al (2011) geosite assessment model (GAM). ArcGIS software was used as a basic method tool to present the research area. Findings – Geotourism aims to develop and spread public awareness of geosites that has scientific and cultural values and will be discussed possible solutions for developing this part of tourism. It will be analyzed what are the main issues of not recognizing the natural worth and how should they be better preserved and adequately used in the future. Contribution – The main task and contribution of this study are to indicate what can be done to adequately develop sustainable tourism on the natural phenomenon. In that way, this study will have an impact on public education and consciousness about the vulnerability and multiple significance of geoheritage as an essential component of the environment.

“…Formation of natural bridges by roof collapse of through caves (Cvijić, 1918;1960) was described exactly on the case studies from this karstic area. After Cvijić, the genesis of through caves and natural bridges was the subject of many studies (Petrović & Gavrilović, 1969;Petrović, 1971;1974;Gavrilović, 1981;1998;2005;Manojlović, 1985;Ćalić-Ljubojević, 2000;2001;Petrović & Carević, 2015). One of the most conspicuous landforms within this group is the cave Pećina na Reci Zamni (Cave on the Zamna River; in further text: the Zamna Cave).…”

Након тога је генеза тунелских пећина и прерасти у Карпато-балканидима Србије била тема већег броја истраживања (Петровић & Гавриловић, 1969;Петровић, 1971;1974;Гавриловић, 1981;1998;2005;Манојловић, 1985;Ćalić-Ljubojević, 2000;2001;Petrović & Carević, 2015). Циљ овог рада је да се генеза једног од проучаваних локалитета, Пећине на реци Замни, проучи у светлу нових истраживања.…”

The article deals with the morphogenesis of the through cave Pećina na Reci Zamni (meaning in Serbian: Cave on the Zamna River; in further text: the Zamna Cave). The Zamna Cave was the subject of several geomorphological studies, mostly aimed at explaining the cave genesis through the evolutionary concept from through caves to natural bridges. In order to get better insight into the morphogenesis of this cave, modern geomorphometrical methods were applied. The cave and the surface topography above it were scanned in high resolution using the instrument Leica Nova MS50, applying the method of terrestrial laser scanning (TLS). Data processing produced the model for the analysis of the relation between surface and underground forms of karst relief. The results point to the conclusion that the Zamna Cave is an example showing that in the process of natural bridges formation by cave roof collapse, it is not necessary that there is a dry valley above the cave, as previously thought.

The Braničevo District possesses outstanding natural and social potentials for the development of tourism. Such are various forms of relief, hydrography, caves, river springs, historical monuments and churches, archaeological sites and other resources. Most of them are "waiting" to be valorized and included into tourism offer. A special value is given by folklore of the Vlach people, which can be successfully implemented in tourism programs and promotion of ethno-social values of the Braničevo District. In this paper, an analysis of all the above-mentioned values is applicable, as well as a presentation of the proposals for strengthening the tourism offer of this part of the country. Also, there is recommendation for analyzing a desire on the appearance of demand for something new, for new markets and new ways of spending leisure time. Because of that destinations have to adapt and begin to develop specific forms of tourism
