ST421 Sićevo - Bela Palanka

Stage in the Sultans Trail, a historic and cultural long-distance hiking route from Vienna to Istanbul.

Covering 31.2 km, this demanding trail is best tackled by experienced walkers in good condition. Budget roughly 6 hours and 56 minutes or consider splitting it across two days.

This linear trail moves from one end to the other without looping back. A return journey by transport — or retracing the path — is needed to get back to the start. Look for the ST421 trail markings to stay on the official route.

As an International Walking Network (IWN) route, this trail is part of a network connecting countries across Europe and beyond. Quality standards for surface and signage are consistently high.
