The drainage area of the Nisava river (called Ponisavlje) is situated in the south-eastern part of Serbia, where the important branch of the Corridor 10 posses through the Nisava valley. The valley is a foothill of several mountains, three of which are morphologically most conspicuous: Stara Planina (2169 m a.s.l.), Suva Planina (1810 m a.s.l.) and Svrljiske Planine. These mountains cover the most attractive mountain and high-mountain area which is closely attached to the important communication direction, the Corridor 10. The paper explains their favourable location in respect of the corridor, as well as the important morphological characteristics of the mountain area, which are significant for the development of mountain tourism. Special attention on these issues is paid with regard to the nature protection. Great number of locations (especially on Mt.Stara Planina) have the status of Nature Reserves, with the strict protection regime, which is considerably sensitive issue if regarded in the sense of tourism function. Protected locations are at the same time the most attractive areas for tourist visits, so the protection regime stands as a kind of construction factor. However, the paper points to possible solutions which would overcome these opposed categories by strictly controlled human activities.
