Visit Tara mountain in West serbia

The Tara National Park in Southwestern Serbia is definitely the most beautiful region in Serbia. Due to its exceptional natural beauty, it is becoming a popular destination for tourists from all over the world. However, since it is almost 4 hours drive from Belgrade, it is difficult to visit all the beauties of Tara and Mokra Gora in a one-day excursion, so we have chosen the most popular destinations such as Ethno village Mećavnik and of course the inevitable train ride via famous Šargan Eight Railway.

Šargan Eight Railway

Drive on a tourist train through mountainous fairytale areas is the main reason for the daily arrival of hundreds of tourists on Mokra Gora. A two-hour drive via Tara with stops on beautiful viewpoints will delight you.

Mecavnik (Drvengrad)

The ethno village that is the idea of renowned film director Emir Kusturica in which all buildings are made of wood in an ethno style. The Mecavnik is also known by the names Drvengrad and Kustenndorf. Many Hollywood stars have hosted by Emir Kusturica.

Lonely house on Drina river

The House on Drina is one of the most recognizable sights of western Serbia at the entrance to Bajina Bašta. The restaurant on the coast is the perfect place to stop for a coffee break. From the terrace of the restaurant, there is an excellent view of the house on the rock and the beautiful river Drina that separates Serbia from Bosnia.

Drina Gate Viewpoint

The Gate of Drina valley is a viewpoint where we’ll take a short break on the way to Tara. Great place for a couple of good photos. From the viewpoint, there is a magnificent view of the valley of the Drina River and the surrounding mountains. The landscape is like on postcards.

Bajina Basta Vrelo

Vrelo is a mountain river in Bajina Bašta, only 365 meters long. It ends by creating a waterfall that falls into the Drina River. Just above the waterfall in the ambient of the beautiful nature that surrounds this place is a restaurant where we can make a coffee or lunch break.

Mokra Gora Church

The Church of John the Baptist, also known as White Waters, is located between the Sargan Eight and the Mecavnik. Even if you are not a believer, because of the beauty of the place, you will feel a peace that will be disturbed only by the singing of the birds of and the bush of a mountain stream.
