Don’t miss this
unique opportunity to wander into the amazing world of the Serbian “Mount
Athos”, the “Iron Gates of the Danube”, the Silver and the Tzar’s Mountain,
and, of course, into the very home of the Slavic gods! Soon enough you’ll find
yourself wanting to visit them. All of them!
With dreamy landscapes, diverse flora and fauna, valuable
historic, cultural and natural monuments and breathtaking views of untouched
nature, these places show the very best of Serbia’s natural beauty.
Fruska gora
Between the Danube and the Sava rivers, spreading across 80 km
of landscapes of unbelievable beauty, stands the first of Serbia’s five
national parks. Once an island of the Pannonian sea,
the Fruska gora national park is a truly special place everyone has to visit at
least once. Apart from charming villages, meadows and lakes, Fruska gora also has dense forest inhabited by deer, boars and other
wildlife, thus being a perfect place for those who wish to relax in nature or for those who enjoy hiking, cycling, orienteering,
etc. Fruska gora is also known as the Serbian “Mount Athos”.
Djerdap National Park
Located on the right shore of the Danube river, the
Djerdap national park with its surface of 636 sq km is the biggest national park in
Serbia. It got its name
after the most beautiful and most prominent gorge along the entire watercourse
of Danube. The Djerdap gorge is one of the largest gorges of Europe and, amazingly
enough, consists of 4 gorges and 3 ravines, each of which will take your breath
away the moment you set your eyes on them.
Kopaonik
National Park
Mt. Kopaonik, called also “the Silver Mountain” by the Romans, Turks and
Venetians because of its abundance in mineral resources, is the biggest mountain range in Serbia. However, this
80 km long and in one point 40 km wide mountain has another name – “the Sunny Mountain” due to the 200 sunny days which it is blessed with each
year. Only one part of this magnificent mountain giant has been proclaimed the
Kopaonik National Park. Yet this surface was quite enough to make a tourist
paradise.
With more than 160 days of snow, a developed
tourist centre, modern hotels, 24 ski-lifts and over 70 km of ski slopes, Kopaonik is the most popular
ski-resort in Serbia. Apart from attracting skiers,
this place has a lot to offer to nature lovers as one section of the mountain is a
protected zone of the National Park Kopaonik.
Tara National Park
Surely one of the most beautiful places in not only
Serbia but the whole world is the Tara
National Park. Located in Western Serbia, this 220 sq km kingdom of untouched
nature with mt. Tara as its queen, wins the hearts of
all those who set foot on it. And how could it not? If its diverse dreamy
landscapes covered in dense forests,
fragrant meadows and charming mountain villages aren’t enough,
Tara’s mesmerizing
lakes and stunning views will be.
Sar Mountain National Park
The impressive and massive Sar
mountain, located in the very south of Serbia, is the beginning of a
separate mountain range of the Dinaric Alps and the gigantic natural border between
Macedonia and Serbia. The Sar Mountain National Park
is a proper example of the beauty of untouched nature with more than 1500 plants
species 20% of which are endemic and rare to the Balkans. Add to that over 200
birds, plenty of animal species and 147 butterfly species of extraordinary
beauty it is easy to understand why it is considered to be an important ecological centre for the biodiversity in the central
Balkans.
