In the morning, your #destinationserbia tour guide will pick you up from your accommodation, and we'll set off for Tara National Park. Along the way, we'll pass through Kremna village, where you'll hear intriguing stories about mysterious prophecies.
Our first stop will be at Zmajevac viewpoint, offering panoramic views of Zaovine lake nestled in the palm of your hand. This viewpoint is on one of the lesser-known roads across Tara, providing a scenic route with stunning landscapes.
Next, we'll visit Zaovine lake, an artificial marvel blending seamlessly into the landscape with its crystal-clear turquoise water. Besides its beauty, this lake is also an engineering feat, connected to Perućac lake by a 9km-long underground pipe. We'll also explore Spajići lake, located nearby, which is where the Pančićeva Omorika, a type of spruce tree endemic to Tara mountain, was first discovered. We’ll get to see this mountain beauty and learn more about this unique tree.
We'll continue our journey to the nearby Karaklije village, where our hiking adventure to Janjač peak begins. Rising to an altitude of 1473 meters, Janjač is one of Tara's highest peaks, offering spectacular views over Zaovine lake on one side and the town of Višegrad with its famous Bridge on the Drina river on the other. This iconic bridge was immortalized in a Nobel Prize-winning novel of the same name. As we ascend, you'll witness the historical significance of Janjač, once a border between empires and now between Serbia and Bosnia, and traces of past wars. Hike lasts approximately 1.5 hours, including the return journey to the car.
Our next destination is Banjska Stena, undoubtedly the highlight of Tara mountain. Renowned for its breathtaking views overlooking Perućac lake and the majestic Drina river canyon, this spot is a photographer's paradise. We'll take a short hike here, allowing time to capture stunning photos and soak in the natural beauty.
Our final stop, before returning to Zlatibor, is the Sokolarica viewpoint. From this vantage point, we'll be treated to panoramic views of the Rača river canyon, characterized by its dramatic cliffs and pine forests.
As the day comes to a close, we'll make our way back to Zlatibor or Užice, reflecting on the incredible adventure we've had.
