Camping Zip

Start your sojourn with a canter around Kremna, learning a bit about the prophetic peasant brothers that once lived here with a visit to the memorial house. After that, make your way to Mokra Gora (10 minutes’ drive) for a ride on the narrow-gauge Šargan Eight railway through some truly spectacular scenery on the edge of the Tara National Park. Want to get further immersed in the park? Walks and mountain bike trails are plentiful – if you don’t know where to start, aim for Solotnik Fort (half an hour’s drive), 13th-century Rača monastery or Zaovine Lake (an hour). To really give the legs a workout, plan an assault on Mount Tara (half an hour), a peak so pretty the Slavic god Tar chose to make his home there. Taking a break from the park, you might like to consider visits to Sirogojno (an hour) to wander around an old Serbian village that’s been turned into a open-air museum, venturing underground at Potpeće Cave (50 minutes) or paying tribute to fallen soldiers at the Kadinjača Memorial Complex (half an hour) – an atmospheric site with stunning views.
