Šargan Eight, Heritage railway in Mokra Gora, Serbia.

The Šargan Eight railway curves through mountainous terrain, climbing 300 meters with tracks forming a figure-eight pattern across the landscape.

The railway construction started in 1921 to connect Belgrade with Sarajevo, employing Russian and Italian prisoners during World War I.

The restored wooden train carriages, equipped with traditional stoves, represent Serbian railway engineering from the early 20th century.

Trains depart twice daily from Mokra Gora station, with the journey lasting one hour and tickets available for both adults and children.

The railway includes 22 tunnels and 10 bridges, allowing passengers to cross the same point at different elevations while ascending the mountain.
