Hajla

Hajla mountain rises to 2403 meters with limestone cliffs, dense forests on northern slopes, and multiple peaks extending over 10 kilometers along the border.

During the 1999 Kosovo War, Hajla mountain became a strategic position where the 163rd Rugova brigade engaged in battles against Yugoslav military forces.

The mountain slopes support traditional pastoral activities with shepherd huts and water sources like Biser voda spring serving local agricultural communities.

Visitors can access Hajla through two main hiking routes starting from Rozaje town or Bandzov, with a mountain hut providing accommodation at Badzov.

The mountain forms a natural watershed where the Ibar River originates from northern slopes while Pecka Bistrica River flows from southern slopes.
