Zlatibor

The Zlatibor mountain range stretches across 1015 square kilometers, featuring pine forests, alpine meadows, and numerous lakes at an elevation of 1000 meters.

The region transformed from a Medieval district called Rujno into a health resort destination during the 1800s, attracting visitors seeking treatment for various conditions.

Local villages maintain traditional wooden architecture and produce specialty foods, including the regional variation of white cheese made from mountain sheep milk.

The mountain climate provides 100 days of snow annually from November to March, while summer temperatures remain moderate for outdoor activities.

The endangered pine species Pinus sylvestris var. zlatiborica grows exclusively in this region, representing a distinct botanical heritage of the Serbian mountains.
