Rogozna

Rogozna is a mountain range in southwestern Serbia located between river valleys and reaching a peak elevation of approximately 1500 meters. The massif features various hiking routes and mountain pathways through forested slopes and alpine terrain.

The mountains served as a medieval mining center with extensive extraction operations for precious metals and ores. These mining activities attracted traders and specialists from various regions who established settlements nearby.

The mountain contains ruins of Medieval town Jelec, where King Dragutin experienced a hunting accident that led to his abdication to King Milutin.

The mountain is accessible from several neighboring towns and municipalities offering various entry points for visitors. Hikers should prepare for changing weather conditions and varying elevations along the routes.

In November 1944, Yugoslav Army forces rescued American and British military personnel near Rogozna Mountain during German forces retreat from Greece.
