Mount Rajac, Mountain summit in western Serbia.
Mount Rajac rises to 848 meters and is covered with meadows, clearings, and mixed forests of beech, birch, ash, and oak. At the granite quarry in Gradjenik village, climbers find 36 bolted routes with varying difficulty levels for rock climbing.
In November 1914, fighting took place across these slopes, leaving behind trenches dug by Serbian forces that remain visible today. The remains offer insight into how the landscape was used during this period.
Every July, visitors can watch people wearing traditional clothes compete in grass cutting using hand scythes in the old way. This festival brings the region's farming heritage to life through direct demonstration of methods their ancestors used for generations.
Wear sturdy shoes since the terrain can be steep and muddy, especially during wetter months. Bring plenty of water and weatherproof clothing, as conditions can change quickly on the mountain.
The slopes are home to many medicinal plants and support diverse wildlife including pheasants, roe deer, foxes, wild boars, and tortoises. This mix of flora and fauna makes the mountain noteworthy for nature enthusiasts.
