Crna Trava Municipality

Crna Trava Municipality is an administrative division in the Jablanica District, covering mountainous land with thick forests throughout. The terrain rises to significant elevation, creating a landscape where woodland dominates and traditional rural structures shape the settlement pattern.

Settlement in the area grew during the medieval period under King Milutin, leading to the construction of religious buildings. This era established the foundations of organized community life with permanent settlement patterns.

Builders from this region earned a reputation for skilled craftsmanship, taking on construction projects across Serbia and the former Yugoslavia. Their work shaped the appearance of many settlements throughout the broader area.

The municipality provides basic services through its administrative offices, reachable by road from nearby towns. Visitors should know that the area is sparsely populated, so essential facilities are best found in the larger nearby city.

The region experienced severe population decline since the mid-20th century and now has only about a thousand residents. This transformation makes it unusual among Serbian municipalities, with so few people inhabiting such a large administrative area.
