Gučevo, Mountain peak in western Serbia.
Gučevo is a mountain in western Serbia that rises to 779 meters at its highest point, Crni Vrh. It overlooks the Drina River and sits near the spa town of Banja Koviljača.
The mountain became a major battlefield during World War I when Serbian forces fought against the Austro-Hungarian army. These battles left a lasting mark on the region's history and identity.
The summit holds a memorial and ossuary for Serbian and Austro-Hungarian soldiers who died in the mountain battles. Visitors can walk to this site and feel the weight of the place where nations once clashed.
Reach the mountain by taking a bus from Belgrade to Loznica, then a short taxi ride via Route 331. The summit has a large mountain lodge, a car camp with restaurant, and clear hiking trails.
The mountain is home to Serbia's largest mountain lodge, a hub for hikers and visitors throughout the year. This facility anchors the experience of visiting the summit.
