The Šargan Eight

4.5/5

The Šargan Eight is a narrow-gauge sightseeing railway in western Serbia, running between the stations of Mokra Gora and Šargan Vitasi, with the entire line being approx. 15.5 km long. The line was once a section of the narrow-gauge main line connecting Belgrade and Sarajevo, extending as far as the Adriatic coast. After being closed for many years, it was restored and reopened as the sightseeing railway it is today. To overcome an elevation difference of approx. 300 m over just over 10 km, the tracks wind through the mountains in a giant "8" shape. In some sections, the train even passes the same spot twice, which is how it got its name. Riding this nostalgic train, nicknamed "Ćira," half the fun is outside the window: the railway runs between Tara and Zlatibor mountains, passing through 22 tunnels and over several bridges in succession, with some tunnel walls still dripping with mountain water. The carriages retain the style of the 1930s, and the wooden details are full of old-world charm. To see the full "8" shape, you can look down from the viewing point near the Krst station, where the upper and lower tracks look like two railways stacked on top of each other. On the return journey, the train stops at a spot with a wide view for passengers to take photos. There is a longer stop at the final station, where you can get off and explore the old station building. The area around Mokra Gora station has been developed into a museum-style tourist complex, with a restaurant next to the station serving home-style Serbian dishes, andDrvengrad, created by director Kusturica, is not far away and is often visited in combination with the train ride.Mokra Gora · 16.8 km from Zlatibor

The elegant wooden village in Serbia, where all the houses are built entirely of wood, was the filming location for the movie "Life is a Miracle." It's a great place to relax and unwind, and I highly recommend a visit.

I discovered a stunning hidden gem in Zlatibor, a ski resort in Serbia! ❄️ You absolutely must experience the world's longest golden gondola cable car! 🚡 📍Gold gondola Zlatibor 🏠 Miladina Pećinara bb, Zlatibor 31315 Serbia ⏰ Open daily from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM (extended during the ski season) A 20-minute cable car ride takes you directly to the 1400-meter summit. The entire journey is breathtakingly beautiful, with a pristine, snow-covered landscape! Every snapshot is a winter wonderland! ❄️ There's also a gorgeous café at the summit. Be sure to try their signature latte! ☕️ Looking out at the snowy scenery is truly heartwarming. Tip: Remember to bring gloves and a scarf, as it gets extremely cold at the summit!

It's a very old train, each carriage is different, the scenery along the way is pretty good, but there are many caves. If you can't buy a seat ticket during holidays, you can stand at the connection of the carriages to take pictures for a better view (the front of the train is too noisy). Ordinary people can't tell the difference between wide gauge and narrow gauge. The journey is too long and it will be a bit boring later.

Located in the small town of Zlatibor in southwestern Serbia. In the border river between Serbia and Montenegro. In the past, people spent the summer in the river and stayed there for fun. It was not built by Milutinovic's nephew as the legend goes.
