ONE-DAY HIKING TRIP – SKITARA (Sjenič Viewpoint & Veliki Stolac Peak, Tara Mountain)
Autumn has already begun to make its entrance, yet the sunshine still pours through our windows. There is no better place to admire the fifty shades of red than on Tara Mountain. This time, we're heading to a place you don't stumble upon by chance. We're exploring the very heart of Tara—not a bone, diving into its depths—not the sea, and climbing high—not into space. Although Kosmos says: it's possible!

Itinerary
NOVI SAD – BELGRADE – PREDOV KRST – VELIKI STOLAC – SJENIČ VIEWPOINT
- Trail length: 20 km
- Elevation gain: 600 m
- Difficulty: Moderate
Departure is scheduled for October 11, 2026, from Novi Sad (ATP Vojvodina bus station, around 3:00 AM), followed by a stop in Belgrade (near the Sava Center, around 4:15 AM). The exact departure time and meeting point will be confirmed one day before the trip.
We will enjoy a comfortable drive toward Tara Mountain, with scheduled breaks for rest and border crossing procedures.
In the early morning, we will arrive at Predov Krst, one of the most secluded areas of Tara Mountain. A wide forest road leads us through dense woodland to Veliki Stolac, the highest peak of Tara. From the summit, breathtaking panoramic views stretch across the Drina River and the town of Višegrad, leaving every visitor speechless.
After reaching the summit, we begin a gentle descent, mostly along the same trail, except for one section leading to the spectacular Sjenič Viewpoint, famous for its tunnel-like wooden frame structure. The view extends endlessly across dramatic cliffs covered with conifer forests, making it easy to understand why the ancient Slavic god Tar chose this beautiful mountain as his home.
From there, we continue back to Predov Krst.
After completing the hike, we plan to stop for lunch before returning home in the evening.
