Bus from RIJEKA to ZLATIBOR

About the station RIJEKA

Rijeka is the principal seaport and the third-largest city in Croatia (after Zagreb and Split). It is located on Kvarner Bay, an inlet of the Adriatic Sea and has a population of 190,000 inhabitants. Because of its strategic position and its excellent deep-water port, the city was fiercely contested, especially among Italy, Hungary (serving as the Kingdom of Hungary's largest and most important port), and Croatia, changing hands and demographics many times over centuries. The city's economy largely depends on shipbuilding and maritime transport. Rijeka hosts the Croatian National Theatre Ivan pl. Zajc, first built in 1765, as well as the University of Rijeka, founded in 1973 but with roots dating back to 1632 School of Theology. Rijeka has efficient road connections to other parts of Croatia and neighbouring countries. The A6 motorway connects Rijeka to Zagreb via the A1, while the A7 motorway, completed in 2004, links Rijeka with Ljubljana, Slovenia, via Ilirska Bistrica and with Trieste, Italy. The A7 acts as the Rijeka bypass motorway and facilitates access to the A8 motorway of the Istrian Y network starting with the Učka Tunnel, and linking Rijeka with Istria.

About the destination ZLATIBOR

Zlatibor is a mountain and nature park in Serbia, covering an area of about 1,000 km², 55 km long and up to 20 km wide. It stretches in a northwest-southeast direction. The highest peak of the mountain is Tornik (1,496 m).

Zlatibor is located in the northern part of the Stari Vlah region, the border region between Raška, Herzegovina and Polimlje. It covers the areas of three municipalities of the Republic of Serbia: Čajetina and a part of the municipality of Užice (Kremanska oblast) northern Zlatibor and a smaller part of the municipality of Nove Varoš (Murtenica oblast) southern Zlatibor.

Zlatibor has always had great border significance. On the Cigli hill near Jablanica, the border of Serbia with two empires — the Austro-Hungarian and the Turkish — can still be seen today. The first written traces of the name of the mountain, and this region, date back to the time of the first Serbian uprising. It is believed that the mountain was named after a very rare type of white pine, the so-called golden pine, which is under state protection.

Since it is located in the geographical center of Serbia, it is well connected to all major cities in the region. Zlatibor is located halfway between Belgrade and the Montenegrin and Dubrovnik coasts. Many important highways and railways cross it, including the Belgrade-Bar railway. The nearest major city is Užice.

Because it is a mountain of exceptional beauty and a pleasant climate, it is very suitable for various types of tourism. Zlatibor is a health spa, a recreational center, a ski resort, a center of cultural events and gatherings of people from all over.

The Zlatibor region is rich in a large number of cultural and historical monuments, among which the local churches and monasteries occupy a special place: the Jablanica church, the Uvac monastery, the Dubrava monastery, are just some of the more famous.

Excursions to the surrounding villages, on horses, carriages or off-road vehicles "quads", parties in discos and nightclubs, frequent concerts by famous musicians, recreation on tennis and golf courts, modernly equipped ski resorts, traditional local cuisine, tell us that Zlatibor is synonymous with a universal vacation.
