About the station 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.

Vranje is famous for its popular, old music, lively and melancholic at the same time. The best known music is from the theater piece with music, Koštana, by Bora Stanković.

It is played particularly by the Vranje Romani people.
