Drina River House
After a half an hour ride we arrive at the Bosnia and
Herzegovina border and Drina River to our second stop. A little wooden house on an
isolated rock in the middle of the Drina River became a true world attraction. This house
located at Bajina Bašta resists nature for 45 years, and after National Geographic magazine
devoted one of its issues to it, Daily Mail also wrote about this magical handmade piece.
Recently, Business Insider also mentioned it and ranked it top 16 weirdest houses in the
world. The Little House on Drina is a symbol of Bajina Bašta and one of the most famous
river landmarks in Serbia and the whole Podrinje region, also known as Zelenika. In time, it
became so popular that there are thousands of newspapers, televisions, internet portals,
and tourist brochures that daily bring stories, videos, and images of the famous house on
the rock.

Sargan
Sargan eight is the most attractive tourist-museum railway
in Europe and is also known as a unique construction masterpiece in the world among
narrow gauge railways. This railway connected Belgrade and Sarajevo from 1925 to 1974.
Today, it connects Mokra Gora with Sargan Vitasi station and presents a remarkable and
probably the most visited tourist attraction in Serbia. Surrounded by three mountains, cut
by river valleys that partly turn into gorges, rich with mountain streams and springs, waste
forests, and flowery meadows, Mokra Gora is one of the most impressive sights in Europe.
The train ‘Nostalgia’ is an original and authentic locomotive made with restored wagons. It
brings the spirit of the old times and it takes us over 5 bridges, through 22 tunnels,
conquering an altitude of 300 meters. During the two-and-a-half-hour ride, you will enjoy
the most beautiful scenery of the Serbian mountain beauties.

Drvengrad
Located on Mecavnik hill in Mokra Gora nature park, the meeting point
of two beautiful Serbian mountains Tara and Zlatibor, ethno village ‘Drvengrad’ or 'Wooden town' is a product
of film director Emir Kusturica’s imagination, and was built for the production of his film
‘Life is a miracle'. Around the world, it is better known under the name of Kustendorf, a
gorgeous oasis just beside Mokra Gora, a town of only 605 residents, not far from the city of
Užice. ‘Drvengrad’ is a rectangular ethno village with the main street leading from the
entrance gate on one end to a small wooden Christion-orthodox church on the other.
The streets in the village are named after some famous people. Here, we will make a lunch break before we return to Belgrade. We arrive in Belgrade in the late afternoon hours. The end of the tour.
