EXCURSION

The excursion will be organized on September 5, 2012 from 14.00 to 20.00.

Using the Sargan's Eight, we plan to visit Mokra gora. The Sargan's Eight is a narrow railway connecting towns of Uzice and Visegrad on the old Belgrade-Sarajevo railway built in 1925; and it was abandoned in 1974 when newer modern railroad was built. In 1999 renewal of the old railway began by construction of the rails in the part from the Sargan Vitasi station to Mokra Gora. The steam engine called "Ćira" is running on the 13,5 km long railway and it can overcome the altitude difference of 300 m. The railway, with unusual loop in a form of figure of eight, is passing through colorful region. There are 22 tunnels and about 10 bridges and viaducts on the railway.)

We also plan to visit Drvengrad (means Wooden town) a traditional village on the hill Mecavnik constructed by the famous film director Emir Kusturica for his film 'Life is a Miracle'. Drvengrad is a place in which many cultural events take place and it is well-known by the annual Kustendorf Film and Music Festival.
