Rtanj is considered as on of the most popular hiking mountains in Serbia. With its unusual pyramid shape, it inspires many local legends and tales which your guide will be happy to share with you.
We are taking the southern trail which is considered for the least demanding (if you want more demanding hike, please inquire). The hike to the summit is approximately 3 hours with few stops for catching a breath, but also for catching breathtaking views over Timočka krajina.
Trail has 2 portions, first is about until 1000 meters of elevation through nice green forest. Second part of the trail is quite steep, so to overcome last 500m of elevation difference will be the most exhausting, but also the most fulfilling thanks to breathtaking views. The summit is really unique, since Rtanj Mountain is the highest point in kilometres around.The name of highest peak of Rtanj is Šiljak (Spike) and the elevation is 1560m a.s.l.
After exploring Rtanj it's time for lunch, and we know a perfect place in a nearby village (Ilino) where we can treat our self with some tasty local specialties. From Ilino we return back to Belgrade in the evening.
