Three Serbian mountain resorts that are ideal for self-isolation at the time of coronavirus
This time when all our compatriots are forced to stay in quarantine leads us to start thinking about some of the nicer places we could be spending our time in during this period. Even though, it's true, there's no place like home.
But it's also true that staying put in one and the same space for a prolongued period of time can very much bore us.
All the more so since life in the city has its advantages and disadvantages. One of the drawbacks is certainly the lack of open spaces, unless you are lucky enough to live in a house with a spacious, well-kept garden. Those of you enjoying those living conditions will certainly find it easier to endure the period of compulsory home isolation, and the reduction of social contact due to coronavirus.
With that in mind, we came up with three mountains in Serbia where your self-isolation would certainly not be a problem. Of course there are many more mountains in our country where you can take a break and enjoy the fresh air - with or without any ongoing virus pandemic - but these three are our choices.
Rudnik Mountain
Located near the town of Gornji Milanovac, Mount Rudnik is approximately 100 kilometers away from Belgrade. The highest peak is the Cvijic Peak, located at 1,132 meters above sea level.
Ever since gettinh officially designated as an air spa in 1922, this mountain has been attracting an increasing number of visitors throughout the year.
Mt. Rudnik also has a strictly administred nature reserve called Veliki Sturac, which covers an area of about eight hectares. This natural good was placed under state protection in 1956.
During June, accommodation for two persons based on 10 overnight stays on this mountain costs approximately 150 to 200 euros, if you choose to rent from private home owners.
For comparison, in the same period on Tara Mountain, the price of accommodation is between 300 and 400 euros, if you decide to rent a log cabin, while the price for renting a mountain house with multiple bedrooms start from 600 euros.
Golija Mountain
Mountain peaks rising 1,400 meters above sea level make up one of the treasures of Mount Golija. The highest peak is Jankov's Stone, located at an altitude of 1,833 meters.
The mountain is about 230 kilometers from Belgrade, about 30 kilometers from Novi Pazar and about 40 kilometers from Ivanjica.
Tourism on this mountain is developing quite quickly, so recently it has been improved with ski slopes and gondola lifts, and all that is necessary to make up a ski resort.
Private accommodation on this mountain is priced from about 380 to about 500 euros, for two people during the month of June , for 10 overnight stays.
Jastrebac Mountain
The highest peak on Jastrebac Mountain is Velika Djulica and is located at 1,491 meters above sea level. The resort is located at an altitude of 480 meters and that is precisely where many accommodation facilities are found.
Bed and breakfast in a double room costs 3,000 dinars per night unit until April 30, while during other months the price is 4,200 dinars. If you want to rent an apartment for two people in one of the hotels on this mountain, the price is 4,500 dinars, or 6,500 dinars in the period after April 30.
