Zlatar

Zlatar Mountain with the highest top called Golo brdo (1.627 m in altitude) raises above the banks of the rivers Lim, Uvac, Mileševka and Bistrica in Western Serbia. According to a special law of the Serbian Government, Zlatar was proclaimed an „air spa“, a unique mix of three air currents, picturesque pastures, meadows, and clear lakes surrounded with forests of spruce and birch. The Mediterranean and mountain climate, therapeutic air enriched with turpentine and ozone and infinite views explain the origin of the name of Zlatar (Golden in Serbian).
