Overview
13-hour cross-region day tour — 22-tunnel 5-bridge Šargan-8 narrow-gauge + Kusturica's Drvengrad film village + the iconic Drina river house
Highlights
Šargan-8 narrow-gauge steam train: Built 1925, looping figure-8 with 22 tunnels and 5 bridges in 300 m of climb — 2.5 hours of 1920s East-European time travel.
Drvengrad film village (Kusturica): All-wooden hilltop village built by director Emir Kusturica — set of Underground and Life is a Miracle, the pilgrim site for Chinese cinephiles.
Drina River House: A wooden cabin on a lone rock in the middle of the Drina River — the National Geographic cover that put Serbia on the social-media map.
Mokra Gora National Park: Serbia's best-preserved mountain wilderness, an offshoot of the Zlatibor range, magic in misty weather.
