Tara is a mountain located in western Serbia. It is part of Dinaric Alps and stands at 1,000 to 1,590 m (3,280 to 5,220 ft). In 1981 it became a National park with 249.92 km2 area and around 83.5% of the territory is under forest. There is over 260km of marked hiking trails. I was here 4 times for a few days, and i can say that i seen almost nothing.

As always we were late with the start of the trip so after around 6 hours on the road we got to our accommodation a bit late. The place where we were staying is called Zeleni Čardaci.

Tara mountain is great because there all kinds of hiking trails. There are some that could last for hours and are not easy, but you can also see a lot of great nature on a trails that are not that complicated and you can get really close with your car. We had 3 small children in our "family" so it was important to find some trails to enjoy the nature, but not be that far from "civilisation".

As i said in my previous post, no really spectacular photos with great sunsets and sunrises, great light and view, but when you want to rest, barbeque, chill and drink, hike, hang around, something must suffer :D This time it was photography and sleep :D
