Photographer’s Note

On the northern slopes of Mount Zlatibor, you can find the village of Mokra Gora, literally ‘wet mountain'. Located here is the Sargan-8 narrow gauge railroad, which climbs 300 meters up the mountainside in a figure-8 pattern.

Also near Mokra Gora is the ethno village of Drvengrad, a fully constructed new wooden village that was the creation of world-famous Serbian film director Emir Kusturica. While shooting one of his movies in the area, Kusturica noticed that although rain in the area lasted for days on end, one hilltop in the distance was nearly always in sunshine. He decided to build a village there that typified 19th century life on the mountains of Zlatibor and Tara. The village has several original and reconstructed cottages, a cinema, library, art gallery and shops.
