On "the Train of Wonder";, the history of the little train wandering between Bosnia and Serbia not knowing where it on fact was going to, and then the sympathetic head of the station exceeded by the events. And you had a possibility to live through the same trembling moments through borrowing the train "Sarganska Osmica";. Twenty six kilometres North-East from Zlatibor on the mountain range of the massive of Sargan the tourist station is waiting for you.

In the history of this little train having been rescued there are few but shameful symbolic things of the Yugoslav history. Between 1921 and 1974a little train gravitated through these mountains of West Serbia to link the Mokra Gora villages. This was also one of the main railway axes between Belgrade and Sarajevo. Thus it symbolised the connection between Serbia and Bosnia. But its particularity was the following: to overcome 300 meters difference in height between little stations Mokra Gora and Sargan the engineers had found out an ingenious system which was in realisation of not less than 22 tunnel on 15 kilometres distance on the rail in the form of figure eight, wherefrom the name "Sarganska Osmica" Thus, most foolish is that the station of Jatare became the only station in the world where, even if the train stopped at the fixed time every day, nobody bought a ticket an nobody came out of the train. One could challenge anybody by the question of wherefrom came the train and whereto it continued its way. In 1999 the inhabitants of this region cleared up the garbage on 10 kilometres long rails and the government decided to make a tourist circuit. You entered the carriages from the 1930 pulled by a steam engine. Along 15.5 km you breath the fresh air of the country in the wooden compartments or you go to an ancient minute wagon-restaurant. The landscape of pictures and fir tree forests are parading before your eyes. You perceive a peasant or a shepherd preparing his distillatory.

At the station of Mokra Gora you may eat in a comfortable restaurant. There is also the possibility to sleep in the rooms on the first floor. Emir Kusturica has arranged an ethno village here which is at the same time a cinema studio in the full nature. You may take a walk in a true village of a west Serbia such as it was in XIX century, with its houses of wood brought directly from the environment. The church, the library, the gallery of arts, the swimming pool and evidently a cinema theatre have been entirely integrated in the urbanisation and the architecture of the age. In the local "poslasticarnica" the Coca Cola has been substituted by the delicious "boza", sugared drink drunk in all pastry shops.

The tour lasts 1.35 hours with the first start at 10.35 a.m. and the lat one at 9 p.m.  For more information contact Djoko Topalovic on 063 810 64 29.
