Hiking on Rtanj mountain

Hike on Serbia’s most mysterious mountain – Rtanj. The one which belongs to the Serbian Carpathians and whose highest peak Šiljak is 1,565m.

According to a legend, the castle of a wizard was situated on its top, in which a great treasure was guarded. However, the castle has disappeared within the mountain, trapping the wealthy sorcerer inside. Nowadays, there are ruins of a little chapel on the peak dedicated to St. George. It was built in 1932 by the wife of a former local miner. Today, the chapel is in ruins, as it was partly destroyed by dynamite, when treasure hunters tried to find the hidden gold.

For some New Age believers, the pyramidal shape of the mountain is due to it containing an alien pyramid emitting mystical energies. Many people have flocked here prior to the predicted Mayan Doomsday, believing it will protect them.

Word of advice: Please bring appropriate shoes for hiking, extra t-shirts, a lot of water, sunscreen & some hat.
