KUKUTNICA (1382 m)

To reach Kukutnica, you must drive by the Ibar highway, to Pozega, and then turn toward Arilje and Ivanjica. After Arilje, in village Prilike, turn right, toward village of Katici. There is a signpost for Katici. Distance between Belgrade and Katici is 210 km. When you pass Katici, pay attention, there is a hardly visible sign for Kukutnica. I was lucky to find it! The path to the top is unpaved and unmarked, so I do not recommend to go up by car.

Beneath the top is a monument, which is dedicated to the famous Kukutnica battle, which took place in 1809. The highest peak is on the rocks above the monument, but, because of the dense vegetation and inaccessible terrain, hikers comes only to the monument.
