SUVA PLANINA (Divna Gorica 1389 m)

Divna Gorica is located opposite of Trem (1810 m), the highest peak of Suva planina. From Divna Gorica, you can see the whole ridge of Trem, from Djordjina čuka (1735 m) to Sokolov kamen (1523 m).

The beginning of the trail is in the village of Mokra, near Bela Palanka. About 300 km from Belgrade (3 hours by car). Drive along the Belgrade-Nis highway, to Bela Palanka and the village of Mokra. Mokra is located 3-4 km after Bela Palanka.

After you pass Mokra, on the right side of the road is a wooden board and a macadam road. It is the beginning of the trail, at 450 meters a.s.l.

• 

If you follow the macadam road, you will come below the Preslap pass (1200 m). That path is much longer (for 3 km) than the path which leads through the forest. The path that leads through the forest, and crosses the macadam road, is currently marked with yellow tapes. The forest path is at about 1 km from the starting point. This is the beginning of the shorter path:

Distance between the starting point (450 m) and Divna Gorica (1389 m) is 6.5 km (2.5 hours), with 900 m of ascent. Although the height difference is big, the climb is not so demanding. First you will hike to the Preslap pass, with a beautiful viewpoint on the ridge of Trem.

• 

From Preslap, a slightly demanding climb follows. Climb is 1 km long (30 minutes), on rocky terrain, to Divna Gorica. As soon as you reach the ridge, you can see the peaks of Rzenac (1451 m) and Pasarello (1522 m), on the left.

• 

From Divna Gorica is a great view at peaks Trem and Sokolov Kamen.

Great tour, accessible to most hikers, even to those with a lower fitness condition. I wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone!
