LOCATION
Rudnik is a mountain in central Serbia, near the town of Gornji Milanovac. Its highest peak Cvijićev vrh, named after geologist and biologist Jovan Cvijić, has an elevation of 1,132 meters above sea level. It has several other peaks over 1000 m: Srednji Šturac, Mali Šturac, Molitve, Paljevine and Marijanac. Rudnik literally means 'mine' in Serbian, apparently referring to the mountain's rich mineral resources. The name is probably a testament to the mining activity associated with the mountain throughout several millennia.
The Rudnik is covered in deciduous forest mainly consisting of beech trees, maple and oak forests interspersed with clear brooks and green glades. In total, there are some 650 plant species inhabiting the mountain, of which more than 100 are endemic or medicinal.
In the lower areas of Mt. Rudnik, visitors can see rabbits, pheasants and partridges, while wild boars, roe deer, foxes and martens inhabit its higher areas.The mountain, situated at the junction of river basins of the Zapadna Morava, the Velika Morava and the Kolubara, is abundant in rivers - the largest of which are Despotovica and Gruža.
The pleasant air streams, the plentiful annual sunshine and the highly ionized air are beneficial to visitors’ health.
