Mokra Gora

Mokra Gora
is the most attractive tourist - museum railroad in Europe and is mentioned as unique construction masterpiece in the world, among narrow - gauge lines. It used to connect Belgrade with Sarajevo and Dubrovnik, and it was put into operation on 2 February 1925. The problem of 300 m difference in altitude between Mokra Gora and Sargan and the 3.5 km distance was solved in a unique, and only possible way - with an unusual railway line loop in the form of number 8. This exceptional line is 13.5 km long, 22 tunels have been constructed along the line (the longest one below Sargan bearing the name of Alexander the First ), 5 bridges (the longest 44.30 m long on the River Kamesina) and viaducts.
The railway line closed in 1974.

ZTP Belgrade has stared with the restoration of this railway in the year 1999 and made it for tourist purposes. Thanks to the very strenuous engagement of the people of ZTP, this part of our history has been stolen from the forgetting it. The words of the famous prophet, so-called Serbian Nostradam, Mitar Tarabic, said at the end of XIX century: "Many years will pass before the people will recall again of the steal road, so they shouldst again make this road. Only with its road to Visegrad the people will not travel for the job or their need, but people will travel for fun, relaxation and enjoyment."

A special contribution to the promotion of Mokra Gora was made by our famous film director Emir Kusturica who shot his film " Life is a Miracle " there. Having built an ethno - village on the hill of Mecavnik, Emir became a resident of Mokra Gora.
