The Serbia Scene ~ Fantasy Towns Drvengrad & Kamengrad
Welcome to Mieer Travel Tips and your guide to Serbia. Come join us on a fantasy adventure tour to Mokra Gora, a village in Serbia on the slopes of Mount Zlatibor. There is a great opportunity to not only enjoy the train ride at Šargan Eight, but also visit a couple of fantasy towns known as the famous Ethno-village of Drvengrad, and nearby village of Kamengrad.
During the early 2000’s, the Šarganska Osmica tourist railway was rebuilt by the Serbian Ministry of Tourism and the Serbian railways (Železnice Srbije) with great help from Emir Kusturica, a famous Serbian film director who had the town of Drvengrad (near the Šargan Eight station of Mokra Gora) built for one of his movies. With a lot more fascinating history than we can relate in a few minutes of film, do look up this inspiring filmmaker if you wish to learn more.
Nearby, the fantasy town of Andrićgrad, also known as Kamengrad, is a project built within the town of Višegrad, across the nearby border in Republika Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina, that was also inspired by filmmaker Emir Kusturica. It was officially opened on June 28, 2014. The town is dedicated to a Yugoslav novelist and winner of the 1961 Nobel Prize in Literature, Ivo Andrić (1892-1975).
Enjoy your visit to Serbia and make your own adventure day trip exploring the Mokra Gora region and the fantasy towns of Drvengrad and Kamengrad.
