Overview
This trail is one of Zlatibor’s hidden gems. The Chigota ridge lies to the south of Zlatibor. It is a picturesque chain of peaks, 1,300–1,400 metres high, offering panoramic views of the surrounding mountains on both sides. The highest point is Mount Chigota (1,422 m); this is where we start the trek and gradually descend towards the pine forests of Zlatibor, taking time to admire the scenery all around us. The trek is 13.5 km long, technically straightforward, with a total ascent of 400 m and a descent of 750 m.
In spring, the slopes of these mountains are covered in flowers; it’s absolutely beautiful there. And after the hike, a cosy restaurant awaits us.
The journey to Zlatibor is a long one – over three hours – but believe me, it’s well worth it.
