- This is the first time I was able to get deep into the heart of Serbia to discover what the interior of the Country is like. To explore the rugged mountain ranges and take in the scenic vantages while being on the ground. It was truly a wonderful experience. It was so close to resembling the Pacific Northwest in the USA, I almost felt I was there. I had heard from many travelers how beautiful Tara National Park was, but until you see this place first hand, it is hard to imagine. I had been on a hike with another foreigner to explore the area. It was about a 3-4 hour bus ride from Belgrade to Užice by taking two buses. The entire trip was about 4.5 -5 hours and cost about $10-$12 USD. Then I rode a taxi to the top of the mountain to see the vantage of amazing Tara National Park in all of its glory. Check it out!

Tara mountain is home of endemic plants , older then last ice age. Also it is a brown bear teritory so make a lot of noise when walking through the forest.
Boban thanks for sharing, never knew that place was so unique. Uggg not a bear fan. Had a camping incident as a child camping and a bear can into our camp, was so scary! Was age 10 or so.
1:47 All I can say is: “Watch your back”. I am glad you lived to tell the story. She was sizing you up.
Seemed very odd, looking back ya just never know.
So nice. I like these types of places. Enjoy a coffee with nice scenery..nature, people...
Very relaxing, do you have a favorite place also Frost Flower?
Sir youre in the right place, those kids very talented, national park very stunning, super cafe amazing!👍
Was a great week my friend, so glad you could enjoy it also. Thank you.
Simply stunning views Vern. Being so high and looking everything down feels like you are a God for that moment and thanking whoever is our creator. The forests there seem peaceful and beautiful. Would love to camp there.
Well said Vincent, was a magical place. I can imagine all of the early tribes of humanity standing where I was in awe of the sights also. Camping there would truly be epic!
Awesome 🗻 view I totally agree 😀
Amazing Tara
Totally agree, cheers!
Those kids are rocking it.
Superstars Bert! Cheers!
I started my day with your excursion. What a beautiful view. How are the people there? Are they friendly?
It's great to see new places. Thank you Vern, good health and take care 👍🙏
Very safe and people are friendly, don't worry about that.
It's Balkan culture. Don't expect the grins from ear to ear... but once they get to know you they will smile.
Hey C Greg, most people are very welcoming and kind/helpful. Some are shy if they don't know English, is normal. Appreciate the support, take care always!
Agree with that.
For some yes..for others I find it even more friendly up here as this area they are so used to foreigner interactions, as this is a worldwide hub for people to visit.
Good video Vern, I'm not big into hiking, but them views were worth the trip.
Thanks Denis, never knew the Balkans were so amazing my whole life, till I seen them up close and in person. I f you are ever here it is a short walk from a taxi to this site well worth the effort to experience.
I'm a solo traveler becuz I can't spend any exra energy on an adult who isn't accomodating and is hard to please. It's everyones vacation, not just 1 person.. great video & conversation
Well said Solo Traveler....I can relate to that. Well said. My weakness is I get somewhere amazing and I feel lonely with nobody to share the moment with...so I find it harder to be solo. You ever feel that?
Great views from any angle! I enjoy nature with views like this and glad you are experiencing the wonders of your travel adventures! Stay safe of incoming bears! Haha!
Cheers Juan Carlos, you are the best! Marked..."safe from bears".....Ha!
They ' so cute and talented I hope somebody will discover them.
Agreed Rebecca so much potential in those kids. Cheers!
Two guys at the begining:
Bijelo dugme - Djurdjevdan ( famous Serbian folk song)
Awsome thanks for sharing that. I hope those kids get famous also. Cheers.
Those 2 boys playing the music are gypsies. Many of them go into that profession and play at weddings and other places. In fact, many singers in Serbia are of Rom origin especially of yesteryear.
Thanks for sharing. Those kids are amazing for their age. They have some real talent to be something special.
An unfortunate encounter with bears on Tara has not been documented for decades, I think.
Is good to know ;)> Had a scary event when I was a kid camping a bear was in the camp....Never forget those trauma times ha .
Could also be related to Taranis the Celtic Thor, which was probably the same "God" as Thor. Thor is pronounced whithout the "h" like a lot of words in old Celtic or Gaelic (Gathelic). Illyrians were also big around there who are always referred to as "ancient Greeks". Usually, when they use that term it is another word for Phoenicians, not always, but often. Illyrians mixed in with the Celts and were still called Illyrians (the same people who mixed back in).
Could be from the same god Thor. Nobody knows the origins. Could also be related to the Tatra mountains between Slovakia and Poland. A lot of names that you find in Serbia are also found north to them like Morava river in Slovakia.
@@frostflower5555 Could also be related to the name Sara or Tsara a mountain south of there. For all we know it could be related to the Sava river too. Ive noticed that many names the Celts gave to European rivers, mountains and cities are usually left out of the subject. For instance Sofia, Bulgaria was a Celtic city (Serdica). I lived there for a year and never knew that. Why is it not important to know the first inhabitants of Europe?
Is an interesting thought Richard. So many different versions from so many people. Todays video (up soon) you might find interesting. It is a walk n talk from a local historian. I have possibly enough material for a part two if people seem interested. Let me know if you liked part one. Cheers.
Thanks for sharing.
Looks like you took a coatch which goes back roads, via Valjevo and Debelo Brdo.
Yes sir, the path of least resistance. Have you been into these parts before Goran?
I wish that I was as intelligent as these two young men and learned a instrument at such a early age......
Amen, well said. Took me 20 years to finally get a few guitar songs out . Do you play anything now David?
Visit Rtanj world biggest pyramid in the world ita about 200km from Tara 🌏💭
To nije piramida, a svakako ne najveća. Jebo te Vučić!
@@igorfilipovic6531 Какве везе има Вучић са било чим овде?! Ти си оптерећен њиме. Отиђи лепо до Ртња, проведи који дан у околним селима па донеси било какав закључак.
Вучићева пирамида Смрти ! 😂
@@goransukovic8703 Шта вам је, људи? Какав Вучић? Теорије о Ртњу и разним гравитационим феноменима тамо имате на снимцима ТВ Београд још из Титовог времена, а књиге на ту тему објављују се од 19-ог века. Неписмена омладина мисли да је свет настао пре 10 година.
@@chilechichich465 ма, зезам се 😁
Name of the song that start at 1.57 please
Cheers is a great tune! IS called "never as lonely" by St Mikel Feat. Anya Gold, oomiee is what is on the tags
BTW Vern. Check Thailand's update for entry.
Now that is a great idea Jordan.......Thanks my friend!
nice hike vern with beautiful views. did u say it took 3-4 hours bus ride to the park? another 3-4 hours to go back? so u spent half a day on the bus or is there a place to stay there overnight. would be nice if u could spend the night there and spend more time there hiking
Cheers A F , yea was probably 5 hrs in total with the two buses. I spent the nightat a hostel there, then back the next morning. My schedule was running tight, but agreed time was much too short in that place.
Odd its named "Tara" like Tara in Ireland. The Scordisci, a Celtic tribe were all over Serbia. I wonder if they named it. Cant find any etymology of the name so its possible it is related.
Cool to where history can teach and leads us...cheers!
You are right, the name is Celtic.
@@user-wy5wq5cg6i how do you know?
@@richardm893 It is common knowledge here.
@@user-wy5wq5cg6i That figures, there is nothing on the internet on it.
Hey Vern. Those kids were great! Good advice, in any interaction, but traveling your time is usually too precious to be farting around with grumble bums. Beautiful country.
Hey Jordan, I am a big fan of lifting up the little guy as everyone needs a hand up from time to time. Very beautiful indeed. Take care also.
