For solo travelers craving storybook villages, vintage trains, and mountain air, Mokra Gora—a pine-scented valley in western Serbia—is a hidden gem straight from a folk tale.

Why Go Solo?

· Šargan Eight Train: Ride the 1925 narrow-gauge steam train (€12) through 22 tunnels and over heart-stopping viaducts—best window seats are solo!
· Wooden Wonderland: Explore Drvengrad (Kustendorf), Emir Kusturica’s whimsical ethno-village with cinema nostalgia and artsy cabins.
· Hiker’s Bliss: Trek the Mećavnik Ridge for panoramic views of the Dinaric Alps.

Solo Must-Dos

🎬 Film Buff Detour: Visit the Kustendorf Film Festival site (January only) or year-round movie set charm.
🍴 Mountain Feast: Try pečenje (slow-roasted lamb) at Kod Mije—locals’ pick!
📸 Sunset Magic: Catch the golden hour over the Zlatibor peaks from the train’s last carriage.

Pro Tips

· Bus/Train: From Belgrade, take a bus to Užice + taxi to Mokra Gora (~€20).
· Stay Unique: Sleep in a traditional vajat (wooden hut) at Etno Village Šargan.
· Cash Only: ATMs are scarce—bring dinars.

For solos who love quirky, quiet adventures, Mokra Gora is Serbia’s enchanted valley. 🚞✨ #solointhemountains
