Although not a very popular mountain, it is very interesting because of its exceptional view of the meanders of Morava and the surrounding area. Although the mountain is relatively low and accessible, although there are also higher mountains nearby, the view is due to the relative altitude, i.e. the height difference compared to the foothills. It is recommended to visit the monasteries (especially Sretenje in Dučalovići), but also to pay special attention to the presence of poisonous snakes, which are really abundant (we also heard the testimonies of local residents and workers on the repeater). Of course, this should not stop you from enjoying yourself as long as you are aware of where you are and considerate
