The view from Ovcar is truly expansive and beautiful. There are hiking trails here, but it's also possible to drive almost to the top by car. It's a rocky, dirt road, which was paved when we drove there. We drove a 4x4, but I think a regular car would also be able to handle this road, which is very winding and high. The parking lot is at the end of the road and is quite spacious. I highly recommend coming here, or driving there, as there's plenty to see.
