Discover Šljivovica

Šljivovica combines protected nature, varied trails and specific destinations for active holiday days. Families can choose between easy hikes, a cycling route, an excursion to viewpoints and winter activities. Those looking for a holiday apartment or holiday home will find a place where their preferred daily activities can easily become the most important criterion when choosing a location.

Nature among forests, clearings and water

The protected Račanska Šljivovica site covers 17.81 hectares. There are also reserves of omorika spruce in the area around Šljivovica. Clearings with medicinal herbs, as well as springs and streams, add further characteristic elements to the landscape. This combination makes the area particularly interesting for travellers who want to experience nature not merely as a backdrop, but as a tangible part of their holiday days.

An old forester’s hut in Račanska Šljivovica has been converted into a learning and information centre of Tara National Park. In addition to the trails and natural areas, this provides a place where you can engage with the surrounding area and its nature.

Cycling, hiking and destinations

A cycling route that starts and ends in Šljivovica is 26 km long. The Visoka Tara cycling route starts and ends at the Šljivovica Education Centre. Those choosing a holiday apartment in Šljivovica can take these two clearly defined starting and finishing points into account when planning, without having to set their cycling days in advance.

The wide clearings and forest paths in Šljivovica are suitable for easy family hikes. The forest paths around Šljivovica are also suitable for mountain biking. This allows different interests to coexist within one trip: one day can be devoted to an easier hike, and another to cycling. There is also a riding school at the riding stable near the monastery farms.

The destinations in the surrounding area include Hajdučka česma, a marked excursion spot about 2 km away. Sokolarica is a rock formation with a viewpoint over the Rača Canyon and is located approximately 2 to 3 km away in the direction of Mitrovac. The approximate distances should be retained as a guide when planning a day trip. Jarevac is a small lake with a dam below the former “Šljivovica” Hotel and is also a developed excursion spot.

Winter activities and the right accommodation

Šljivovica has a small ski slope with a ski school. The ski slope is suitable for beginners and children. This means that a stay can also be planned when not all travellers have the same level of winter-sports experience. Those looking for a holiday apartment or holiday home in winter can therefore make sure that a ski slope and ski school fit their desired travel profile. In other seasons, the cycling route, forest paths, clearings and excursion destinations remain the main points of reference.

Račanska Šljivovica is located on the road between Kaluđerske Bare and Mitrovac. When choosing a location, you can weigh up whether the landscape, easy family hikes, cycling or the small ski slope should define your trip.

Other places for orientation

For further orientation, you can also explore Brdo, Užice, Sjenica, Kosjeric, Rožanstvo, Kamenica, Duškovci and Požega. Šljivovica itself is particularly suitable as a search direction if you want to combine nature-oriented accommodation with specific opportunities for exercise, excursions and winter activities.
