About Walk: centre to Tornik
Zlatibor’s classic hike sets off from Kraljev trg in the centre and follows quiet lanes, meadow paths and pine forest via Tusto brdo, Kobilja glava and Beli kamen. After about two and a half hours you reach the village of Ribnica, with a spring-water fountain and a shop for supplies. From there the path climbs along a ridge past the Toković cabins to Bandera, Tornik’s summit at 1,497 metres, about five hours from town at an easy pace. On the clearest days the view stretches to Durmitor in Montenegro and even Avala near Belgrade. Ride the Gold Gondola back down.
