The wreath of the Valjevo mountains stretches for about 75 km, in the shape of a horseshoe around Valjevo and has an average height of 1100-1350 meters above sea level. They are very rich in real mountain rivers of picturesque flow, and canyon type, as well as sources of cold water. The highest peak in the wreath is Mali Povlen with an altitude of 1347 meters, and also the highest peak in northwestern Serbia.[/vc_column_text][vc_tabs][vc_tab title=”Povlen” tab_id=”1575235791-1-98″][vc_column_text]Povlen is the most noticeable and largest massif in the chain of Valjevo mountains. It is a half hour drive from Valjevo on the way to Bajina Basta. The second road to the slopes and ridges of Povlen leads next to the famous monasteries of Ćelija and Lelić.
This mountain, of the Dinaric direction of extension, consists of two parts with a somewhat inappropriate name – Mali and Veliki Povlen. The inconvenience is that Mali Povlen (1347m) is higher than Veliki Povlen (1271m) and represents the highest point of the entire Valjevo mountains. Both Povlen lie southwest of Valjevo, and west of Magleš and Bukovo. From them, the direction of the Valjevo mountains changes: instead of the comparative one, they (Povlen, Jablanik, Medvednik, Sokolska planina, Jagodna and Gučevo) acquire the Dinaric direction. The only exception is Boranja, which stretches in the southwest-northeast direction.
Mali Povlen is somewhat asymmetrical – its southwest side is steeper than the northeast. It is certainly a consequence of the incision of a deep, gorge-like valley, but also of the fault along the southwest side. The ridge of Mali Povlen itself is relatively narrow, but it does not represent a distinctly rocky wreath, but consists of mild hummocks between which several shallow sinkholes have been cut.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tab][vc_tab title=”Maljen” tab_id=”1575235791-2-87″][vc_column_text]It is a small mountain in Serbia, located south of Valjevo. It stretches in an east-west direction for about 25 km. The most famous tourist place on the mountain Maljen are Divčibare, which are located at an altitude of about 980 m above sea level. At Divčibare, there is the Skakalo waterfall, which ranks sixth among the highest waterfalls in Serbia. It is located on the river Manastirica and is 30 meters high.
Maljen and its western part Bukovi 756 m are real Valjevo mountains, which stretch in the west-east direction. The northern parts are built of limestone and that is why its northern edges are quite steeply cut and represent sections. Faults also contributed to the steep incision, but not only on the northern but also on the southern sides of this mountain, and therefore it falls steeply into the vast Kosjerić and Montenegrin valleys. From Lastra, through Divčibare to the highest peak Maljena, the land is made of serpentines and euphotes. Maljen consists of rocks of different ages. Jurassic limestone, Jurassic diabase-hornblende formation, mafia and ultramafiti occur here. Ultramafits are most widespread in Maljen and Suvobor. Creation creations are spread on both of these mountains[/vc_column_text][/vc_tab][vc_tab title=”Suvobor” tab_id=”1575239491186-2-3″][vc_column_text]Suvobor is a mountain in Serbia, located about 120 km south of Belgrade, with the highest peak of 864 m between Rajac and Maljen. It is a watershed between the tributaries of the West Morava and Kolubara. It is covered with young oak forests (in bays) and coniferous forest crops that cover most of it. At the Ravna gora site, there is a beech forest that is surrounded by the Grab watercourse. Inside it is the Wet Cave which is one of the springs of the Hornbeam. There is a lot of game on Suvobor (deer, rabbit, pheasant) and the terrain is very attractive for hunters.
Suvobor is rich in springs and watercourses. Below its peaks are the springs of Dičina, Čemernica and their tributaries. As the mountain Suvobor represents a beautiful landscape area, it has the most elements of wilderness in the entire territory of the Republic of Serbia.
Suvobor – hunting ground is located on the mountain Suvobor (38 km from Gornji Milanovac). It covers an area of 7,740 hectares, and deer, rabbit and partridge are hunted. Hunters can be accommodated in Rajac or in hotels in Gornji Milanovac and Ljig. The nearest vacation spot is located 10 km from Ravna Gora in the ethno-village Andjelija Misic in Kostunici. There, next to the hotel that is under construction, there are currently about 50 beds in the sculptures and buildings that make up the ethno-village.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tab][vc_tab title=”Jablanik” tab_id=”1575239492406-3-7″][vc_column_text]Jablanik is a mountain in western Serbia, in the group of Valjevo mountains. The highest peak is Jablanik with 1,275 m. It was built mostly of diabase-hornblende, partly of serpentine, and the highest parts were built of Triassic limestone. It receives an average of 1,800 mm of precipitation per year. Under the grassy pastures on high plateaus, gardens were built. The road Valjevo – Rogačica passes by Jablanik.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tab][vc_tab title=”Medvednik” tab_id=”1575239493539-4-1″][vc_column_text]Mountain Medvednik is located not far from the town of Valjevo (30km) and with 1247 meters above sea level (m above sea level) is located in the center of the mountain range which from the Drina in the west through Gučevo, Boranja, Jagodnja and Sokolska mountains continues with a chain of Valjevo mountains (1247 m above sea level), Jablanica (1274 m above sea level), Povlen (highest 1347 m above sea level), Maljen (Kraljev sto, 1104 m above sea level), and end with Suvobor and Rajac in the east.
Medvednik got its name from the fact that this mountain on the Valjevo side is seen as a real big bear that was lying down to rest. Others claimed that the name came from the large number of bears that were hunted earlier, while others claimed that cream cheese and lamb were used here as honey, so the mountain got this name.
The slopes are densely overgrown with beech forest, with good yields of mushrooms and meadows with wild strawberries and medicinal herbs. The beech forest is thinning, while artificially introduced pine appears, and in the lower parts, cultural areas under raspberry and blackberry plantations are easily visible, which has a significant share in the income of the local population. The northern slopes are leaning from the east on the very close mountain Jablanik and the undulating plateaus of the upper basin of the river Jablanica covered with forest.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tab][/vc_tabs][vc_gallery type=”mosaic” images=”6809,6808,6807,6806,6805,6804,6803,6802,6801″ css_animation_each=”true”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_widget_sidebar sidebar_id=”sidebar-page”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
