Descripción

Golija (from old Serbian 'golema' - huge) stretches for 32 km (20 mi) between the towns of Ivanjica and Novi Pazar in a C-shape. The highest peak is Jankov Kamen at 1833 meters (Janko's Stone, which Janko allegedly carried to the mountaintop as a part of a bet with his brother Rajko).

The northern slopes of Jankov Kamen are overgrown with Spruce forests in which you can find Zorzal Charlo, Mirlo Capiblanco, Cascanueces Común, Carbonero Garrapinos, Herrerillo Capuchino, Carbonero Montano, Reyezuelo Listado, Acentor Común and Chocha Perdiz. Southern slopes are mostly covered by meadows and scrubs, hosting Alondra Común, Bisbita Alpino, and sometimes Alondra Cornuda. Golijska Reka (Golija's Stream) is just one of many streams descending northern Golija slopes, usual suspects like Mirlo-acuático Europeo and Lavandera Cascadeña can be found there.

Jankov Kamen and its surroundings are part of the protected area Golija Nature Park and IBA Golija.

Información extra

Golija, while not very high in altitude, is a huge mountain. There are more than 25km of paved road over 1500 meters passing through high mountain forests and along the forest edge, making it an ideal place for birding high mountain habitats while not needing to walk around a lot. The paved road from Ivanjica passes 1500m mark around Golijska Reka, continues up to 1750m below the Jankov Kamen peak, then follows the famous Golija C shape over Odvraćenica and Crni Vrh to Jadovita peak.
