Beschrijving

Suvobor ("Dry Pine") and Ravna Gora ("Even Mountain") host a mixture of different low-mountain habitats with long patches of pine, beech, and oak forests. Suvobor mountain top is covered by young pine forest, where you can find Kuifmees, Zwarte Mees, Vuurgoudhaan, and Goudhaan.

In Ravna Gora plateau, common species of old beech forest are Zwarte Specht, Roodborst, Winterkoning, Boomklever, Merel, and Zanglijster, while in its mosaic meadows and scrubby hills common are Boomleeuwerik, Veldleeuwerik, Pimpelmees, Putter, Geelgors, and Boompieper.

Soaring over mountain tops and mountain stream valleys are Raaf, Buizerd, Wespendief, and sometimes Slangenarend, Steenarend, and Grauwe Kiekendief. Steep slopes of these valleys are overgrown by oak forests with Groene Specht, Grijskopspecht, and Grauwe Vliegenvanger. When slopes become too steep or rocky, there comes Grijze Gors.

Ortolaan, Grauwe Gors, Grauwe Klauwier, Grasmus, and sometimes Kleine Klapekster and Sperwergrasmus are perching on the bushes at the mosaic mild southern slopes towards the Brajići village. Rode Rotslijster has been recorded (S. Puzović, Ciconia vol. 20) west of the Brajići village plateau, at the Parlozi locality ("Neglected Land"), where steep rocky slopes rise from Bukovača mountain stream.

The best months to visit are May, June, and the first half of July.

Toegang

If coming from Belgrade, take the "Miloš Veliki" ("Miloš the Great") highway and depart at the Ljig intersection, pass through the Ljig town, then turn right to Kadina Luka, then again right to Ba village. Here the steep scenic ascent to Suvobor mountain begins. After passing the Dobra Voda ("Fine Water") plateau, turn left towards the mountain pass where it is possible to comfortably park.

To reach the Ravna Gora plateau, continue forward, and after 1.2 km turn right.

If you want to extend the walking route around Suvobor peak, head to Rajac mountain peak on the east, passing over Dobra Voda slopes. To extend Ravna Gora walking route, the best direction is west to Maljen mountain and its Rior eastern slopes.

Extra info

​Avoid the nearest weekend to May 13th, as there is a local manifestation on Ravna Gora with thousands of people coming to the plateau.

Observation platforms and watching hides drawn on the map are maintained by hunting association and are usually locked. They are added just for easier orientation.

Also nearby, with mostly similar mixture of habitats, but somewhat more rocky and "steppish" are "Divčibare Mountain Resort", "Tometino Polje Maljen Slopes" and "Orlovo Gnezdo (Eagle's Nest) Valley" (Rode Rotslijster).

If you want to overnight or dine delicious domestic food, there is a small mountain resort "Eko Selo Koštunići" located 9km to the south (15 km by road) in the mountain river Čemernica valley.
