Brdo is the center of the Zlatar tourist zone. This provides a clear framework for planning your trip: the focus is on a protected landscape, a cultural site on Babića Brdo, and skiing and park activities. Each offering is associated with a different location. This makes it easier to narrow down your destination before adding individual places to visit or activities to your stay.
Landscape and Regional Character
The Zlatar Special Nature Reserve covers 3,013.70 hectares within the municipality of Nova Varoš and includes the cadastral area of Brdo. The stated area refers to the protected area within the municipality, not to Brdo as a place. This makes it possible to connect Brdo with a larger protected landscape without attributing the total area to the place itself. The traditional way of life in settlements of the Stari-Vlah type is also characteristic of the protected area. The natural environment and settlement tradition are two aspects of the same regional character.
Babića Brdo lies on the slopes of Zlatar in an area with the character of a health resort. Its location on the slopes and the description of the area shape this section about the place. Check local conditions before your trip if you plan to include Babića Brdo in your itinerary.
Culture on Babića Brdo
The Church of the Nativity of Our Lord Jesus Christ is located on Babića Brdo in Nova Varoš. This gives you a specific place to visit for a cultural highlight. If you would like to visit the church, check visiting arrangements in advance. This allows you to consider the church as a separate focus alongside the natural features of the Zlatar protected area. The landscape and religious site represent different interests; you can include both in your plans or focus on one of them.
Skiing and Park Activities
The ski area on Zlatar has around 3 km of groomed downhill runs for alpine skiing. The “Zlatar 1” run is served by a modern four-seat chairlift. This makes it a specific winter sports destination, although practical planning depends on the season: operating hours and snow conditions matter. Check current dates and conditions before your trip and before making firm plans to ski.
Babića Brdo has an adventure park with challenges for endurance and agility, as well as friendly competitions. The adrenaline park is 340 m long: 190 m consists of a zipline system and 150 m of obstacles. Platforms in the trees are connected by obstacles. The park descriptions thus emphasize different things than the groomed ski runs: one focuses on endurance, agility and competitions, while the other features a zipline and obstacles. Check the current availability of the park activities before planning a visit.
Choose Accommodation to Match Your Plans
Brdo is the center of the Zlatar tourist zone; the church and adventure park are on Babića Brdo, while the ski area is on Zlatar. These locations give you different reference points for planning without specifying a particular route or connection. When comparing hotels, check the stated location and match it to your planned focus. For skiing, consider the season and snow conditions; for park visits, check current availability.
