Mountain Stolovi - the most important information
The tables are located between the Ibar, Ribnica and Brezanska rivers, southwest of Kraljevo. From this mountain, the tributaries of the mentioned rivers diverge in all directions, which give it an unusual star shape. The tables descend in a star-shaped manner from the peaks towards the neighboring smaller mountains: Ozren, Vitosh, Ostra glava and Strmenica. The highest peak of this mountain is Kamarište, whose altitude is 1375 meters. At the foot of the northern slopes of Stolovo is the monastery of Žiča, which was built in the 13th century. The name of this mountain is connected with the mentioned monastery, where the first Serbian archbishop Saint Sava "dined". The western slopes of the mountain Stolovi form the eastern part of the Ibar gorge, and the popular fortress Maglič is located on them.

- Maglic Fortress - one of the best preserved medieval fortifications in Serbia. Its construction ran in parallel with the renovation of the Žiča monastery in the last years of the 13th century. However, some scholars connect the construction of this fortress with Irina Kantakuzin, the wife of the despot Đurđe Branković, which is why Maglič is still popularly called Jerina's town.
- Manifestation "Narcissus on a campaign" - is held every year in May. A large number of mountaineers and nature lovers from all over Serbia and the surrounding countries gather at this event. It is one of the oldest manifestations in Serbia, created in 1956.
