Javor Mountain - the most important information
Welcome to Mount Javor, which is a great treasure of southwestern Serbia! This mountain is located on the road Ivanjica - Sjenica, on the border between the municipalities: Nova Varos, Ivanjica and Sjenica. At the foot of Javor you will be able to notice the river Uvac, which has recently become a popular tourist destination. This mountain is overgrown with beech forest and has a lot of pastures, springs and streams, as well as various forest fruits. All this contributes to its landscapes being magical and providing peace to each of its visitors.
History of the mountain
Numerous battles and wars were fought on Mount Javor during the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century. The Serbian-Turkish border was located at this place until the First Balkan War. In Kušići, Karađorđe and his insurgents built strong fortifications and trenches, which are still recognizable today.

All rivers in this area are characterized by clean and clear mountain water, with a rich fish stock, in which brown trout stand out.
