A traditional timber village on Mećavnik hill near Mokra Gora in western Serbia, its name meaning Timber Town. The film director Emir Kusturica built it in 2003–2004 for his film Life Is a Miracle, and he received a European architecture award for it in 2005. The village is made up of wooden houses with steep shingled roofs and streets paved with tree trunks, named after famous figures from art, sport and literature; the main street is named after the writer Ivo Andrić. There is a cinema, a library, a gallery, a restaurant and shops selling local produce, and since 2008 it has hosted the Küstendorf Film and Music Festival every winter, known for having no red carpet. Entry is a token fee of about RSD 300, per visitor guides, and its square has a lovely view over the surrounding valleys and mountains. It is close to the Šargan Eight station, so the two fit easily into one day.
