A narrow-gauge heritage railway from the village of Mokra Gora to Šargan Vitasi station in the mountains of western Serbia, famous for a track that loops in the shape of the number eight to overcome a 300-metre drop in a short distance, so that in places the train passes the same spot twice on two levels. Building began during the First World War, the figure-of-eight was designed and completed in the 1920s, and after the line closed it was restored and reopened for visitors on 1 September 2003, 15.44 kilometres long. The ride runs with old steam locomotives and wooden carriages through tunnels, over bridges, past forests and mountain slopes, with stops at viewpoints; the eight shape is clearest from Krst station. In 2021 Mokra Gora was named one of the world's best tourism villages. Tickets are RSD 1,500 for adults and RSD 750 for children, and the trip takes about three hours, with two departures a day in the April to October season, per visitor guides. Book early in summer, and combine it with nearby Drvengrad.
