Hiking Rtanj: trails, difficulty and what to bring

Trails lead to Šiljak peak (1,565 m) from the south and north sides and from Sokobanja. Here is what you need to plan the hike.

What to bring

  • Water for the whole hike
  • Sturdy shoes and a jacket for the top
  • A head torch for the sunrise

On the summit

There are chapel ruins on Šiljak. Rtanj is a special nature reserve, so do not pick plants and take your rubbish with you.

With a village guide

If you do not know the trail, go with a guide: we leave from the camp in small groups and see the sunrise from the top.
