Discover Brdo: Nature, Mountains and Adventure

Brdo is the centre of the Zlatar tourist zone and combines protected landscapes, a mountainous character and a wide range of activities. For planning your trip, this means you can tailor your stay entirely to your interests – with nature observation, cultural impressions, alpine skiing or sporting challenges. Anyone looking for a holiday apartment or holiday home in Brdo should therefore first consider which experiences they want to shape their holiday.

Protected landscapes and traditional ways of life

An important part of the character of the area lies in the Zlatar Special Nature Reserve. Within the municipality of Nova Varoš, it covers 3,013.70 ha and includes the cadastral area of Brdo. This means that a clearly designated protected landscape is part of the orientation for visitors who want to focus their stay on nature and regional character.

The protected area is also characterised by a traditional way of life in settlements of the Stari-Vlah type. This combination of landscape and settlement culture makes the stay interesting for travellers who are not only looking for individual activities, but also want to get to know the character of the region. For families, this can create a varied daily rhythm: nature experiences can be combined in thought with cultural impressions and more active pursuits, without every trip having to focus on the same theme.

Church, mountain landscape and spa-resort character

The Church of the Nativity of Our Lord Jesus Christ is located on Babića Brdo in Nova Varoš. It adds a cultural point of reference to the landscape perspective. Those interested in religious buildings and regional identity can include this place in their personal travel plans.

Babića Brdo lies on the slopes of Zlatar in an area with the character of a health resort. This connection with the landscape represents a distinct aspect of the destination: alongside the protected nature around Brdo, the mountain setting is more pronounced here. When looking for accommodation, you can therefore consider whether you want to plan your holiday primarily around nature, the mountain landscape or an active pursuit.

Skiing and adventure activities

Zlatar also offers specific opportunities for sport-oriented days of travel. The ski area has around 3 km of prepared slopes for alpine skiing. The “Zlatar 1” ski slope is served by a modern four-person chairlift. If you want to combine your stay with alpine skiing, this information provides a useful basis for choosing the focus of your holiday. You should take the approximate length of the slopes into account when planning your day.

Babića Brdo also has an adventure park with challenges for endurance and agility, as well as friendly competitions. The adrenaline park there is 340 m long. Of this, 190 m consists of a zipline system and 150 m of obstacles. It consists of platforms in trees connected by obstacles. This means that, alongside nature and culture, activities are also a focus, allowing you to take different interests into account together with your family.

The right base for your stay

When looking for a holiday apartment in Brdo or a holiday home in the destination, it is worth deciding on your preferred travel style before booking. Nature enthusiasts can focus on the Zlatar Special Nature Reserve and the traditional character of the settlements. Those interested in culture can include the church on Babića Brdo in their considerations. Anyone looking for physical activity can orient themselves towards the ski slopes or the offerings of the adventure and adrenaline park.
