Željin

Željin is a prominent mountain in central Serbia, situated between the valleys of the Ibar, Raška, and Studenica rivers. Reaching a peak elevation of 1,785 meters, it serves as a significant link between the Kopaonik and Goč mountain ranges. The mountain is renowned for its exceptional abundance of natural water springs and streams, providing a vital source of fresh water for the surrounding valleys. Geologically, Željin is composed of crystalline schists and granite, resulting in a rugged yet heavily forested landscape. Its slopes are covered with dense beech and coniferous forests, which transition into alpine meadows at higher altitudes. Historically, the mountain was a center for medieval mining, with traces of old shafts and mining activity still present in the area. Today, Željin is a favored destination for hikers seeking untouched nature and expansive panoramic views of the entire Kopaonik massif.
