Take off and breathe. I read this at the place where the Gold gondola lift is located. Gold gondola lift is the longest panoramic lift in the world. It is located on the Zlatibor mountain in Serbia, where we spent the last few days. As part of the hotel's offer, we had free tickets for the gondola, which we were happy to use.
The weather was cloudy, so the visibility was poor, but that didn't stop us from enjoying a great experience.
The aerial route is 9 km long and the ride takes about 20 minutes. During that time, you have a great chance to see the nature and beauty of the Zlatibor mountain.
When we entered the cabin, we were very excited. And when the ride started, we had the feeling as if we were flying over the highest peaks of pine trees among the clouds.
In one part of the route, you go above Ribnicko Lake, where there is an intermediate station if you want to spend time there.
When we were coming back, the sun was shining a little, so the view of the lake was even more beautiful.
My son enjoyed it but was not in the mood for photos. He asked me not to disturb him during his sightseeing. 😊 It was a new and unique experience for him, as well as for me.
The final station is on the highest peak of the Zlatibor mountain, which is called Tornik. It is located at 1496 m above sea level.
When you reach the top you feel very good. The air is very fresh and makes you breathe deeply.
And then you are disappointed when you realize that the privilege of breathing fresh air lasts very little and that you have to go back to your polluted city the very next day. That's how I felt. 😊 But I didn't want to spend a second of time thinking about where I'll be tomorrow but just enjoying it.
There is a bench where you can sit and look into the distance, and rest your eyes.
There is also a Fantasy park for children on Tornik, which my son was especially happy about.
There are several cafes in the mountain style where you can refresh yourself, and if you are cold, there are blankets with which you can warm yourself.
This place makes you feel like you're on top of the world. It seems to you that you could spend eternity there.
But my son was looking forward to the return and another ride. We had a drink, enjoyed the sun a bit, and in the afternoon returned to the center of the Zlatibor mountain.
I am looking forward to new travel experiences, especially with my son, with whom every experience turns into an adventure. 😊
Thank you very much for reading.
