Both skiers in winter and passionate hikers in summer can enjoy a ski lift - with seats for two. In fact, the ski lift route consists of two parts, after the first ride those who wish to continue riding just hop on another ski lift 1900m and go directly to the spring called Sava’s water 2212m where they get off.
Those who didn’t get tired by now will have no problems conquering the peak Kulin 2313m . However, the real adventurers will start hiking towards Savin kuk . The most common approach to Savin kuk is from the East side, from direction Motički gaj, from the road , and then along the side of katun (shepard's cottage) Poljana (which is also the starting point for the ski lift ) over Dernek and Korito to Sava’s water towards Kulina. However, it is also possible to start at the Black Lake 1416 m, pass the nearby spring Tocak 1540m and continiue through the field Mioc 1569m until you reach the starting point of the ski lift which follows the already mentioned route. It is interesting to know that the local people consider Sava’s water very healing and it was a tradition for a long time to visit this spring on Ilindan which happens August 2nd, throw a coin into the water and make a wish. Today, the tradition has faded but still finding some left coins is not uncommon. |
