A narrow-gauge railway built in 1925 climbs the Sargan hillside in a figure-eight loop to gain height without excessive gradient, an engineering trick that once carried mainline trains across the mountains and now runs as a heritage tourist line, its steam and diesel locomotives hauling wooden carriages past viewpoints over the surrounding gorges.
Nearby, film director Emir Kusturica built Drvengrad, a wooden village constructed as the set for his 2004 film Life is a Miracle and kept afterward as a permanent cultural venue, hosting the Kustendorf film festival each winter. Zlatibor's own high mountain plateau, meanwhile, draws a steady mix of summer hikers and winter skiers to its rolling, sub-alpine terrain.
