a director called Emir Kusturica made Drvegrad and Kamengrad, also called Andric's town, after the most famous Serbian writer, Nobel laureate Ivo Andric. Kamengrad is located near Drvengrad on Tara, the place is called Višegrad. be sure to visit it is beautiful.
Serbia's countryside is incredibly beaultiful. Actually, all the countries in the Balkans are beaultiful! It is a region that should be more widely known and be in the plans of most tourists that chose only western Europe as a destination.
You needed that quiet and relaxing place for detox as you said and to recharge the bateries for the next one. Those types of houses are typical serbian mountain houses, made from wood and with pointy rooftops very useful for heavy snow and cold in winter. I enjoy your videos, keep the good work and have a nice stay!
i'm from serbia and i couldn't agree more about the train. just to know, ''grad'' means ''city'' in (not only) serbian. so, ''beograd'' is ''white city'', ''drvengrad'' is ''wooden city'' etc, etc. enjoy!
Hey, thanks for this comment! We were nervous to have a somewhat-harsh-but-really-just-honest opinion about the train. In some countries, anything negative doesn't go over well :/ Anyway, Mokra Gora is great! We enjoyed our time there - it's just that our best memories from the place don't include the train ride
@@JetLagWarriors don't hesitate my friend, just give your honest opinion. nothing is perfect, neither is serbia. i'm watching you since you were here for the first time, even saw your mum and you in serbian restaurant. but this time is different. now you have almost perfect broader picture and understanding where you have came. i know where, so i am happy that you learn that that good. best regards for the two of you, and enjoy!
@@JetLagWarriorsi really loved the train tho i went there when it was less packed. From the footage it was full of people. Tho i really like trains and the history of them, i get why some people dont enjoy it as much.
@@JetLagWarriors Im from Zlatibor and was never bothered enough to go to Mokra Gora. I heard the train ride is alright when it's basically empty because it feels eerie at dusk but that's all. Now i wonder how the Zlatibor video is going to be. You gonna be so disappointed if you stay only in center and don't visit those villages (at least the view is amazing) past Tornik
@@JetLagWarriorsok, al ne treba traziti dlaku u jajetu, isto kao i u drugim zemljama, nigde ne funkcionise bas SVE kako treba, vi to kao putnici znate jako dobro😊
Šarganska osmica is a museum-tourist complex of narrow-gauge railways, restored sections of the former Užice - Dubrovnik railroad. It is also specific because it makes a figure / shape eight. The railway is categorized as a museum-tourist railway. The museum railway passes through the protected nature park of Mokra Gora and Šargan, which is located on the triple border of the slopes of Zlatibor, Tara and Zlatar, from the top of which "Golo brdo" offers a view towards the canyon of the river Uvac, known for one of the largest sustainable habitats of the griffon vulture. The 25-meter-high Veliki Skakavac waterfall is located on the Kamišna river, which rises on the Zlatibor peak of Viagora, which continues winding towards Mokra Gora, sharing the eighth place among the highest waterfalls in Serbia. Not far from the Mokra Gora station, there is a film village in the ethnic style of the famous director Emir Kusturica, called Drvengrad, with a view of the station and the Šarganska osmica railway. There is also healing spring Bele Vode. Mokra Gora is connected by railway to Višegrad (Republika Srpska, Bosnia and Hercegovina), whose landmarks are the old stone bridge from 1577, as well as Kamengrad - Andrić Grad, built in honor of Nobel laureate Ivo Andrić. In 2021, Mokra Gora was declared the best and most beautiful tourist village in the world by the World Tourism Organization of the United Nations in Madrid.
Even as a local I share your opinion when it comes to "touristy" feel about Mokra Gora, now I can't recall if you already visited Sirogojno which is an actual authentic village that served as inspiration for Drvengrad.
Most east Asians who live in/visit Serbia are from China so people here tend to assume every Asian person they see is from there.🙄 Everyone thought my Korean bf was Chinese, I used to get so annoyed by it while he seemed completely unbothered for some reason. And then we went to visit his family and everyone in SK thought I was American and didn't even hear of Serbia. 🤣🤣🤣
Они који нису чули за Србију вероватно су мислима ма Марсу а фактички на земљи . За разлику од њих Срби су чули и за Палау ,Сао Томе и Принсипе , Суринам ,,Лихтенштајн ,,,,,,
We in general do not care about international, but not in a rude way , its not that hard to honestly enjoy life and people around you , all the best to you guys 😊
Regarding the train, Serbians, like all of the Balkans we are str8 forward people. If you dont like something just say it, there is no need to wrap it in a shiny paper. We would appreciate it more than trying to sweat talk it. It is only normal you will like some things more than others.
Ok let me explain you about the train. I am similar age as you are and to me train ride was long, nothing special, etc, same as to you. But my father, who is 67, loved it. He needed to go one more time. Its more about nostalgia for those older people, because that train reminds them of their youth and some prettier times. My father grew up near railways, he went to school by the train, they were playing around it, he has thousands stories about it, etc. And those narrow-gauge railways existed till late 60ies and 70ies, i think that the last one was replaced in 1978. And most of those railways were just abandoned, it wasn't replaced with standard one. If you drive from Mokra Gora to Visegrad, and continue to Gorazde you can see those abandoned tunnels on other side of the river. My uncle was with us too, and i remember them talking how everything is as same as it was when they were kids. And thousand more stories and memories came threw for them. So pretty much that's the reason why that rail is so popular and to whom. Greetings
This is a great comment. This is why I wanted to be gentle as possible when I said the train wasn’t for me - it doesn’t mean it isn’t for everyone. Thanks for sharing

Mokra Gora and Sharganska osmica are not about spectacular nature. The train ride is slow and underwhelming, you are right. But the point is in the design of the track, unique at its time, and to this day, and the very old cars and track gauge, including the steam engine, though it is not used for every departure. And the movie, of course. If the rides weren't so popular and packed, the tourists would be able to listen to the info via PA in the cars. The same holds true for Mechavnik, nothing spectacular without the cultural grounding. We had a wonderful lunch at one of the railway stations (where the old train stops for about 20') once, though we went there by car, not train. The valley with the church by the stream is very interesting for a few hour walk, not so much if you get there in a car.
i miss you guys . Hope i can be fuly on the next live . The quality of the videos are really great . Did you upgraded the camera or just got better on filming ? 😘
After experiencing the Drina regatta, the train must seem boring. But for many, who have not seen regatta, the train will be a good measure of entertainment.
Do you know why Sarganska osmica (a train ride you took) is unique? Because of its track gauge which is only 760 mm. It's a narrow train track. Not because of scenery of that part of Serbia. 😉 Greetings.

Well, tourists, few words, about few things... The Shargan 8 is not number of the train, but 8 represents the way rails are made so that a very weak and slow train can come up a hugh slope and manage big hight difference between start and top of the mountain pass. That was an engineering mavel more than 100 years ago, since the train is narrow rails model that operated till some 1960's in that part of Serbia (back then Yugoslavia). That type of train you cant ride nowhere in the world any more. That is why is so big tourist attraction. Other thing, the famous Serbian Director is Emir Kusturica (read like is written) and he's not ended in Holywood, but is still woking, based in the same Drvengrad that you visited. Drvengrad (or WoodenCity) is his vision of proper village in the mountains of Serbia. The high oxygen, high altitude, and domestic food make you rejuvenate. The food you ate is all hand picked and hand made from organic origin. ( The ''french toast'' you ate is in fact Прженица or Топљеница and is intended to be eaten WITH kaymak and prosciutto on it :D ) So, please go again in Serbia, visit Drvengrad, Andrićgrad and Višegrad, and make some MORE THAN 9 MINUTES video about some great places, nowhere to be seen in the World.
Ok now I have problem to explain to you how much are you wrong?In time of new tehnology this old train is rarity.People from Germany and Austria ask me all the time is it true that Serbia have still steam train or lokomotiv?I work at OBB Austrian state rail company and each time thay ask I nide to show them photos from Google...You and Ivana just have other interes....
unfortunately we didn’t get to ride on the steam engine train. They will only use it for special occasion. The daily train running is powered by diesel. But yes, we are not train enthusiast.
Drvengrad je mesto koje je sagrafio reditelj Emir Kusturica da bi u njemu ziveo..nema veze sa filmom Zivot je lep osim sto je u toku snimanja filma , koji je sniman u blizini, video ovaj deo i odlucio da tu sagradi svoj dom..
Emir Kusturica is the most famous Serbian director, but *Dragan Bjelogrlić* is approaching him very fast. I think you would like more his movies *Montevideo 1&2* and the tv series *Black Sun* . It's just came out his latest film *Guardians of the Formula* .
@@JetLagWarriors Last time you were in Novi pazar you missed out high grounds there you can see a hole city and a curch . and much more. I love ur videos you 2 are awesome . I hope you have a nice stay in Serbia. Too bad that i was not at that time in Novi Pazar last year. i would be ur translate guide . :)

Movie is actually pretty boring. Emir Kusturica movies are generally boring from my point of view. Well if you are in artistic world or movie enthusiast you maybe find some value but for regular people especially if raised on Hollywood movies it is kind of dull, even for European filmography. Movie set that became Mokra Gora-Drvengrad is actually nice and interesting and perfectly incorporated in Tara mountain authentic style. Shargan Eight train is historic train that used to be part of Belgrade-Dubrovnik Adriatic Railway 100 years ago. But agree...nothing special.

Majstore, čovek je napravio dva antologijska filma, Otac na službenom putu i Sjećaš li se Dolly Bell za koji je dobio zlatnog lava u Veneciji i za drugo zlatnu palmu u Kanu.... Ako su to dosadni filmovi onda si kladična žrtva površnosti, bez opšte kulture.
I suggest his movies to any true film enthusiast tho. Most of them are a work of art. Life is a Miracle is my least favorite Kusturica movie but I adore Underground or Time of the Gypsies.

Other thing, the famous Serbian Director is Emir Kusturica (read like is written) and he's not ended in Holywood, but is still woking, based in the same Drvengrad that you visited.
Drvengrad (or WoodenCity) is his vision of proper village in the mountains of Serbia. The high oxygen, high altitude, and domestic food make you rejuvenate. The food you ate is all hand picked and hand made from organic origin. ( The ''french toast'' you ate is in fact Прженица or Топљеница and is intended to be eaten WITH kaymak and prosciutto on it :D )
So, please go again in Serbia, visit Drvengrad, Andrićgrad and Višegrad, and make some MORE THAN 9 MINUTES video about some great places, nowhere to be seen in the World.
Srbija do Pekinga 🎉
nice video i like "serbia"
Ok now I have problem to explain to you how much are you wrong?In time of new tehnology this old train is rarity.People from Germany and Austria ask me all the time is it true that Serbia have still steam train or lokomotiv?I work at OBB Austrian state rail company and each time thay ask I nide to show them photos from Google...You and Ivana just have other interes....
unfortunately we didn’t get to ride on the steam engine train. They will only use it for special occasion. The daily train running is powered by diesel. But yes, we are not train enthusiast.
Am proud of you i Like You I will remember you
Go to Uvac belive me you will love it
You mustn't skip Uvac
@@tanjai2854 aj ne kenjaj ako ti je već dosadno
Uvac and Guca are the best

@@Boban83 kenjas ti ili ne razumes bas engleski
I recommend 'Hangover ' song with Snopp Dogg and PSY in Korea
That village and the views are absolutely magnificent!! LOVE to Serbia from across the eastern border🥹🥹👏🏻
Drvengrad je mesto koje je sagrafio reditelj Emir Kusturica da bi u njemu ziveo..nema veze sa filmom Zivot je lep osim sto je u toku snimanja filma , koji je sniman u blizini, video ovaj deo i odlucio da tu sagradi svoj dom..
Emir Kusturica is the most famous Serbian director, but *Dragan Bjelogrlić* is approaching him very fast. I think you would like more his movies *Montevideo 1&2* and the tv series *Black Sun* . It's just came out his latest film *Guardians of the Formula* .
DIVNO, JA SAM RODOM BLIZU PA VOLIM TE KRAJEVE IMAM I FAMILIJE TU
fun facts emir kusturica & johnny depp are really good friends
How Ivana get a slavic name? I mean she is indonesian.
Many Indonesians pick names from all over the world for their children. Arabian and European names are most chosen.
are you guys gonna go to Novi Pazar this year again?
No plan yet, but maybe! Are you from Novi Pazar??
@@JetLagWarriors live in sweden but from novi pazar

I hope that these idiots who run our country will find a way to somehow reward these two wonderful people.
A wise man once said that it is a pity that the people who know best how to run this country work either as hairdressers or taxi drivers. 😉
Speaking of idiots, i gues this a clear case of "takes one to know one".
They are no idiots . If you don't like them that is your bad luck, but don't call them idiots.

Emir kusturica place
D-RVAN-GRAD pronunciation
Hey... Could you please share the name of your hotel in Mokra Gora?
Can you tell me what's the name of that apartment where you have stayed? Or some contact? (Because i am not sure if it's under the Drvengrad)
Neva apartments
Movie is actually pretty boring. Emir Kusturica movies are generally boring from my point of view. Well if you are in artistic world or movie enthusiast you maybe find some value but for regular people especially if raised on Hollywood movies it is kind of dull, even for European filmography. Movie set that became Mokra Gora-Drvengrad is actually nice and interesting and perfectly incorporated in Tara mountain authentic style.
Shargan Eight train is historic train that used to be part of Belgrade-Dubrovnik Adriatic Railway 100 years ago. But agree...nothing special.
Kada bi znao kakve gluposti pričaš, zaćutao bi istog trena.
@@DejanJovanovic123 Ne seruckaj Dejane. Ako imaš drugačije viđenje njegove "umetnosti" slobodan si da ga ostaviš ovde, ali i ne pokušavaj mene da ućutkuješ. Em me zabole za tvoje ili bilo čije mišljenje po tom pitanju,em moje neće promeniti, em je jako nepristojno kad nekoga ne poznaješ.
@@Dj0rdje1 A pristojno je da kenjaš po nekome ko je toliko postigao u životu i koji je toliko lepih i neverovatni stvari doneo ovom narodu. Čovek koji nema ništa pametno i smisleno da kaže, stvarno bi trebao da ćuti i da ne sramoti sebe.
@@DejanJovanovic123 Kenjam? A šta je on meni to doneo sem povremenog gubljenja par sati u pokušaju da odgledam neki njegov film? Ja sam podvukao da je čovek priznat u svom svetu, ali za mene kao konzumenta je dosadan. Time sam ga ispoštovao sasvim dovoljno i nije to nikakvo "kenjanje" nego postojanje sopstvenog mišljenja. Nisam nastupio sa pozicije filmskog kritičara nego realno sagledavao iz svog ugla i ugla prosečnog gledaoca. Ili valjda misliš da zato što je "naš" da ne ulazim sad da li stvarno jeste, ja treba da padam u trans kad ovaj napravi neki film. Taj koncept svojatanja mi je stran, smešan i infantilan u svojoj suštini tako da ne, nije njegov uspeh moj a nije ni tvoj a ni ostalih koje svrstavaš u "narod". Njegov je i svaka mu čast na tome ali ne obavezuje mene da mi se sviđa, da mu se klanjam zbog toga a najmanje daje tebi ili "narodu" pravo da me ućutkuje. Pozdrav tebi i ostatku "naroda" da ne širim sada besmislenu diskusiju.
What does Makra Gora mean locally? In Punjabi (Indian & Pakistani) it means the 'deceptive Whiteman'.... go figure. :)
It's mean Wet mountain
It is Mokra Gora
Thanks. I was pointing to the irony.@@aleksandrajurisictrifunovi8444

Nemate pojma o Drvengradu
Serbia 🤢
Naučite nesto o "Šarganskoj osmici",to je istorijska pruga...nastala ručno kopanjem tunela i extremnim tehnoloskim inovatizmom za to vreme....premostiti 450m nadmorske visine u 8 velikih zaokreta kroz brda....jedini put za Bosnu u to vreme...
Very nice place, big fan of Kusturica's work. The movie White Cat Black Cat is the best comedy I've ever seen.

I love that movie, it’s hilarious
Nice video bro, but DUUUUDE, that old train ride & the wooden village is a bout relaaaaaaaxiiiiiiiiiing cuz!
I would love to see you guys review the movie. I have to tell you though, it's super emotional and can hit you hard.

Majstore, čovek je napravio dva antologijska filma, Otac na službenom putu i Sjećaš li se Dolly Bell za koji je dobio zlatnog lava u Veneciji i za drugo zlatnu palmu u Kanu.... Ako su to dosadni filmovi onda si kladična žrtva površnosti, bez opšte kulture.
I suggest his movies to any true film enthusiast tho. Most of them are a work of art. Life is a Miracle is my least favorite Kusturica movie but I adore Underground or Time of the Gypsies.
Ne razumes ti filmove druze
@@nebojsaenic985 Nema potrebe da vredjate coveka. Tehnicki je sve sto je rekao tacno. Prosecan covek koji filmove gleda cisto zbog zabave i ubijanja vremena nece mozda ceniti njegove filmove onoliko koliko zasluzuju. Po meni je njegov komenta skroz na mestu.
@@bratori222 Problem je što je izgleda prosečan čovek kada su ti filmovi pravljeni bio ako ništa drugo načitaniji, bar po tebi. To je kao kad bi rekao da su priznate umetničke slike dosadne, za "prosečnog" čoveka, a selfiji i filteri zanimljiviji jer su zabavni. I "prosečnog" čoveka očigledno projektujete po sebi. Tebi se takvom kakav jesi nešto ne sviđa i to je za tebe "prosečan" čovek. Neko ko gleda rijalitije, za njega je to "prosečan čovek"? Neko ko gleda one Turske i Latino serije, to je za njega prosek? Jel tako? Jeste li vas dvojica taj "prosek" . Zadnje je vreme došlo kad ljudi bez blama svoju površnost javno izlažu, prikazujući to kao prosek.
