The Sargan Eight train is a unique tourist attraction, famous for its picturesque route that traverses the Sargan Mountains, between the Mokra Gora and Sargan Vitasi stations. The name comes from the shape of the route, which describes the number eight, allowing the train to ascend the steep slopes of the mountains through a series of curves and tunnels. The landscapes that the Sargan Eight crosses are absolutely breathtaking.
During the 15-kilometer journey, the train winds through tunnels carved into the rock, crosses bridges, and offers stunning panoramas of the deep valleys and dense forests covering the mountains. Each curve reveals a new, spectacular view, and at the scenic stops, passengers can peacefully admire the wild beauty of the region. The stop in Mokra Gora, a picturesque village located at the foot of the mountains, is another highlight of the Sargan Eight train journey.








Route and Duration of the Journey
The route followed by the Čira train is as follows: Mokra Gora – Sargan Vitasi – Mokra Gora. The duration of a complete journey is two and a half hours. The train stops at various scenic points along the way, but the stop in Mokra Gora is the highlight of this unique journey.
In the heart of Mokra Gora, you’ll find Drvengrad, also known as the “Wooden Village,” a remarkable creation of Emir Kusturica. This wooden village was built by the director for his film Life is a Miracle and represents much more than a simple settlement; it is a living testament to Serbian traditions. Here, wood and culture blend in perfect harmony. The atmosphere in Drvengrad is magical, with narrow streets and wooden buildings that seem to come alive, each with its own story to tell.
