Kopaonik and the Brzeće-Mali Karaman Gondola: The Summer Adventure That’s Shaking Things Up!
Picture this: scorching summer heat, and you’re escaping to one of Serbia’s most beautiful mountains – Kopaonik. But wait, it gets better! You’re riding the Brzeće-Mali Karaman gondola, which kicks off operations on July 12th! Yes, you read that right. This spectacular ride lasts between 12 and 15 minutes and offers breathtaking panoramic views.
The Gondola: This Summer’s Hottest Ticket
The gondola operates on Saturdays and Sundays from 10 AM to 4 PM, giving you the perfect weekend escape from the city chaos to enjoy nature. Serbia’s ski resorts officially announced this as the most popular attraction on the mountain this summer, and the number of tourists is climbing fast.
Kopaonik’s Summer Season – Not Just for Winter Sports!
Kopaonik is famous for winter sports, but the summer season is slowly but surely catching up. Here, adrenaline junkies can enjoy ziplining, adventure parks, and even summer skiing on the longest slope in this part of Europe. So if you thought Kopaonik was just a winter wonderland, think again!
Border Jams and Extended Crossing Hours
But it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. With more tourists flooding in, massive traffic jams have formed at the Preševo border crossing between Serbia and North Macedonia. Lines of vehicles are piling up, forcing authorities to extend border crossing hours to ease the congestion. So if you’re planning a trip, brace yourself for delays or hit the road early!
Why Does This Matter?
This gondola isn’t just a mode of transport; it’s a symbol of Serbia’s growing summer tourism. More and more people are choosing domestic destinations, and Kopaonik is emerging as the top pick to beat the heat and city crowds. Plus, with all the activities on offer—from adrenaline sports to stunning landscapes—it’s hard not to be impressed.
