Spring ascent to the gigantic Rtanj from the south side. Our unique mountain with a three-sided pyramid on top, almost regular in shape. We go to the highest peak Šiljak at 1565 m, from where there is a phenomenal view of the surrounding mountains. During the spring, you can also find the flowers of Ramonda Serbica, an endemic plant that was discovered by Josif Pančić on the slopes of Rtanj. It blooms from April to June.
