Hidden between the mountains of Povlen and Tara, above the valley of the river Dubrašnica, lies one of the most beautiful areas of western Serbia - Gvozdačke stene. Wild landscapes, with numerous viewpoints, clean air and a view that extends all the way to Bosnia and the Zvijezda massif, take the breath away of anyone who climbs here. On our tour, we climb to the top of Sokoline (1,225 m), enjoying diverse landscapes and peaceful silence, which is increasingly rare nowadays.

This karst area belongs to the Dinaric mountain range, that is, the Povlensko-Malje mountain massif. The river Dubrašnica springs at the foot of the mountain. The Gvozdac rocks are named after the village of Gvozdac on the Drina highway. The word "gvozdac" is a derivative of the Old Slavic word gvozd, which means a dense thicket or thicket of leafy wood, mostly oak.

The view from the mountain extends to Bosnia and the Veliki Stolac peak in the Zvijezda massif, as well as the Tara massif with the highest peak, Zborište.
