Mt. Kopaonik : factory of red and white blood cells
Due to its rarefied air with reduced partial pressure, the mountainous climate has more medicinal effects on the human organism than the climate at the seaside. It catalyzes deep breathing and increases the number of red blood cells, depending on the sea level, and these conditions are most ideal on Mt. Kopaonik , which is rightfully called the factory of red blood cells.
A visit to this mountain is recommended to those who suffer from asthma and to smokers because it completely eliminates asthmatic fits and smoking bronchitis. Children who often visit Mt. Kopaonik are better adept at physical activities – and that is the same reason professional athletes are frequent guests at the most famous tourist resort in Serbia . |

HALF-DAY
OUTINGS
A
holy place "Metođe" |
Geyser
– a holy place, Metodje – picnic
As this is one of the more demanding distance
tours, inexperienced and unfit mountaineers
are recommended to use the easier version
that includes partial transportation means
to reach the sharp curve on the 14th kilometer
of the Mt. Kopaonik-Brzece road, where the
road to Metodje separates. From there, walking
is resumed by taking a marked hiking trail
that reaches the geyser after 45-minute.
Metodje is a folk holy place, on the spot
where allegedly salubrious water gushes
from a rock bluff.
