The past within the present on Tara mountain in Serbia

Snowy greetings to everyone! 😊 I recently returned from Tara mountain, where I like to spend the winter. In fact, every season is beautiful there, and you won't go wrong whenever you go.

This time there was not as much snow as when I was there in previous years, but still enough to feel the winter magic!

Tara is one of the most preserved mountains when it comes to nature, where you can truly feel as if time has stood still. Hotel Omorika, built in the 1970s, remains a popular and frequently visited spot.

We stayed at this hotel again this winter, just as we have in previous years. I love the view from the room window and I could spend hours watching the surroundings from above.

Behind the hotel are playgrounds for children, where we often spent time because it is my children's favorite spot.

My kids were very happy spending time sledding and playing in the long awaited snow.

This place looks the same as it did when I was a child, despite the years that have passed.

But, there is something that has not stood the test of time. When I was a child, there was a preserved village of wooden houses from the 18th century on this mountain.

I loved going into those houses and looking at their interior. Now I happened to come across one of those houses, but unfortunately it was in a very bad condition.

And the house next door was demolished.

I peeked inside. A stone hearth still stands there.

It is no longer safe to be inside. It's a pity that no one took care of these houses and saved them from falling into ruin.

From the outside, it preserved almost its authentic appearance.

It was very cold and dense fog. The road that led to other houses was not visible because of the fog. It seemed like an endless road. Snow white endless road.

Thank you for reading.

The environment i see here is quite good. The building is unique on its own and i love that fact it is dwelling in a place surrounded with snow.
