Hello everyone and hello to all members of the Amazing Nature community. This is my entry for the Amazing Nature Contest: FREE TOPIC - #1/5/22.
When I think of amazing nature, my first thought is of Tara mountain. For me, Tara is the most beautiful mountain in Serbia because it successfully resists human influences and is protected as a national park. On this mountain, you can enjoy the beautiful and refreshing scents of nature. The scent of the pine forest dominates and that is why it is good to breathe deeply here.
Unique natural factors have conditioned the existence of different flora and fauna. Some species live only on this mountain and nowhere else. In the summer season, you can pick very healthy forest blueberries.
Blackberries, wild strawberries, and raspberries also grow on Tara. One of the most beautiful moments I have experienced in my life is picking forest fruits on this mountain and enjoying their unique taste and at the same time the smell of the coniferous forest. That is why this place for me is an amazing nature where I like to be whenever I can. I consider it a privilege that it only takes me a few hours to get to this beautiful mountain.
When you walk through the forests of Tara, there are warnings at every step that you can meet a bear, but it has not happened to me yet and I go several times a year. 🙂 About 50 protected brown bears live on Tara. Although they are considered dangerous animals, they are more afraid of us than we are of them.
The Tara River of the same name flows here. Tara Canyon is under the protection of UNESCO, like a natural treasure important to the entire planet. There are over eighty caves in the canyon. Some are still relatively unexplored, and traces of prehistoric people have been found in some.
I would like to mention another amazing place on Tara and that is Lake Zaovine.
This lake is so clean and with very little water treatment, it is used for drinking. It is home to plant and animal species that are protected as rarities. Next to this lake, I sometimes feel like I am at sea because of the various blue and green shades of water. During the summer, the lake is very visited. It has several beaches and the water is very clean and shallow for swimming near the shore, suitable for children.
Tara is the real treasure of Serbia and I hope that it will always be protected and preserve its amazing nature and uniqueness.
Thank you very much for reading.
The images and writing are original and mine.
Greetings!

Enjoyable outing into the woods, lakes taking in natures smells and textures, sometimes even fruits or berries we know.
Thanks for interesting visit.

Thank you very much, I'm glad you like the place. For me, this place is very special, because of the beautiful nature, but also because of the emotional connection and memories.
Now making new memories, most enjoyable place to enjoy.
Thank you for entering the competition.
You have introduced us to a very impressive natural place in your country :-)
It was my pleasure to participate. There is a saying in my country about Tara that it is a place where beauty begins. 😊
I believe that :-)
Summer + Tara - a perfect combination 🌟
Absolutely! 😊 We also often go there in the winter and it is nice for children, but it is best in the summer when the forest smells and everything is green around.
Exactly, that is why we love mountains during the summer :))
The forest smells and the air is much better then in the city 😀

Hola Jelena!
The place looks beautiful. It is a privilege to have such a place a few hours away from where you live. It's not only the mountains and the forest but also the lake looks amazing too. And, luckily, you never met a bear;) 🤗
Hola amiga! 🤗 Yes, it is really a privilege to be close to a place like this. I have fond childhood memories of Tara because I went there every summer with my parents. My dad bought a piece of land there just before his death and planned to build a log cabin. Unfortunately, he did not realize his dream and for me, every trip there is painful since he is not there. But who knows, maybe my son will make that dream come true one day. This year, a bear broke the branches of a cherry tree on our lot, but we did not see it. 😊
Your story of your father and the land reminds me of my father who wanted to live in the Andes mountains, he also bought land with my uncles and they even had a cabin that we used for holidays, but he never moved there. The cabin is still with us but since my father is no longer with us we have gone very little. Too many memories and too much nostalgia plus the complications of traveling by road due to the crisis in the country.
It would have been quite an adventure to meet the bear on the ground, hehe Abrazos amiga!
Life does not seem to be very fair and many people do not realize their dreams and go away when they are happiest and have the best plans for the future.
Yes, meeting a bear would be an awesome experience. 😀 Abrazos! ❤️
That mountain is pretty.. Cute butterfly 😁
