Hello everyone, it's time for an inspiring #MarketFriday challenge by @dswigle and this time with lots of snow!
I spent the last few days on Tara mountain. When we arrived it was a very warm day, but on the last day of our stay it snowed, to the great joy of my children.
We were accommodated in the Omorika hotel located in the natural forest environment of Tara mountain.
It is an old hotel that was built in the 70s of the 20th century and has been a favorite vacation spot in Serbia of many generations for 50 years. I often went there with my parents when I was a child, and now I am very happy to take my children there. The hotel is old but has a soul and the prices are affordable, unlike other hotels in Serbia that are much more expensive.
The stay per person and per day costs about 35 euros. And food is included in that price. Delicious and varied food.
In front of the hotel you can rent skis and ski on the trails of this beautiful mountain.
The snow brought a lot of joy.
My son enjoyed the sledding and my daughter was confused by so much whiteness.
But she loved it when she lay down in the snow for the first time. 😊
And it really is a beautiful feeling when you are surrounded by whiteness or when you step into untouched snow for the first time and leave your footprints.
We walked through the forest and enjoyed snow activities.
This is the first snow of this winter and we have been waiting for it for a long time because we are used to having it much earlier. When you leave the forest at the end of the forest path, you will reach the road and the forest market.
I love this market because you can buy a lot of quality domestic products here.
There are mostly juices and jams made from forest fruits, honey and traditional juniper drink "rakija" - brandy.
You can also buy here a natural remedy for lung diseases, syrup from young pine shoots. I bought a jar of this syrup because my son coughs a lot and it cost only 3 euros.
At Tara market you can buy beautiful traditional dishes for preparing food as well as souvenirs.
There are also my favorite meat products and prosciutto, which is especially delicious on the mountain.
Here you can buy the best cheese and many other traditional products.
Tara is full of medicinal herbs that smell so good all year round, so the market also sells various teas made from a combination of these herbs.
I love handwork and always buy something knitted from wool.
This time I bought a hair band for 2,5 euros.
I liked it very much and it kept me warm while it snowed more and more.
After a long walk, we entered the hotel to freshen up. I ordered a fruit salad.
In this hotel, the desserts are very affordable and the offer is large.
And it's time to go home, to Belgrade. We said goodbye to the snow and fresh air and took a bit of nature with us, pine syrup and pine cones that my son had been collecting. 😊
Thank you very much for reading.
The images and writing are original and mine.
Greetings!

Love the scenery with the snow. I truly want to see real snow.. I hope I could someday 😊
Come to my country! 😊 I like snow only for a few days and then I get bored and can't wait for summer 😊

Divne fotografije, sneg će uskoro postati legenda, u Banatu ga još nema šteta a deca se tako raduju snegu, pa i mi odrasli.Nadam se da ste se lepo proveli na Tari i uživali u pravoj zimskoj čaroliji.
Hvala. 🤗 Sjajno smo se proveli ali nažalost sneg je pao poslednjeg dana našeg boravka, a kada smo stigli bilo je pravo proleće... Ali dobro, deca su se bar malo radovala.😊
Yay! 🤗

What a beautiful hotel and gorgeous scenery. I love that they sell the pots out there in the snow huts. It looks like you had loads of fun with your sons.
Thank you, we had a great time indeed in beautiful nature... I have son and a daughter, but the daughter is wearing her brother's clothes so she looks like a boy, that's why you thought I had sons. 😀
Lol I'm so sorry, I really didn't know but now I do and will remember that in future that it's probably your daughter :) I'm glad you all enjoyed it. I miss seeing snow.
winter wonderland :) here in Vienna ist quite warm though, like spring, no snow atm.
When we arrived at Tara, it was a real spring, and then in 3 days a change happened and it snowed a lot. But there is still no snow in Belgrade... I would like to visit Vienna, beautiful city. 😊
The pictures of the snow and the market are stunning. It looks like a perfect winter getaway for families.
Thank you 🤗 Tara is the most beautiful vacation spot in my country and worth a visit...
I love the place, so beautiful. I've never been to a place like this with so much snow, maybe someday. The hotel looks great and so does the food. And the snowy market looks like fun.
And you look pretty 😍 in that hair band you bought.
Happy weekend, amiga! 🤗
Thank you so much for the compliment and kind words. 🤗 We plan to build a log cabin on this mountain, and when that happens one day, I invite you to come with your family and enjoy the magic of snow. 😊
Oh thank you Jelena, you are so kind 🥰 Let's hope for that day to come. Enjoy your weekend further 🤗😘
Looks so wintery! I like the snow!
Hope you enjoyed the vacation 😊.
We also wondered if we're ready for a "cold" vacation, but we're new to the colder climate, so maybe next year. We haven't encountered snow yet in the Netherlands though. Might happen later in January, but not sure if it'll happen in the city we're living.
I also like to keep my ears, hands and feet warm, so crafted clothing pieces from wool are always welcome, especially if it's affordable.
I love Tara, it's beautiful there! Great that you had some snow, considering the situation now, weather changed so much.
