Mount Rtanj
Eastern Serbia's pyramid mountain: 1,565 metres, a near-perfect cone, legends included.
55 km from Zaječar
Boljevac and Rtanj
A municipality in Zaječar District at the foot of the pyramid mountain Rtanj.
Boljevac is one of the three municipalities that, alongside the city of Zaječar, make up the district – the others being Knjaževac and Sokobanja. It lies north of Rtanj and is the usual approach to the mountain.
Rtanj needs a full day. Combining it with Sokobanja to the south makes a sensible weekend away from town.
