Rudnik and its mountain of the same name dominate central Serbia and is situated some 100 km south of Belgrade. It is well known for its nice climate, clean air and nature. Its highest peak, Cvijic, is 1132 meters above sea level, and the Mali Šturac, Srednji, Molitve, Paljevine and Marijanac peaks are all more than 1000 meters high. If you wish, you can climb these peaks or the steep volcanic elevation of Ostrvica upon which you will find the walls of Jerina's town, mentioned in Vojislav Ilic's poem. Another must is a visit to the Climbers' Chalet and the Forest House. An environmentalist commune called the Clear Streams Family lives in the vicinity of the town. Some of the advantages of Mt Rudnik are its proximity to historic sites such as Oplenac, (Burial place of Serbian Royal Family) Takovo, Vracevšnica Convent, Voljavca, Nikolje and the monasteries of the Ovcar and Kablar gorge.
In the ancient era, Rudnik was a mining centre, fist inhabited by the Illyrians and Celts before the Romans came. Archaeological finds suggest that a large Roman settlement was situated there. Later in the Middle Ages, rulers of Serbia and wealthy feudal lords fought over the well-known mining area. By the 15th century, the Ragusans and Saxons had their colonies here. Rudnik gained special importance after 1441, when the Ottomans seized the area of Novo Brdo. The despot Djuradj Brankovic had his mint and summer house on Mt Rudnik. Another source of income for Rudnik's inhabitants was with the development of crafts and trade. Rudnik eventually spread its cultural influence throughout Serbia, today it well known (in Serbia) as a growing tourist destination.
