NA KROVU SRBIJE ON THE ROOF OF SERBIA

On Mount Kopaonik’s highest peak, high under the snow, at an altitude of 2,017 metres above sea level, is the grave of world-famous professor, academic and botanist Josif Pančić. It was his wish to be laid to rest on the “roof of Serbia”, where he discovered a rare species of spruce that now bears his name, just like the peak of one of Serbia’s most beautiful moun- tains. Kopaonik is not only home to the largest ski resort in our country, but is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful centres in this part of Eu- rope. With around 200 days of sunshine and 160 days under snow cover annually, fantastic walk- ing and skiing trails, with mulled wine and hot rakija, Kopaonik is the right choice for your win- ter holidays. Welcome!

Na najvišem vrhu Kopaonika, visoko pod snegom, na 2.017 metara nadmorske visine, sa- hranjen je Josif Pančić, profesor, akademik i botaničar svetskog glasa. Želeo je da počiva na krovu Srbije, gde je pronašao retku vrstu omorike koja je po njemu dobila ime, baš kao i sam vrh jedne od najlepših planina Srbije. Ko- paonik je ne samo najveći skijaški centar naše zemlje već nesumnjivo i jedan od najlepših centara u ovom delu Evrope. Sa oko 200 sun- čanih dana godišnje i 160 dana pod snežnim pokrivačem, fantastičnim stazama za šetnju i skijanje, uz vruće vino i rakiju, predstavlja pra- vi izbor za zimovanje. Dobro došli!
