Hotels in Karanovac: Circular Hiking Route, Bara Starača and Ilindanski susreti

Bara Starača is a complex of marshland and pond areas in Karanovac. It consists of three ponds that merge into one continuous body of water when it rains. The boundaries of the fishing area at Bara Starača, as well as the areas where fishing is prohibited, are clearly marked.

A marked hiking route begins at an elevation of 250 m by the railway bridge in the weekend settlement of Karanovac on the Prenja River. From there, it leads through a pine forest towards the peaks of Mala Ostravica. The route is designed as a circular hiking route and is slightly longer than 12 km. Its starting point, elevation, trail markings, landscape and direction are therefore clearly specified.

Six cultural and artistic ensembles performed at the seventeenth Ilindanski susreti in Karanovac. The Ilindanski susreti include folklore performances and traditional costumes; the traditional Ilindanski susreti take place in Karanovac every year on the occasion of the Feast of the Holy Prophet Elijah. A church and folk festival has been held for many years at Molitvište in Karanovac. On the occasion of Ilindan, an evening service was celebrated at the Church of the Holy Prophet Elijah in Karanovac.

The cultural and artistic ensemble KUD Karanovac was founded in 1952. The KUD preserves the traditions of the Ozren region and has represented the tradition of Ozren at numerous festivals around the world. Thus, alongside the annual Ilindanski susreti, the ensemble, its founding in 1952 and its festival appearances beyond the region are also central to the area’s cultural heritage.

The narrow-gauge railway line between Gračanica and Karanovac was planned and built between 1895 and 1898. The line was 4,010 metres long and served to transport passengers, mail, other materials and goods. Its function therefore covered not only passenger transport, but also mail shipments and the transport of other materials and goods.
