Serbia’s Longest Zipline: 1,350 Metres of Adventure Above Zlatibor

On Zlatibor, the mountain is no longer admired only from its viewpoints – it can now be flown over. In the village of Ljubiš, surrounded by green slopes, meadows, and forests, you will find the longest zipline in Serbia, with a total round-trip length of 1,350 metres. Following the opening of a new return line, the adventure no longer ends on the opposite side of the valley: another ride and an entirely new perspective of Zlatibor’s landscape await.

Reaching a height of approximately 150 metres and located far from the bustle of central Zlatibor, this attraction is one of the most exciting activities for anyone looking to add a real dose of adrenaline to their summer mountain holiday.

Flying Above a Zlatibor Valley

Standing on the platform for the first time usually brings a mixture of excitement and mild uncertainty. A deep valley opens below, with the green slopes of Zlatibor rising on the other side. As soon as the ride begins, however, those initial nerves quickly give way to a wonderful sense of freedom.

The zipline crosses an unspoilt mountain landscape, offering views that cannot be experienced from any conventional viewpoint. As the scenery unfolds below, passengers can see forests, meadows, rural households, and the long outlines of Zlatibor’s hills. It is precisely this combination of speed, height, and open space that makes the ride much more than a brief adrenaline rush.

The newly opened return line is approximately 800 metres long, bringing the total length of both routes to 1,350 metres. Visitors can now return by zipline rather than by road, making the entire experience longer, more complete, and even more exciting. Each direction provides a different view of the landscape, meaning that the second ride is not merely a return journey but an entirely new experience.

Ljubiš: Zlatibor’s Quieter Side

The zipline is located in Ljubiš, a village around 23 kilometres from Zlatibor’s tourist centre. This is the part of the mountain where spacious meadows, forests, winding roads, and traditional rural households still dominate the landscape.

Ljubiš is known for its well-preserved natural surroundings, local hospitality, and homemade food – particularly trout from the village’s fish farms. There are no busy streets or large tourist complexes here. Instead, visitors are greeted by the sound of the river, the shade of the forest, and far-reaching views across Zlatibor’s slopes.

A trip to the zipline is therefore also an opportunity to discover a different side of Zlatibor: more authentic, more peaceful, and much closer to nature.

The Perfect Summer Adventure in the Mountains

Although Zlatibor is known as a year-round destination, summer is particularly well suited to exploring its surroundings. Pleasant mountain temperatures, longer days, and lush greenery create ideal conditions for outdoor activities.

The zipline in Ljubiš can easily be included in a day trip from central Zlatibor. After a morning ride above the valley, the remainder of the day can be spent exploring nearby villages, walking through nature, enjoying lunch beside the water, or visiting one of the area’s celebrated natural attractions.

Nearby, Gostilje Waterfall plunges from a 22-metre-high limestone cliff before continuing through the forest as a series of smaller waterfalls and cascades. A little farther away are Stopića Cave, known for its impressive entrance, limestone pools, and underground waterfall, and the Sirogojno Open-Air Museum, which preserves the traditional houses, crafts, and way of life of the Zlatibor region.

The day can also include a scenic drive through the surrounding villages, a short hike, a visit to a local household, or lunch featuring trout, homemade cheese, kajmak, and other regional specialities.

An Adventure for the Whole Family

The Ljubiš zipline is not reserved only for experienced adventure seekers. Rides take place with appropriate safety equipment and under staff supervision, allowing first-time visitors to enjoy the experience as well.

A one-way ride costs RSD 2,000, while the round-trip experience costs RSD 3,500. According to the organisers, small children travelling on a parent’s lap ride free of charge, subject to prior assessment and approval by the staff. Participation requirements may depend on age, height, weight, and weather conditions, so it is advisable to confirm them directly before arriving.

A Completely New Perspective of Zlatibor

Zlatibor offers a panoramic gondola, hiking trails, viewpoints, caves, and waterfalls, but the zipline in Ljubiš provides something entirely different: the chance to experience the mountain landscape in motion, from above, and with an exhilarating rush of adrenaline.

With a total round-trip length of 1,350 metres and a height of approximately 150 metres, the adventure lasts long enough for the initial fear to disappear – and for the view across the Zlatibor valley to remain firmly in your memory.

For travellers looking to step beyond the usual tourist itinerary this summer, escape the busy centre, and discover a quieter side of the mountain, a visit to Ljubiš could become one of the most exciting highlights of their stay on Zlatibor.
