When you first travel to Drvengrad, it feels as if you’ve arrived at a traditional Serbian village. With quaint wooden houses, colorful street signs, and a calm atmosphere, Drvengrad is the quintessential selo (village)!
But wait, let’s play a game…
Take a guess at how old Drvengrad is: 50 years? 75? Maybe even 150 years?
Nope! It’s actually less than 20 years old… and, most likely, younger than you or me. 😊
That’s because Drvengrad isn’t really a traditional Serbian village (or at least not in the typical sense). It was actually created in the early 2000s as a film set for Emir Kusturica’s movie Life Is a Miracle but was so well-liked that it turned into its own tourist attraction.
Thanks to this, Drvengrad is a popular stop on most West Serbia itineraries and is easily reached from Mokra Gora, Zlatibor, and other nearby cities. It’s only a 3-hour drive from Belgrade and makes for a fantastic weekend getaway or a drawn-out day trip.
