Debates Surrounding Rtanj’s Origins
The very nature of Rtanj remains a subject of scientific debate. Some assert that this mountain is a remnant of an ancient pyramid, while others attribute its formation to natural forces. A third perspective even suggests that it is a creation of higher powers, evoking a sense of wonder and reverence for this geological wonder.
Rtanj’s Healing Powers and Enchanting Beauty
Rising abruptly from the plains of Eastern Serbia, Rtanj beckons those who seek its magic. It is said that every person who sets foot on this hallowed ground experiences a profound connection to an unseen energy, a shift in the air, and an ethereal quality to the surrounding nature. Many have claimed miraculous healings attributed to the renowned “Rtanj tea,” while others have found solace and inner peace amidst its enchanting landscapes.
Ascend to the Mystical Rtanj Summit
To truly immerse yourself in the mystical aura of Rtanj, we invite you to embark on a captivating journey. Ascend to the summit, known as Šiljak, and witness the breathtaking panoramic view that awaits you. The duration of the climb depends on your physical fitness, with several campsites and resting spots available along the way, allowing you to catch your breath and recharge.
Healing Herbs
As you traverse the diverse terrain, transitioning from lush forests to rocky landscapes, you will encounter an abundance of healing herbs, each carrying its own unique properties. Breathe in the fresh mountain air and relish in the awe-inspiring vistas that unfold before your eyes, a reward that awaits atop the majestic peak.
The Endemic Rtanj Tea
Rtanj boasts a rich diversity of endemic plant species, meticulously protected by law. Among them, the renowned “Rtanj tea” (Saturea montana) takes the center stage, renowned for its myriad healing properties. In the past, the gathering of this precious tea was part of the annual “Sv Jovan Biljober” (St. John the Herb Picker) event, held on July 7. Unfortunately, due to a significant decline in growth, it has been banned recently.
Ruins of St. George’s Church
Perched atop Šiljak at 1565 meters, another intriguing sight awaits: the ruins of St. George’s Church, serving as a symbol of the mountain. Built in 1935 by the late owner of the “Rtanj” mine, this chapel was a testament to love and devotion. Sadly, only remnants remain, as treasure hunters resorted to dynamite in a futile search for hidden gold.
Exploring the Frozen Pit
Among the various attractions is the “frozen pit” or “ledenica cave,” nestled on the southeast side of Rtanj’s highest peak. This unique cave stretches fifty meters in length, with its floor adorned with clay and stone blocks. It stands as the sole frozen pit within the karst fields of Eastern Serbia, where low air temperatures have been recorded. Embarking on a venture into the vast halls of this cave and walking upon its unusual terrain is an unforgettable and unparalleled experience.
Energy Emissions and Scientific Mysteries
While skeptics may dismiss tales of aliens, fiery spheres, and unidentifiable voices, one scientifically proven fact remains: Rtanj emits a beneficial form of energy with potential health benefits for humans. Special instruments designed to detect bio-energetic and electromagnetic radiation have recorded energy absorption on the mountaintop Šiljak, while energy emission is predominant at the foot of the mountain in the vicinity of “Svetilište.” Intriguingly, certain locations on the mountain exhibit radiation levels surpassing those found in urban areas.
Extraterrestrial Legends and Geometric Mysteries
Whispers of unusual flying objects gracefully circling Rtanj, along with accounts of fiery spheres and inexplicable voices speaking unknown languages, still reverberate within the mountain’s mystical embrace. The geometric alignment of Rtanj, mirroring the angles of the Pyramid of the Moon in Mexico and the Pyramid of Cheops, adds another layer to the enigma. Coincidence, or perhaps something more profound?
Ideal for Adventurers and Seekers
Rtanj enthralls not only amateur mountaineers but also draws a multitude of tourists, scientists, and seekers of the unknown. The optimal period to visit this wonder extends from early April to late October when organized tours to Šiljak are available. Winter ascents are reserved for experienced climbers, as the harsh climate poses additional challenges. On the mountain’s northern side, covered in verdant forests, a vast hunting ground spanning 6368 hectares provides an opportunity to encounter roe deer and wild boars in their natural habitat.
How to Reach Rtanj
To reach Rtanj, you can embark on a two-hundred-kilometer journey from Belgrade. If traveling from Belgrade or Niš, the most convenient route is via the E75 motorway connecting the two cities. From Sokobanja, follow the regional road towards Aleksinac, then turn right towards Trgovište village. Continue until you reach Muždinac village, where a left turn onto a gravel road will lead you to the foothills of the mountain.
