Itinerary description

This is not standard hiking route it is more historical oriented walking over Rudnik mountain.
Idea was to visit monastery Voljavca place where first Serbian regulatory body (some kind of government in Serbia during first Serbian uprising against Ottoman empire). Also one of the famous Serbian dukes Tanasko (Atanas) Rajic who died in the battle on hill Ljubic was buried here (his head). The Ottomans surrounded him and had him cut into pieces and his head is placed/buried in the monastery.
More details about Tanasko on Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanasko_Raji%C4%87
Another reason was to visit medieval town named Srebrinica (place where Serbian despot Stefan Lazarevic https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stefan_Lazarevi%C4%87 nominated his nephew Djuradj Brankovic as next ruler of Serbia). Unfortunately it was not possible due to high grass on the track.

Important notice:
Since I am a fan of shortcuts, pay attention to the arrival to the monastery and the descent to the road to Ljubicevac (I do not recommend going down these trails)
Rather use official/marked trails.
