Itinerary description
Traditional winter rise on pyramid mountain Rtanj's summit Siljak starts from separation some 3km from motel Balasevic. Rise was done from northen side. deciduous forests until small glade, with strong and cold wind but nice view on valley. From here a bit of rock climb starts. Than trail run through pine forest at which end is beginning of reef for final climb. Descent was from southern side and at the beginning run through meadow. After couple of km start forest and trail was quite rocky and slippery almoust all way until village of Rtanj. Its took me 8 hours for entire trail although it could be faster if you are better prepared and in smaller group.
Tradicionalni zimski uspon na Rtanj je izveden sa severne strane. Put prvo vodi kroz listopadnu sumu, potom sa izlazi na proplanak gde uvek duva jak vetar ali je prelep pogled na dolinu. Odavde pocinje uspon stenom dok se ne dodje do borove sume. Iz borove sume se izlazi na pocetak grebena za zavrsni uspon. Silazak juznom stranom pocinje stazom/serpentinom do ulaska u listopadniu sumu odakle je staza prilicno stenovita a zbog zime je bila i ledena i klizava i tako skoro sve do sela Rtanj. Meni je trebalo 8 sati za celu stazu mada moze i za manje vremena ako ste u boljoj kondiciji i ako je grupa manja jer smo dosta vremena izgubili u silasku.

Good to see you guys being busy again! But what a big group! Half the city must have been busy on that nice sunny winterday....
Hi,
January hiking on Rtanj is traditional action of Mountaineering Association of Serbia and lot of entysiasts participate, also from neighbouring countries. It counts to be good start of preparation for serious alpinists for that season.
