Mokra Gora (Serbian Cyrillic: Мокра Гора, lit. 'Wet Mountain', pronounced[mɔ̝̂kraːɡɔ̝̌ra]) is a village located in the city of Užice, southwestern Serbia. It is situated on the northern slopes of the Zlatibor Mountains. Emphasis on historical reconstruction has made it into a popular tourist center with unique attractions.[3]
Mokra Gora has become popular after 2003 reconstruction of a narrow gauge railway called Šargan Eight which is unique in the world.[4] Its route viewed from the sky, looks like the number eight.
In addition, the well-known Serbian film director Emir Kusturica has also made a contribution to the development of tourism in Mokra Gora. In 2004, he financed the construction of an ethno village Drvengrad ('Timber Town') near Mokra Gora.[5] For this development, Kusturica received the "Philippe Rotthier European Architecture Award" from the "Brussels Foundation for Architecture".[6]
