Sargan Eight Train - Mokra Gora beautiful views 🚂

The Sargan Eight is a popular and very picturesque heritage line operating on narrow-gauge tracks. The line between Mokra Gora and Šargan Vitasi stations is 15,5 km long, with 22 tunnels (the longest one is 1666 meters) and 5 bridges along the way.

The journey time takes around 40 minutes and the height difference between the starting and final stations is 300 meters. The Sargan Eight name comes from the profile of the line that twists and turns, creating shapes similar to the number eight.

In the past, it used to be part of the line connecting Belgrade with Sarajevo (and then onward to Dubrovnik). The first train on the Sargan Eight route departed on January 25th, 1925.

The operations were suspended in 1974 but some 20 years later the discussion to renovate and restore the line started. Eventually, in summer 2003 the first train on the newly done line resumed the connection between Mokra Gora and Šargan Vitasi. In 2010 the railway line was extended to Visegrad in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The Sargan Eight railway line is located near the village of Mokra Gora in western Serbia, next to the border with Bosnia and Herzegovina. The starting/ending point of the Sargan Eight journey is in Mokra Gora, the train station is located just off the main road going through the village. There is a free parking lot next to the station so if you are traveling by car reaching the place is really easy.

If you use public transport there should be buses from the nearest bigger city in Serbia – Uzice, as well as from other destinations within the country.

The Sargan Eight railway is also a perfect stop if you travel from Belgrade to Sarajevo (or in a reverse direction).
