PROGRAM
East of Mokra Gora, there is a village of Kremna known by the prophets Milan and Mitar Tarabic ( 19th century ) who prophesied that ‘…..there will be an iron road with an iron chariot…’This is obviously the famous Cira Train, with its narrow gauge railway (760mm), which was commissioned in 1925, only to be abolished by unreasonable decisions in 1974. It used to connect Uzice to Visegrad, as well as Belgrade to Sarajeo and Dubrovnik. For half a century, this railway kept the door for Mokra Gora open to the world.
It took a quarter of a century for yet another prophecy by Mitar Tarabic to come true in the late 19th century : “It will take quite a few years, but the people will remember the iron road again, and they will reconstruct it. Only the road to Visegrad will not be travelled by travellers looking for work, it will be travelled by people looking for entertainment, nice holidays and enjoyment. That time has come. In 1999 the reconstruction began. Today, the steam engine and popular “Cira" drives the altitude difference of 300 meters along a route that is 3,5 kilometers long. The railroad, with its unusual road loop in the shape of number eight passes through impressive regions. It is 15,5 km long with 22 tunnels and around 10 bridges and viaducts.
