TARA

Masiv planine Tare nalazi se u zapadnoj Srbiji, u severozapadnom delu oivičen dubokim kanjonom reke Drine, dok mu se ogranci spuštaju ka kremanskoj dolini i dolini reke Đetinje, gde se oslanja na ogranke Zlatibora. Područje planine Tare sačinjava najzapadniju skupinu iz grupe Starovlaških planina i, u širem smislu, sastoji se od tri podeone celine, donekle izdvojene rečnim dolinama, prevojima ili sedlima.

"Mitrovac na Tari Dečije letovalište zimi"Tara u užem smislu – Ravna Tara – deo masiva sa Kaluđerskim barama i krečnjačkom visoravni između sledećih reka: Drina , Rača , Konjska reka , Beli Rzav i Derventa (vrh Zborište 1.544 metara nadmorske visine).

Crni vrh – između suve granice Srbije i Bosne te između sela Zaovine i Rastište. U vezi je sa Ravnom Tarom na prevoju Čemerište, a sa Zvezdom na sedlu Predov Krst (vrh Koziji Rid 1.591 metara nadmorske visine).

Zvijezda – u trouglu između sela Rastište i Jagoštica i kanjonskog dela Drine (vrh Veliki kraj 1.444 metara nadmorske visine).

Sa ovim delovima jedinstveno fizičko-geografsko područje sačinjava i Veliki Stolac (1.675 metara nadmorske visine) koji je u Bosni i istovremeno najviši vrh čitavog područja.

Na osnovu dugogodišnjih proučavanja i istraživanja ovog područja, a radi zaštite izuzetnih prirodnih vrednosti koje ono poseduje Skupština Srbije je 1981 posebnim Zakonom područje Tare proglasila za Nacionalni park.

Planina Tara je poznato i tradicionalno letnje i zimsko rekreativno područje. Povoljni klimatski uslovi, veliki broj sunčanih dana, srednja visina oko 1000 metra nadmorske visine.

Ispod severnih padina Tare leži varošica Bajina Bašta.

Planinu Taru su proučavali mnogi naučnici. Prvi je bio Josif Pančić. Poznati planinar Dr Kuno Vidrić, koji je prepešačio skoro sve važnije planine Evrope, je naviše vremena proveo na Tari obeležavajući planinarske staze i prikupljajući građu za više knjiga o ovoj prelepoj planini.

 

TARA

Tara Mountain, part of the Outer Dinaric Alps, is located in western Serbia and stands at 1,000-1,500 meters above sea level. The mountain's slopes are clad in dense forests with numerous high-altitude clearings and meadows, steep cliffs, deep ravines carved by the nearby Drina River and many karst, or limestone caves. The mountain is a popular tourist center. Tara's national park encompasses a large part of the mountain.

National park
Tara's national park was established in 1981 and it encompasses Tara and Zvijezda mountains, in a large bend of the Drina River. The size of the park is about 220 square kilometers with altitudes varying from 250 to 1,500 meters above sea level. The park's management office is located in nearby Bajina Bašta.

The national park consists of a group of mountain peaks with deep picturesque gorges between them. The most striking of these gorges is the Drina Gorge, with its sheer drops from 1000-250 meters and extensive views of western Serbia and nearby Bosnia. The area is also characterised by karst caves, pits, springs, and breathtaking vista points.

Forests account for three quarters of this national park's area, some of them being the best preserved and well-kept in Europe. Tara also boasts a rare endemic Tertiary species, the Picea omorika, or Serbian Spruce, which is now protected in a small area of the park. Because of its rarity and scientific importance, it has been placed under national protection. Locally, Tara is home to many different species of wildlife, including brown bears, chamois, roe deer, lynxes, otters, wolves and others. More than 100 bird species also make their temporary or permanent homes on the slopes of the mountain: the golden eagle, the griffon vulture, the peregrine falcon, the Eurasian eagle owl, the black grouse, among many others.

The Tara National Park can be reached from Bajina Bašta directly (by the Bajina Bašta - Kaludjerske Bare road), from Perućac via Bajina Bašta (by the Perućac - Mitrovac road) and from Kremna (the Kremna - Kaludjerske Bare road). The Drina Gorge, which is an integral part of the park, can be toured by boat.

Tara National Park is home to Mitrovac, a children's recreational center and several hotel facilities, including Hotel Beli Bor, Hotel Omorika (a large hotel with many conference services), and Hotel Tara.

TARA

Der Nationalpark Tara ist ein 1981 gegründeter Nationalpark in der gebirgigen Region im westlichen Serbien. Das Tara-Gebirge schließt nordwestlich an das das Zlatibor-Gebirge an und erstreckt sich bis zur Drina, die hier die Grenze zu Bosnien-Herzegowina darstellt.

Der Nationalpark erstreckt sich über eine Gesamtfläche von 37.584 ha, das Kerngebiet beträgt davon etwa 22.000 ha. Die Höhenunterschiede gehen von 250 m über dem Meer bis auf 1500 m über. Die Verwaltungsbehörde des Parks hat ihren Sitz in der nahe gelegenen Stadt Bajina Bašta.

Drei Viertel der Fläche des Nationalparks sind von dichten Wäldern bedeckt. Eine botanische Besonderheit ist die Pančić-Fichte, deren einziges Verbreitungsgebiet im Tara zu finden ist. Aufgrund der teils raren Pflanzenarten und der Tiervielfalt ist der Nationalpark von wissenschaftlichem Interesse und wurde auch aus diesem Grund unter strengsten gesetzlichen Schutz gestellt.

Die landschaftliche Attraktivität macht den Nationalpark auch zu einem bedeutenden touristischen Ziel der Region. Mehrere Orte bieten Kurbetriebe an, eine von Touristen häufig in Anspruch genommene Attraktion sind Bootstouren durch die tiefen Schluchten. Unweit des Nationalparks wurde 2003 die Museums- und Touristikbahn Šarganska osmica in Betrieb genommen.
