Dreznicka Gradina

Walking trails
About sixty kilometres of trails are marked around the village. The circular route joins what is otherwise visited separately: the fish ponds, the old watermills and Petnica waterfalls, Terzica Avlija, Potpec Cave and the summit of Gradina itself. A day on foot is enough to see the village from every angle.
Paragliding
There is a prepared launch site on Gradina, and the "Zlakuski Soko" paragliding club organises cups here. The dome shape of the peak and the open view are why people fly from it — nothing obstructs any side.
What you can see from the top
The view runs across the Djetinja valley and the surrounding villages towards Zlatibor and the mountains of western Serbia. On and around the summit there are Second World War markers; down in the village itself stands the "Vesala" memorial park, raised to the eighteen who were killed.
