Surrounding and climbing Mount Kosmaj along the Zwärgli-Trail

In this country "of buses to everywhere at any time" we made it to Kosmaj, 60km South of Beograd, similarly looking to Avala, but - on a misty Saturday morning - obviously all to ourselves!

We picked up a trail freshly signposted at this little monument in the very North of Kosmaj - you reach it be following the graveled road along the antennas to the North of the road's highest crossing point, and then following down the hiking track slighly to the East for a couple of 100m. From there it is well signposted with a white dot and a red roof (also looking like a Gnome or Zwärgli head) - the indicated Etno Kuja, where Nadia and myself wanted to drink coffee, we however never reached! Otherwise the round trip links all the sights of Kosmaj into a approximately 1.5 to 2h easy hike. 

The monument is huge, indeed, and to honour partisans, as on every other mountain peak surrounding Beograd...you reach it towards the end of the trail.

After paying a visit to the Trebinje Monastery at the foot of Kosmaj about half way of the trail...

 ...we fried sausages to warm us up! They turned out almost Swiss style and were delicious!

 There are several maps posted along the trail, but their information value is rudimentary!
