Boban thanks for sharing, never knew that place was so unique. Uggg not a bear fan. Had a camping incident as a child camping and a bear can into our camp, was so scary! Was age 10 or so.

Simply stunning views Vern. Being so high and looking everything down feels like you are a God for that moment and thanking whoever is our creator. The forests there seem peaceful and beautiful. Would love to camp there.

Those 2 boys playing the music are gypsies. Many of them go into that profession and play at weddings and other places. In fact, many singers in Serbia are of Rom origin especially of yesteryear.

Could also be related to Taranis the Celtic Thor, which was probably the same "God" as Thor. Thor is pronounced whithout the "h" like a lot of words in old Celtic or Gaelic (Gathelic). Illyrians were also big around there who are always referred to as "ancient Greeks". Usually, when they use that term it is another word for Phoenicians, not always, but often. Illyrians mixed in with the Celts and were still called Illyrians (the same people who mixed back in).

Could be from the same god Thor. Nobody knows the origins. Could also be related to the Tatra mountains between Slovakia and Poland. A lot of names that you find in Serbia are also found north to them like Morava river in Slovakia.

@@frostflower5555 Could also be related to the name Sara or Tsara a mountain south of there. For all we know it could be related to the Sava river too. Ive noticed that many names the Celts gave to European rivers, mountains and cities are usually left out of the subject. For instance Sofia, Bulgaria was a Celtic city (Serdica). I lived there for a year and never knew that. Why is it not important to know the first inhabitants of Europe?

Odd its named "Tara" like Tara in Ireland. The Scordisci, a Celtic tribe were all over Serbia. I wonder if they named it. Cant find any etymology of the name so its possible it is related.
