Besna Kobila

Besna Kobila (Serbian Cyrillic: Бесна Кобила,, meaning "mad mare") is a mountain in southeastern Serbia and small ski center. Its eponymous highest peak has an elevation of 1,923 m. It lies 35 km to the east of the city of Vranje. There is a mountain chalet Besna Kobila from where it takes between 60 and 90 minutes to reach the summit on foot. The mountain is known for its stormy weather, so the best months for climbing are during the warmer part of the year.

Besna Kobila used to have 9 months of snow a year, making it suitable for ski tourism. As of 2010, there is only the mountain chalet, which has been used for accommodation of students. The "skyway" (nebeski put) – road running over the vast pastures on the highland – lies at the altitude of 1800 m and is suitable for mountain biking, safari bus and off-roading. There are ambitious plans to build a bigger ski center on the mountain, and the municipality is searching for foreign investors.
