Most impressive peak of Serbia
Trem (1810 m) is the highest peak of
SUVA PLANINA (Dry Mountain), which is one of the most impressive mountain range in Serbia. Trem is also for sure the most impressive peak of Serbia, because its high and impressive vertical rocky NE wall dominate more than 1000 m above the Kosmovac village.
The north side of Trem is very steep with deep crags and rich beech forest below. On the other hand, south side of Trem is smooth, but bare-wooded. Farther east of Trem peak (1810 m) outspreads the large high-lend plateau. Composition of Trem peak is primary lime stoned.

Devojački Grob (1311 m) pass.
