Once part of Belgrade-Sarajevo railway, now it's heritage railway mainly for tourists. It runs from Mokra Gora to Šargan Vitasi station (Zlatibor and Tara mountains). It passes some bridges and tunnels. The tracks on the map make a shape of "8" to gain height - quite an engineering feat and unique in Europe. The ride is a popular passtime for tourists, so book early if you want one. The station is a convenient place to start walks, take a train ride, visit Drvengrad and see a small railway museum.
The Šargan Eight is a narrow-gauge heritage railway in Serbia, running from the village of Mokra Gora to Šargan Vitasi station. The modern line was restored on 1 September 2003. An extension to Višegrad in the Republika Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina, was finished on 28 August 2010. It was planned to extend the railway to the village of Kremna by the end of 2011, and in 2013 to extend to the city of Užice, but this was only partially carried out.

Traditional village just next to Mokra Gora conceived by, and home of, Serbian film director Nemanja Kusturica. Drvengrad is clearly visible from Golubići station and easily reachable by road (you park and you pay an entry fee) or by stairs from Šargan Eight station. The village is a nice mix of traditional and modern, wood and stone. It has streets and squares named after people Kusturica likes and admires (i.e. Ingmar Bergman, Diego Armando Maradona). It also has tourist services and modern facilities. Here Kusturica organizes annual international film festival which has interesting selection of films and attracts many people.
