Acting Deputy UNDP Resident Representative in Serbia, Bojana Balon, pointed out that sustainable tourism stimulates local economic development, taking into account nature conservation and preservation of local culture and tradition.
Simultaneously with the opening of the trails, the largest hiking event in Serbia, Rosa Hiking Day, was held on Vlasina. It was organized by the Mountaineering Association of Serbia and participated by more than 500 visitors and nature lovers walking along the trails of Vlasina, including 350 school age girls and boys from the cities of southeastern Serbia. This year's Rosa Walking Day, under the slogan "One step closer to health," helped close to fifteen thousand citizens get more active in a total of 93 locations throughout Serbia.
The trails along Vlasina will be digitized in the coming period, and visitors will be able to explore them via the online platform "Serbian Trails."
