The Gold Gondola, once again this autumn, sends a message of peace and freedom from Zlatibor. Celebrating Armistice Day on November 11th during World War I on the Gondola is more than just a tradition. It is a symbolic gesture that connects the past and the present, the silence of nature, and the voice of the modern generation that believes in change.
Falconry Performance at the Summit
Over the weekend of November 10th and 11th, visitors to the Gondola had the opportunity to experience a unique program dedicated to symbols of strength and perseverance. On November 10th, a Falconry Show was held at Tornik, where visitors met noble birds that, in free flight, represent what we all strive for – breadth, height, and the courage to rise above the everyday. In European culture, these birds are symbols of freedom and victory. Despite the cold and foggy weather, visitors enjoyed a two-hour program, having the chance to interact directly with these majestic birds. The youngest guests eagerly petted, held, and participated in various activities, making the entire experience not only educational but also extremely entertaining, leaving a strong impression on everyone present.
Natalia's Ramonda
On the following day, November 11th, visitors traveling on the gondola received a symbolic gift – a badge in the shape of Natalia's Ramonda, a rare plant that, even when it appears to have completely withered, comes back to life when touched by a drop of water. This simple yet profound moment serves as a reminder of the strength of life, community, and persistence. Along with the Ramonda, a symbol of Serbia's revival, the Gondola aimed to contribute to preserving the memory of this historical date and to highlight values that should still be upheld today – freedom of thought, the courage to remain true to oneself, and responsibility to the community. This event also carried a quiet message of support for people around the world who seek their voice and believe in a better future – reminding us that every upward journey, whether it's the flight of a noble bird or a ride on the gondola, shows that heights are not conquered by strength but by boldness and faith.
