The nature of Serbia is a first-class tourist value, which is based, among other things, on a large number of mountains, which have different types and times of formation, tectonic structure, geological composition, extent, height and rise of the mountain mass, i.e. tourist attractions. Mountains of Serbia are often mentioned in tourism propaganda. They appear individually and in groups. They contribute to the development of various types of domestic and foreign, seasonal and year-round tourism, in organized and infrastructural well-equipped centres, which over time have formed appropriate contractive tourist zones and confirm with appropriate accommodation and catering facilities, the number of tourists, their overnight stays, health-recreational function and the corresponding manifestations. This is the mountain Maljen. This is its tourist center, Divčibare. Divčibare is less than an hour's drive from Valjevo and Požega and can be reached without difficulty. Tourist traffic in Divčibare has been observed for a long time. It is characterized by significant changes between individual years and longer periods. In the years with the best visitor numbers, more than 50,000 tourists and more than 330,000 of their overnight stays were registered in Divčibare. Domestic tourists were always more numerous than foreign ones.
