Still, many agreed that numerous viewpoints that reveal the landscapes almost hard to describe are the strongest impression they have brought back from Bobija. According to the hikers and adventurists that have taken over them, unbelievable sights of Western Serbia can be seen from there.

Slopes of the near Medvednik and Jablanik, abundant and wild nature combined with the fresh air, are just bits of something that awaits you on the top! Surrounding villages and village households that a human had kept in its original form are also here, hugged by the untouched nature.

O PLANINI BOBIJA - SRPSKI

Bobija je planina u Zapadnoj Srbiji u predelu pod nazivom Azbukovica, nalazi se između desne obale Drine, Sokolskih planina, Jablanika, Medvednika i kanjona Trešnjice. Bobija je udaljena 140 km od Beograda, od Ljubovije 30 km, a od Bajine Bašte i Valjeva koji kilometar više. Najviši vrh nosi naziv Tornička Bobija i visok je 1272 metara.

Bobiju krase četinarske i bukove šume, pašnjaci i proplanci. Najveća sela su Savkovići (Donji i Gornji Savkovići) i Gornje Košlje u čijem sastavu se nalaze i brojni zaseoci. Stanovništvo se najviše bavi stočarstvom i voćarstvom. Seljaci proizvode kvalitetno mleko, sir i kajmak. Od voćarstva zastupljena je šljiva i malina. Za stanovništvo u selima na padinama Bobije proizvodnja maline predstavlja glavni izvor prihoda.

Tornicka bobija obiluje jakim i hladnim izvorima pijaće vode na velikim nadmorskim visinama, među kojima je najpoznatiji izvor „Dobra voda“. Preovlađuju bukove i antropogene četinarske šume. Lepotu ove planine čine i mnogobrojni vidikovci i kanjoni reka Trešnjice, Tribuće, Sušice i Ljuboviđe.

Bobija je stanište bjeloglavog supa - najveće ptice u Evropi. U reci Trešnjici se mresti retka vrsta ribe – mladica.
