Mišići on the Zeleni Jadar

Mišići is an urban settlement on the regional road from Milići to Zeleni Jadar. The settlement lies on both sides of the Zeleni Jadar River, which is also the most important watercourse in the local community area. A floodplain stretches along the river, and its land is suitable for cultivation. The rest of the local community area is hilly and is mostly suitable for livestock farming and fruit growing. This places a flat river landscape and hilly terrain side by side as two distinct landscape types. If you choose Mišići as your destination, you can get a sense of how the river and the surrounding area shape the character of the local community.

Botanical Garden in Milići

A distinct natural attraction is the “Jovan i tri sestre: Angelina, Đurđa i Drina” Botanical Garden in the center of Milići. The garden covers 2,000 square meters and contains 137 exotic trees from all continents. The number of trees may change over time. With its worldwide range of origins, the collection offers a different focus from the river and hilly landscape of Mišići. If you are interested in plants, the garden is a separate attraction alongside the local community’s agriculturally suitable land.

Mining history and exhibitions

Milići offers several perspectives on mining and “Boksit.” The Mining Museum at Dom rudara displays awards and documents relating to the establishment and history of the “Boksit” company. The museum also includes mineral samples, work and protective equipment, written documents, and an audio and video archive. In this way, the exhibition combines company history with material, written, and audiovisual collections.

A different perspective is offered by “Boksit’s” permanent outdoor exhibition. It displays mining equipment ranging from mine carts used from 1959 onward to large loading and transport machines. This brings documentary and technical aspects of mining history together. At the top of Rajkov Tower is the “Nekad i sad” exhibition. Its 50 photographs cover the development of “Boksit” and Milići as a modern urban settlement over 50 years. The tower also offers a 360-degree panoramic view of the surrounding landscape. The exhibition and the viewpoint offer different perspectives: the photographs focus on development, while the tower looks out over the landscape.

Parks, events, and fishing

The “Park velikana” in Milići has 36 monuments and is divided into three separate areas: a park of Serbian figures, a park of Russian figures, and a park of European figures. The busts there include Tesla, Picasso, Mozart, and Aristotle. Milići is also home to the “Supač polje” sports and recreation center.

Culture and sport also come together at two named events. The Municipality of Milići organizes the “Avgustovski dani kulture i sporta”; the “LJetnji festival kulture i sporta” is organized and supported as its main sponsor by “Boksit.” If one of the festivals is important to your trip, check the event dates in advance.

Fishing is also a regional activity with a defined scope: the Zvornička fishing region includes the Municipality of Milići, and fishing there is permitted only on the Jadar River. This means your trip can combine different interests: the river and hilly landscape of Mišići, cultural attractions in Milići, and fishing in the Zvornička fishing region.
