Pančić's Peak (Template:Lang-sr, Template:Lang-sq[1]) is the highest point in the Kopaonik mountain range, which straddles southern Serbia and northern Kosovo. The peak is 2,017 m high,[2] located in the Brus municipality in Serbia.[3][4][5][6] The Serbia–Kosovo demarcation line lies some 50 m south of the summit.[7][3] Pančić's Peak is part of the Suvo Rudište mountainous plateau and natural zone[8] of the Kopaonik National Park. The Kopaonik tourist center operates cable cars to Pančić's Peak and Suvo Rudište Peak.[9][10]

History

The mountain peak was previously named Milan's Peak (Миланов врх, Milanov vrh) after the first king of modern Serbia, Milan Obrenović. On 7 July 1951 it was renamed after the Serbian botanist Josif Pančić, whose remains were buried at the top in a small mausoleum,[11] located next to the radio tower.[12] A memorial to Pančić was placed at the top already in 1897.[13] The site was damaged during the 1999 NATO bombing of Yugoslavia.[14][15][16] The Serbian portion of the Kopaonik (including Pančić's Peak) are part of the Kopaonik National Park, and the only road access to the peak is via the park.[7] The peak can be easily reached from the Konaci tourist complex by foot.[2]
