The Sargan Eight is a narrow gauge tourist railway in Serbia, running from the village of Mokra Gora to Sargan Vitasi station. It is located in gorgeous scenery of Mokra Gora between three Serbian mountains – Tara, Zlatibor and Sargan – is one of the most beautiful railways in the world.

Sargan Eight is the one of the most attractive tourist destinations in Serbia. The railway is well known due to its specific shape of number eight. With this unusual shape, the 300 mettre altitude is bridged by only 3.5 kilometres longitude. The “eight” section includes approximately 20 tunnels and ten bridges that form a third of the total length of the railway, which makes it unique. The train is climbing up to 1544m altitude, and the total lenght of the railway is 15 km. This railway was restaurated for the purpose of making the movie “Life is a miracle” (2004) directed by famous Serbian film director Emir Kusturica.
