Get in
thumb | 300px | Holy pine in Kamena Gora One day train ("Tara") and one night train ("Lovcen") take six hours from Belgrade via Rakovica (for Belgrade suburban lines) and Bijelo Poljea, and continue from Prijepolje to Podgorica and Bar; they're chronically late. The day train is cancelled at least until mid-Dec 2021. In Belgrade for some years these trains departed from Topcider, the dreary motorail terminal in the southern burbs, but they now run from Centar station.

Prijepolje (, ) is a town and municipality located in the Zlatibor District of southwestern Serbia. As of 2022, the town has 11,928 inhabitants, while the municipality has 32,214 inhabitants.
==Etymology== One possible meaning of the name Prijepolje is "Prija's field", where Prija is the owner of polje, the "field" in English. However, a more likely theory is that the name originates from the location of Prijepolje and its relationship to the travels of caravans. When those caravans were passing through the area which would become Prijepolje, they would arrive at the settlement "before the fields", where the present day neighborhoods of Ivanje and Velika Župa are located. "Prije" means "before", and "polje" means "field", hence, the location might be called Prijepolje.
