Resumo

Objectives: This study highlights the rich cultural‑historical heritage of Mount Rudnik and examines how it can strengthen Central Serbia’s tourism offer. Theoretical Framework: Drawing on cultural‑tourism theory, heritage valorisation and destination branding, the work situates Rudnik within contemporary debates on mountain destinations in post‑transition economies. Method: We employed a descriptive‑analytical method combining desk research, field surveys and analysis of official tourism statistics between 2000 and 2022. Results & Discussion: Rudnik contains dozens of archaeological sites, medieval fortifications, sacral monuments and vernacular structures. Visitor numbers peaked in 2008 but remain seasonal, signalling unexploited capacity and a need for product diversification. Implications: Findings guide local authorities and tourism organisations in prioritising conservation, interpretation and event programming to extend stays and balance seasonality. Originality/Value: The paper systematises dispersed Serbian‑language evidence, providing the first English baseline for further research and destination planning.
