Suva Planina

Suva Planina (Serbian Cyrillic: Сува планина, meaning "The dry mountain") is a mountain in southeastern Serbia. It lies between the towns of Niška Banja to the northwest and Babušnica to the southeast, with a ridge branching towards Bela Palanka to the north. It was previously called Kunovica.
The mountain is the location of the first discovery of Neanderthal remains in Serbia, recorded in April 2019.
Geography.
The highest peak is "Trem" ("porch") at 1,810 m, the second highest being "Golemo Stražište" at 1,714m, as well as "Litica" ("cliff") at 1,683m on the southeast side of the mountain.
The name stems from the fact that there are only a few springs in the whole mountain. The two biggest are "Bojanine Vode" (near to Sokolov Kamen at 860 m) and "Rakoš Česma" (on the Bela Palanka side of the mountain).
Wildlife.
The Divna Gorica range is known for feral horses. They also roam to the other, higher parts of the mountain, above .
Human history.
The Pešturina cave, nicknamed the "Serbian Atapuerca", is located on the northern slopes of the mountain. Since 2006 the cave has been archaeologically surveyed and artifacts from the Middle and Upper Paleolithic periods have been discovered. The artifacts belong to the Neanderthal Mousterian culture, and are dated from 102,000 BP+ 5,000 to 39,000 BP + 3,000, making Pešturina one of the longest surviving Neanderthal habitations. In April 2019 it was announced that Neanderthal remains were discovered, which marks the first discovery of such in Serbia.
Traces of the Roman military road "Via Militaris", connecting Singidunum (now Belgrade) and Constantinople (now Istanbul) are still visible from the mountain.
Tourism.
The slopes of this mountain are popular with skiing.
