Varovnice - YU/CS-046 - 406m 1 point
After my morning activation of Avala YU/CS-043, me and my wife decided to visit a nice restaurant near Belgrade... by chance, there was an unactivated and accessible summit not far from the restaurant. So on our way back, we payed a visit to Varovnice YU/CS-046.

| Approaching Varovnice from west. The summit would be unnoticeable if it were not for the commercial antennas. |
Varovnice is an inconspicuous summit on one of the low ridges east from Mt. Kosmaj YU/CS-040. Except the ever present commercial antennas, there is a modest monument, dedicated to the memory of Serbian solders who fought there in early december 1914 during the final stages of the WWI Battle of Kolubara.
Near the monument there are same benches and that was the place I chose for the activation. Since there was not much time left I decided to operate only on 14 MHz, with the quarter wave vertical. First contact was S2S with G4ISJ/P at G/CE-001. In less than half an hour I made 28 qsos and then was time to pack and leave home. I will definitely come again to this summit. It is not too far from home and not as crowded as Avala YU/CS-043 (the only SOTA summit realy close to my home).
