Pinickers who want to spend a weekend in nature are happy to choose Djor's Bridge, especially during the hot summer weather, because here they are surrounded by centuries-old beech woods that create fantastic shade.

Many who have chosen Djor's Bridge to escape from the city in previous days when Serbia was "burning" at +40 degrees Celsius testify that they had to wear long-sleeves in the evening, because of the cool mountain air.

There are numerous summer houses for visitors there, as well as barbecues that visitors can use to prepare food as they spend time in the forest.

A river with an interesting and unusual name - Samokovka - flows through the picnic spot. It is formed by six streams with high mineralization that flow down from the summit of Kopaonik - the streams are called Javor Cesma, Pajino Preslo, Kaznovske Bacine, Marine Vode, Krcmar Vode, and Sedam Suza.

Folk stories have it that there used to be a machine in the Samokovka River for extracting gold and iron. As since according to the legend, the machine was constantly forging, so the river was named Samokovka ("Self-Forger").
