Jastrebac is a mountain that consists of two massifs, Veliki and Mali Jastebac. The legend about the gold mines on Jastrebac dates back to the Turks, since it is believed that “gold-bearing” streams, left from ancient exploitation, flowed through the mountain. Somewhat younger legends say that Jastrebac is a mountain of dragons, which “gave birth” to Miloš Obilic, despot Stefan Lazarevic and many other historical and mythical heroes. The phenomenon of the dragon origin of the mountain is also described in the folk song “Carica Milica i Zmaj od Jastrepca”.
