A stone on the summit
The peak is named after Sibinjanin Janko — the folk-song name for the Hungarian commander John Hunyadi — who is said to have left a stone on it to mark his passage. The climb is made from Golija, the mountain that has been part of the UNESCO "Golija-Studenica" biosphere reserve since 2001.
How the day is planned
Golija spreads over some 750 square kilometres and more than 250 springs rise on it, so walking here is mostly along forest tracks and pasture rather than waymarked mountain paths. You reach a starting point by car — there is no public transport — and go on foot from there; the height gain is gentle, but the distances are such that the day should be planned as a whole one.
Above 1,300 metres the winters are severe, and even in the warmer half of the year the weather turns fast: one layer more than you would wear in town is not excessive. There is water on Golija, but do not count on finding it where you need it.
