Summary/Abstract: National parks are the most famous tourist destinations in Serbia. Tara National Park is one of the few mountain centers with a long tradition of stationary and excursion tourism. Sports and recreation are present, as additional program contents, then sports competitions, manifestations, or excursion activities of smaller groups and individuals. In this work, the focus was on a better description of natural characteristics and anthropogenic values, a detailed description of the structure and current state of the tourist and sports infrastructure, sources of human resources, and the existing offer of sports and recreational contents and events in the protected area. However, one of the conclusions is that sports and recreation in Tara National Park are not at the level of sports and recreational tourism. An adequate scientific study followed by systematic application is necessary. That is why this work is also an invitation to scientific workers to pay more attention to sports and recreational tourism in Tara.
