The village is on the Kopaonik mountain range whose average elevation is 1,397 m (4,583 ft). The highest part of the village is Gobelja hill, easily identifiable from Kopaonik by its antenna. It is said that the village has the purest nature in Serbia,^{[citation needed]} boasting clear waters and rare species of birds and plants. It is a fantastic place for summer mountain adventures such as paragliding, mountain horse riding, and walking. The village has tombs named "stećak" which were made in the middle age. The people living in the village are direct ancestors of Middle Age noble families that were in service to the Nemanjić dynasty royal family and represent a community known as Rascians. The true history of this place was under Ottoman Empire, but there has been no influence on people who live in this village. In the village, you can experience the real spirit of life in Serbia as traditional ways of life have been maintained to the present time.

The following families live in the village today: Trifunović, Vukosavljević, Josijević, Matić, Maksimović, and Dišić. They are from the same ancestors who came to this place in the early middle age. Other families who came from the same ancestors but have left the village previously are the Nedeljković and Crnoglavac families (which have the last name by name of village). Each family is known for the same slava that they celebrate St.Michael (archangel) and Joachim and Saint Anne.

On the other side of the village is the Đorđević family. Their ancestors came from Novi Pazar in 1804, after ustanak was overrun by the Turks.^[2]
