According to one of the legends, the Tara mountain was named after Tara, the god of the Illyrian tribe Autariata. Because of beauty, Tar selected this mountain to build its divine throne on it.

You need to experience Tara, feel the ground under your feet and breathe its scents. She can be cruel as a wolf, but gentle like a roe.
