Where is Miniada taking place?

The main part of the Miniada 09 will be held at the parking lot behind "Avala" hotel on Avala, bear Belgade, in Serbia.

Avala is a mountain, 511m high, situated 15km from Belgrade. This oversized hill is a very popular picnic site, offering a variety of attractions scattered around the forests. You can find more information at:

Avala hotel is a magnificent building near the peak, and it has been recently renovated. The owner has been kind to us, and the hotel will open an open-air grill and bar. Also, guests can stay at the hotel at affordable prices.
Building of hotel Avala started in 1928. on demand of King Alexandar Karađorđević for the purposes of ministry of forestry & waterpower engineering of Kingdom of Yugoslavia. Structure was projected by famous Russian architect Viktor Lukomski who also projected Serbian royal palace, Serbian Orthodox Church patriarchate as if lot of other public buildings with great cultural and historic importance.
Lot of events of national importance are related with this building. One of them took a place here in 1929. year when the First Ski Championship in Kingdom of Yugoslavia was started from the todays parking lot. First Ski Championship of Serbia after World War II was also started from here.

The large parking lot can take more than 100 Minis, as well as our guest oldtimers, visitors, and the rest of the Miniada. Mini Club Serbia has acquired all the neccessary permits and licences, so that all will run smoothly and the regular trafic will be diverted.

The Minis will not be arriving directly to Avala, but gather downtown in front of the City Hall, (more about that further down)

What fun can I expect?

We have done our best to prepare a memorable event. There will be music, food, awards, souveniers, lots of fun, and of course - lots of Minis!

Be careful when driving downhill from Avala! The road is good, it winds through the woods and it is very tempting to drive fast - DON'T! Many skilled drivers have lost their lives there, or were seriously injured. Drive slowly and carefully. The Balkan Miniada is taking place on the parking lot next to Avala hotel. Mini Club Serbia and the organizers of Miniada will not be responsible for any consequences of careless driving after the event has started.
