 Although rare, there are places whose beauty is difficult to
describe. Simply, you feel it in the
perfect natural harmony of a roaring river, of a canyon, of lush or
sparse vegetation, or of the sky. Rafting the Tara River is an
incredible experience for adventurers and nature lovers.
The Tara canyon, which is 1.3km deep at some points, is the
deepest and longest in Europe. UNESCO desiginates it as a world
heritage site. There are rocky and pebbly terraces, sandy beaches,
high cliffs, and more than 80 large caves along the canyon. The Tara
River is the biggest European supply of drinking water. As you go
rafting down its rapids you can drink it!
 You can go rafting by boat or wooden raft along 100km of the most
beautiful and the most exciting part of the Tara. You leave from
Splaviste, where you can see Ljutice falls, the Tara Bridge (150m
high), the old Roman road, and Lever Tara. Then, you pass the wild
Funjicki and Bijele ploce rapids, Miso's spring
where the canyon is the deepest (1100m), beneath Curevac peak (1650m),
the falls of the Draga river, and Radovan luka. The
scenery simply takes your breath away by its beautiful nature and the
strength of the rapids. There are Tepacki falls, the Susica canyon,and
Bailova sige. The rafting ends at Scepan polje.
 On your river trip, either lunch or dinner is served in the natural
environment by the river. You can taste the regional specialities:
cream, cheese, lamb, and bread baked in an iron pan under the embers.
Rafting tours start from these departure points: Splaviste, Radovan
Luka and Brstanovica.
The one day rafting route, from Brstnovica to Scepan polje is 18km
long and it takes 2 to 3 hours. This part of the canyon is the most
exciting because the river has the biggest drop in
elevation in the shortest length. There are 21 out of 50 rapids in
this part of the Tara. The rapids are Brstanovici, Pecine, the very
dangerous Celije rapids
and
Vjernovicki rapids.
Have a great time!
