Have you ever wondered when was the last time you experienced the countryside, without noise, polluted air and concrete all around you? If you want to rest from all of it, and enjoy a completely natural environment, listen to the gurgling of the river, breathe fresh air, eat organic hand made food and forget all your worries. We would suggest having one-day boat trip on the Drina river during your visit to Visegrad . The canyon itself is the second largest in Europe.
In the past, the canyon of the Drina was known for its large streams and whirlpools and old wooden rafts that sailed there. By the end of the 1960s the dam of the hydro electric power plant at Bajina Basta was constructed in Perucac, which turned this section of the Drina river into a peaceful lake, 52 km in length. Instead of rafts, today you can enjoy the Drina river cruise in some of tourist boats. Also there is another lake, upstream from Visegrad, made on the Drina at the end of 80’s. This lake is a perfect spot for fishing and water sports as well.
The owners of this boat like to say that this is the most romantic boat on a whole Drina river. The boat is built in 2007, and it is a property of the former navy captain.
Boat offers:
Cruising on lines:
Višegrad-outfall of a Zepa river (22 km )
Visegrad-Bajina Basta (52 km )
Cruise includes a whole day excursion with organized outdoor lunch (homemade food and fresh fish from the Drina). Also, we own the Rural household-Camp Stari Brod, which is located in the village of Djurevici, the hamlet of Ristici, at the very entrance to the canyon of the Drina river, 17 km downstream from Visegrad. Within the Camp Stari Brod there is a restaurant with a capacity of 50 seats, with an enchanting view of the Drina river. Traditional lamb and veal meat under the bell, Drina fish, barbecue, homemade bread and much more prepared according to traditional recipes with a lot of effort and love. You can also feel this region through traditional drinks, such as plum brandy, pear and apple brandy, made from local varieties of fruit. The eco camp has two accommodation facilities – a new and an old house. The new house has two separate units – an apartment of 50 m2 with a capacity of four beds and an upper floor of 36 m2 with four beds. Both units have a separate bathroom. The rooms are stylishly furnished, fully adapted for relaxation and a pleasant stay. The capacity of the old house is 5 beds.
