Kayaking on the river Drina

Kayaking on the river Drina

One of the best ways to get to know the river Drina and its upper reach are kayak/canoe tours. Exploring hidden locations on the banks of the Drina begins at the confluence of the Tara and Piva, where they form the river Drina. The rivers Tara and Piva give the Drina the characteristics of a wild mountain river making it ideal for kayaking. The river Drina is an emerald on a pearl necklace that adorns the Balkans. Because of its green color and clear water, the Drina used to be called Zelenika (zelena = green). In the course of history, the Drina has attracted the attention of many travel writers, but few of them managed to find the words to describe the beauty of its restless water. It is not uncommon for those who, while exploring the river, become fascinated with what they see, so there are more and more fishermen, rafters, and kayakers who come back here every year. This is an adventurous trip, so prior experience and skills of water competency are desirable.
