Have you heard for canyoning in Sutjeska National Park?
Canyoning in National Park Sutjeska is a new adventure activity very popular due to the proximity of the Canyon of the river Tara, so many rafting fans can experience a new adventure. Canyoning in the Sutjeska National Park since 2014 is the most popular tourist activity in this area in addition to the many adventurous activities offered along with rafting on the Tara River.
Hrcavka canyon has two canyoning sections, the most popular being the last section by the old medieval fortress Todjevac, and for those who want to take on the challenge of all-day canyoning for 6-8 hours, they can experience both sections. It is ideal for canyoning because during the summer the river never dries up, it is crystal clear and drinkable, and it abounds in waterfalls and deep pools. The most attractive part of the canyon is located near Tjentiste and nearby the main road, so we can say it is accessible for this activity.
Attractions of the Sutjeska National Park.
The oldest and largest national park in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Sutjeska National park offers a variety of natural beauty as well as cultural and historical treasures. There are numerous natural attractions , including Maglic (the highest peak of Bosnia and Herzegovina), Perucica primeval-forest with Skakavac waterfall, numerous glacial lakes near Zelengora mountain and only access to Trnovacko lake in Montenegro.
The National Park Sutjeska is also known for the Tjentište Valley of Heroes. A great battle of the Second World War took place on Sutjeska. After the Second World War, a memorial complex was built. Memorijalni kompleks Tjentište je veličanstven spomenik u znak sjećanja na bitku na Sutjesci.
Todjevac fort is a little-known medieval fortress.
The Medieval fortress of Todjevac on the cliffs of the Hrcavka river canyon offers stunning panoramic views of the valley. Fascinating discoveries like the stone cannon quince recovered during canyoning. Stone cannon quince now undergoing further research at the museum in Foca.
The waterfall in the Hrcavka river canyon the attraction worth visiting.
Another new and little-known attraction is the Skakavac waterfall at the very exit from the Hrcavka canyon. To avoid confusion, it is the same name as the Skakavac waterfall in the Perucica rainforest, but it is also imposing with its height of some 20 m, so far it only catches the eye of canyoning participants.
The waterfall is only 2 km away from Tjentiste and it is very easy to visit, you just need to follow the river Hrcavka upstream to the village Todjevac some 1.8 km by car then another 200m on foot and a little adventure to get wet, you need to cross to the other side of the river, this is not some problem the depth is about 30cm. All in all, we think it worth a visit this place, especially on hot summer days, the sound of an ice waterfall and the echo of the canyon it will be a wonderful feeling for all your senses.
