Day 2Rafting on the Tara
Approximate breakfast time is around 9 am. You will have the chance to try specialties from our region, home-made food from the nearby villages - homemade prosciutto, sausage, our famous buckwheat uštipci, homemade sour cherry jam, eggs, cheese pies, young Romanija kajmak…
After breakfast you will be given the equipment needed for rafting. You wear all equipment over your swimsuit or shorts.
The drive from our camp to the rafting starting point takes about an hour.
During the rafting you can expect more than 30 exciting rapids (the best known are Ćelije, Borovi, Varda…) that will take your breath away with their power and speed and give you a real feeling of adventure and adrenaline.
Somewhere around the middle of the descent we will take a break and see who has the courage to pass the "manliness test", that is, to bathe in an icy waterfall whose temperature is barely 5 °C.
You will also have the chance to swim in the Piva River - a river with incredibly clean water. After rafting on the Tara, we continue on the Drina to our center.
After some 2-5 hours, which is how long the descent itself lasts, we arrive at the foot of the rafting center. Returning the equipment and warm water follow, which you will find immensely pleasant after the cold water of the Tara River.
We serve lunch when you return from rafting. For lunch you will have the chance to try homemade veal čorba, a fresh village salad, and as the main course veal under the sač with potatoes. All dishes are prepared on the spot, in our kitchen, from mostly organic ingredients from the nearby villages. For dessert we serve homemade cakes - sour cherry cake, wafers, walnut pies, čupavci…
Free time until dinner. The approximate dinner time is around 8 pm. The dinner menu is fresh grilled trout and potato salad.
Socializing by the campfire with music follows. At weekends we have excellent live music organized. Time for great fun, singing and games. Overnight stay.
