The canyon is part of the Tara River rafting route. The one-day rafting
route, from Brstnovica to Sćepan Polje, is 11 mi 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 that part of the Tara. The rapids are Brstanovići,
Pećine, the very dangerous Celije rapids and Vjernovički rapids. If one
decides to go all the way, rafting adventure is 62 mi long. At the
beginning one will see the waterfalls of Ljutica, then you will pass
under the 541 feet high monumental bridge of Tara. Next thing you can
see on this exciting journey is the old Roman road and the Lever Tara.
"Funjički bukovi" and "Bijele ploče" will make you realise how calm and
up to this moment nice Tara becomes a wild beauty. "Nisovo vrelo" is the
deepest part of the canyon (3608 feet high). Further is the bottom of
the mountain top, "Curevac" (5413 feet), that rises above Tara as its
"eternal guardian" and one of the nicest viewpoints of the Durmitor
area.
A canyon or gorge is a deep narrow valley with steep sides, with a stream flowing through it and is most often carved from the landscape by the erosive activity of a river. Canyons of Balkans are hiding some amazing history of modern Civilization.
