*Extreme sports*
-Rafting-
Rafting is actually going down the river in
special rubber boats designed for the rapids. The development of this
activity as a leisure sport has become popular since the mid 1970s.
Each passenger is equipped
with the rescue gear, and the boats are driven by helmsmen, the
professionals who were bred near the Tara River. The level of the
activity for the River Tara is3-4( the Colorado river has a degree 5),
which means that the activity and adventure that the River Tara can
offer is the very top of the wild rivers. Even myself with my family,we
were there and we enjoed!!!!
Rafting or whitewater rafting is a
recreational activity utilizing a raft to navigate a river or other
bodies of water. This is usually done on whitewater or different degrees
of rough water, in order to thrill and excite the raft passengers.
If a group wishes so, the number and the
length of breaks can be agreed on: we recommend a break on the bank,
swimming and taking photoes (we leave the choice of places to the
rafters).
We continue the rafting along the tamer current of the river Drina, with
a few rapids till the camp Batasi, into which we enter in the afternoon.
If the rafting is during summer then, you should be wearing light
clothes or bathing suits in a boat. You should keep in mind a possible
change in weather, cold spells and rain. Mackintosh will provide you
protection from rain or “showers” at bigger falls, but you should bring
extra clothes for different weather conditions. Thus, dry clothes would
await you at the camp.We start at 12:00 from Šljivansko rafting place,
at the foot of Drenova hill, which is 3 km upstream from the famous
bridge over the Đurdevića Tara River.
The beginning of the ride is very calm, and only smaller waves and
whirls bring excitement to this part of the canyon of the Tara river.
Not one camera can be indifferent before the beauty of this goddess.
After 20 minutes we reach a small river Ljutica, the shortest river in
Europe. And the eye can see as far as the spring of the Ljutica river.
the river springs from a rock, and in a milky gush it pours into the
Tara river 100 meters further down. A similar small river cuts across
the stream of the Tara river.
