Vrelo River & Perućac Lake
Врело · Језеро Перућац
The “River of One Year,” only 365 meters long, flows straight from a spring into the Drina, with the Perućac Lake gorge alongside.
The Vrelo River emerges from a spring beneath a rock face and flows only 365 meters before dropping into the Drina over a waterfall about 10 meters high. Because its length matches the number of days in a year, it is called the “River of One Year” and is one of the shortest rivers in Serbia. There are restaurants and viewing platforms by the river. Upstream lies Perućac Lake, a gorge reservoir on the Drina, where in summer you can take boat trips through the canyon or join Drina rafting and raft races. Located at the foot of Tara National Park near Bajina Bašta, it can be visited on the same day as the house in the river.
