Key facts about Perućac
Lake Perućac lies in a natural bend of the Drina Canyon and is suitable for swimming. The Vrelo River flows through the settlement of Perućac and belongs to Tara National Park.
What characterizes the landscape around Perućac?
The Vrelo River flows into the Drina over a 10-meter-high waterfall. As a result, the landscape is characterized not only by the lake but also by the transition from the short river course to the Drina. In Perućac, Vrelo itself is 365 meters long and is also called “Reka godina”.
What water activities can you plan?
Kayaking is offered on Lake Perućac. The Perućac–Rača kayaking tour is considered suitable for beginners. This suitability does not apply universally to every activity on the lake.
Another way to combine the lake and the river landscape is a short two-hour boat trip. It runs from the Bajina Bašta Hydroelectric Power Plant to the beginning of the Drina Canyon. This route has a distinct focus because it connects the lake with the entrance to the canyon rather than being limited to time spent on the shore.
The Drina Regatta takes place every year in July. After 25 kilometers, it ends in the settlement of Rogačica.
Which cultural attraction is associated with Perućac?
Mramorje, also known as Bagruša, is a medieval tomb necropolis in Perućac. It was established in the 14th century and is one of the two sites in the municipality of Bajina Bašta that are listed as protected World Heritage sites by UNESCO.
How can you compare Perućac as a place to stay?
The lake stands for swimming and kayaking, the Vrelo River for a short, distinctive river landscape, and the boat trip for the connection between Lake Perućac and the Drina Canyon. Mramorje, on the other hand, offers a cultural and historical connection within the settlement.
