Pozelecete da opet dodjete u ovu jedinstvenu oazu mira i zdravlja Tara Serbia As an old Slavic legend goes, Mountain Tara got its name after the friendly god Tarr who had chosen this very mountain to spend his divine life there thanks to its outstanding natural beauties [taken from the Slavic mythology]. The oasis of such unspoiled beauty can't be easily nowadays, but one of them is surely Mt.Tara in Western Serbia. Tara is confined by the Drina river to the north, the rivers Derventa and Beli Rzav to the west, the ravines of Mokra Gora and Kemna to the south and the rivers Pilica and Solotuska Reka to the east. The greater part of Tara belongs to Bajina Basta municipality and the lesser one to Uzice. Due to its picturesque scenery and its natural rarities Tara was proclaimed a national park in 1981. Tara National Park covers an area of 19.175 hectares including Mt.Tara,Crni Vrh,Zvezda ,Stolac,the Canyon of Drina with Perucac and outskirts of Bajina Basta.These mountains are the eastern branches of the Dinaric System with similar structure and direction northwest-southeast were the Drina cut a deep and picturesque canyon valley. In geomorphologic sense the whole area of Tara National Park is composed of mountain hills and elevations.The average altitude is 1000-1200 m. The highest peak is Kozji rid with14.84 1591 m above sea level. The hills are clad in dense forest and grass vegetation, wich makes possible the existence of variety of games. Spots with a beautiful view over the whole area are especially attractive for tourists and mountain climbers. Such scenery is particularly impressive and is remembered for a long time. The best known views are Banjska stena at Mitrovac, Biljeska Stena 6 km from Predov Krst,Crnjeskovo at Kaludjerske Bare, Omar, Zboriste. Waterfalls within the national park are also part of its impressive beauty alog the course of mountain rivers and streams. The most attractive waterfalls are in Perucac under Tara, called Mali nad Veliki Skakavac on River Rzav and some bigger and smaller cascades on the rivers Rzav, Derventa and Raca. The wonderful canyon of Drina river [700-1000m deep] is second in Yugoslavia after the Canyon of Tara river [1300m] in Monte Nagro and third in the world after the Grand Canyon of the Colorado river [1800m] in America. The vertical cliffs of Canyon of the Drina River and its tributaries are particularly interesting for the mountain hangers and alpinists. By construction the concrete dam [461 m long and 89, 9 km high] on Drina river at Perucac the artificial lake with the same name was formed [52 km long]. The lake has a great tourist value and importance for lovers of cruising, fishing and swimming. Another important anthropogenous hydrographic creation is reservoir Lake Zaovine.It was formed by damming the upper course of small river called Beli Rzav at18.36 892 m height above sea level. This lake also offers great opportunities for development of tourism and fishing. In the area of Mt.Tara there are a number of springs and lost rivers. The most important cast springs are at Perucac and Ladjevac. The Perucac spring is a place where Vrelo, the shortest river in Serbia starts. It is also called a Year river because it is33.36 365 m long. The Ladjevac spring has its headwaters in the Canyon of Raca not so far from the Raca Monastery and it is famous for its thermal, mineral and healing powers. Basic value of this area is shown through the richest and biodiversity of natural resources.

On the basis of data, in the waters of National park Tara there are 37 fish species which are classified in nine families among which the best known are trout, pikes, carps, sheatfish, perches and others.

The region of Tara is affected by moderate -continental mountain climate which has the highest degree of humidity, compared to central and eastern parts of Serbia. The most important and most attractive cultural-historical value of this region is the Raca Monastery, 7km far from Bajina Basta. This Monastery of holly Assumption of Christ was built in the village Raca, on the right bank of the small river with same name in the second half of the 12 century during the region of King Dragutin Nemanjic.... Serbia Serbia has connected West with East for centuries a land in which civilisations, cultures, faiths, climates and landscapes meet and mingle. It is located in the centre of the Balkan Peninsula, in southeastern Europe. The northern portion belongs to central Europe, but in terms of geography and climate it is also partly a Mediterranean country. Serbia is landlocked but as a Danube country it is connected to distant seas and oceans. Serbia is a crossroads of Europe and a geopolitically important territory. The international roads and railway lines, which run through the countrys river valleys, form the shortest link between Western Europe and the Middle East. From the agricultural regions of the Pannonian Plain in the north, across the fertile river valleys and orchard-covered hills of umadija, the landscape of Serbia continues southward, gradually giving way to mountains rich in canyons, gorges and caves, as well as well-preserved forests. Serbias beautiful mountains, national parks, rivers and lakes are the perfect location for an active outdoor holiday from hunting and fishing to extreme sports. Many times during its rich, centuries-long history, Serbia has been at the centre of Europes and the worlds attention, out of all proportion to its modest size, economic might and number of inhabitants. Many lessons on bravery, patriotism and the struggle for freedom can be learned wherever you turn in Serbia, as you pass through its cities and regions. The cultural and historical heritage of Serbia begins with prehistoric archaeological sites and its legacy from classical antiquity.
