I've been wanting to get to the Uvac River meanders for a whole year, but it just never worked out. Finally, I'm here.

You can drive to the viewpoint with the best views, but that's boring. So we decided to kayak instead. Just 8 kilometers on the water, a short climb, and stunning scenery.

The plan was solid, but there was a misunderstanding with the guys renting us kayaks: they initially said it was just 2 hours of paddling and then walking back. But it turned out they meant something completely different—we had to kayak back to the starting point too (because it's 35 kilometers on foot). Nobody was mentally prepared for another 8 km on the water, but we all made it.

Looking back, they communicated with me by email in English through a translator. But in person, we could only speak Serbian. And man, do they love taking photos with the Serbian flag—you can't stop them (:

The views are absolutely mesmerizing. On the way back, we got caught in some light rain, but the river water was noticeably warmer than the rain, so it was actually nice. Everything turned out great. Highly recommend!
