River Sava - from Ada Medjica to Ada Bridge

Published by Blogfish at 4:29 PM

Finally a bit of nice weather to paddle! Even though it wasn't our first paddling this year, it was the first time we brought the camera with us (ili along). Since the weather was quite moody we decided not to travel too far away, so the choice fell on the Sava river which is practically in our neighborhood. We chose the part behind Ada (river island), and given that Sava river was not too rapid those days, we paddled upstream ‘till we reached Ada...

Slajz - Place where priests do not come

Published by Blogfish at 12:26 PM

The plan was quite simple ... Right across the bridge over the Danube, near the village Beska there is a combination of ponds and bayous surrounded by thick forests.The idea was to visit Arkanj. At the beginning of one of the river bayous is the place called "The end of the World", bohemian tavern without electricity and water. This is a place that is often being referred as "forgotten in time" and it is also a place where you can taste a superb...

Brestovac - Omoljica through the river Ponjavica

As we have already visited rivers in our close neighborhood, we got the idea to get out of Belgrade and visit a river or a lake near enough for a half day trip and far enough to have a feeling that we have actually traveled somewhere.

We have started to look through the map and after a while we have found...

Lovely weather, nice sun, tie the boat, get the paddles, give direction to the gas and get straight to Turski dunavac (Turkish bayou)! You have not heard of the Turkish bayou? Maybe Male vode (Little river)? Not even that? However, neither have we, and it is only 15km from the center of the city. With the Internet, help from GPS, and a little bit of luck, we were on a dusty road, near the coast, hoping to find a suitable place to drop a kayak in...

Vizelj – Amazon of Borcha

Published by Blogfish at 7:59 PM

Before I say anything I have to admit that, even if I live in Belgrade for 27 years I didn’t know there was a river in Borcha! In my 8th grade the regulatory in geography consisted from filling the blank map. It was scheduled but never kept due to bombardment (as well as any other classes), so for my lacking knowledge of national geography I can blame no one else but America. Although I already learned in school where do the merino sheep browse...
