Uvac Special Nature Reserve is a protected area located in southwestern Serbia, near the border with Montenegro. The reserve encompasses the Uvac River valley, which is known for its dramatic meanders and the endemic Uvac trout.
The reserve is home to a wide variety of flora and fauna, including over 100 species of birds, such as the endangered griffon vulture, golden eagle, and peregrine falcon. Visitors can take boat tours along the river, hike through the surrounding mountains, and explore the network of caves and underground tunnels in the area.
One of the most popular attractions in the reserve is the Uvac Canyon, which is a 25-kilometer long gorge that was carved by the Uvac River over millions of years. The canyon is known for its striking scenery, with steep cliffs rising up to 100 meters on either side of the river. Visitors can also see the Ice Cave, which is named after the ice formations that can be seen inside the cave year-round.
Uvac Special Nature Reserve is an important site for conservation, research, and education, and is a popular destination for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts.
