Beskrivning

Trešnjica River originates in the southwestern slopes of the Povlen mountain creating in its middle course a deep limestone gorge-like canyon with vertical cliffs. The canyon is deep - up to 150m - and is not easily accessible, except for the narrow path in the map below.

The deep and unpenetrable canyon is an ideal habitat for gåsgam. Dozens of birds can be seen circling around nearby peaks and hovering between the two canyon cliffs. Other birds of prey like ormvråk, örnvråk, Pilgrimsfalk, and kungsörn can occasionally be spotted here too. The river itself hosts gråhäger, forsärla, and strömstare. entita, stjärtmes, trädgårdsträdkrypare can be found in the oak and hornbeam forest around the river, while balkanmes and buntings occupy the small orchard terraces on both sides of the canyon mouth.

The area is protected as the 'Special Nature Reserve Gorge of the Trešnjica River' and is a part of the wider area of the IBA Valjevske Mountains.

Detaljer

Tillgänglighet

Trešnjica Canyon is accessible from the regional road along the Drina River valley. The narrow asphalt road departs from the regional road at Gornja Trešnjica village and leads to St. Nikola's Church following the lower course of the Trešnjica River. There is a comfortable parking place near the church, but it is possible to continue via gravel road for about 1.5 km more or park somewhere in between as marked on the map as the second parking place.

The narrow path through the canyon named Đačka Staza ('Pupil's Trail') starts at the marked place on the map and is accessible only by foot. The first section of the path follows the Trešnjica River, then goes up and down again to the Tribuća tributary river bed. Immediately before this first steep and short climb, there is a small plateau near the river from which it is possible to spot soaring gåsgam. Finally, the path goes steeply up to the Danina Stena ('Dana's Cliff') viewpoint, covering some 200m altitude difference.
