Drina river

Drina river is one of the most beautiful rivers in Serbia, in ancient times it was called Drinos and people named it Zelenika or Zelenka (Green in Serbian) after colour of its water.

It meanders through picturesque mountainous and plain regions of Bosnia and Serbia. On its banks are settled broad ravines with cultivable and inhabited fields as well as steep banks of rugged and canyon type overgrown with willows, poplars and short bushes. The most beautiful and the biggest canyon in its course Drina engraved from Zepa to Klotijevac, 24km long. Length of its course from Scepan polje, where it originates from Piva and Tara to its mouth in Sava is 340 km. The difference in height above sea level between its spring and mouth is 358 km. Width of its course varies from 100-200m in Perucac and Zvornik to 15m in place called Tijesno (Narrow).

Before the dams for 3 artificial lakes were built, the Drina was a wild river and today it gives us the opportunity to enjoy all its beauties.

Kadinjaca WW2 memorial site

 

The memorial complex is dedicated to the Partisan fighters of Workers' Battalion of Uzice who were killed on 29th November 1941 in the battles at Kadinjaca. At the beginning of World War 2, the Republic of Uzice was the first liberated territory in Europe and served as a haven for the Supreme Staff of the Partisan units headed by Josip Broz Tito. The Partisans were defending the Republic of Uzice to secure the retreat of the Supreme Staff from Uzice towards Sandzak. This legendary Partisan feat served as the basis for the 1974 film Uzicka republika directed by Zika Mitrovic (b. 1921, d. 2005). The elaborate architectural-sculptural design of the monument covering 15 ha was created between 1952 and 1979. The first memorial for this legendary heroic event dates to 1952 when an ossuary with the remains of the fighters killed in action and a monument shaped as a four-sided pyramid were erected, based on the designs by sculptor Stevan Zivanovic. The pyramid measures 11m in height and contains engraved stanzas from "Kadinjaca", a poem by Uzice poet Slavko Vukosavljevic (b. 1927, d. 2004).
