AutoCamp Mlinski Potok

In terms of stuff to do, the choice is between high or low, which applies to heart rates as much as altitude. If you’re a fan of white knuckle rides, try rafting down the Tara canyon, half an hour’s drive away, or zipwiring across the chasm (only 200 feet less deep than the Grand Canyon…), reaching speeds of 30 miles an hour. After that, your next adventure is chucking yourself off a mountain peak: paragliders do it from the top of Savin Kuk, a six-hour hike away, but there's a pleasant cable car ride for cheaters from the ski centre 15 minutes’ drive away. Those after easier times can sail up the peaks on the cable car and potter round the peaks, forests and meadows of the national park, looking out for peregrine falcons, golden eagles, European wildcats and maybe a wolf or two. Alternatively, circular yomps of around 8-10 hours start from Žabjlak up to the heights of Planinica and the park’s very tallest, Bobotov Kuk (the latter is best tackled by experienced climbers only). For walks with views, you can’t beat a trip to the Đjurđjevića bridge, spanning the Tara canyon at a seemingly impossible point, or trails around the nearest of the so-called ‘mountain eyes’, the glacial Black Lake (Crno jezero, 15 minutes' walk). It’s considered a bit chilly for some swimmers, so if you prefer beachy basking times to hikes and fishing, it’s a 20-minute trip to laze on the shores of smaller and warmer Devil’s Lake (Vražje jezero).
