Well this was definitely BIG surprise.It wasn't prepared to visit this shortest river in the Europe because I never heard of this river.It`s accidentally happened and I am so glad it did happens.Well the Vrelo river or RekaGodina is somethings so unique.In half and hour you can see the river from start to the end , the length of the river is 365mts and that is way it`s had second name One Year River. But its magnificent.I went to see the place where river start and I was blessed with the rich river flow which create beautiful waterfalls.I was able to take great pictures.And its slowly flowing through little village to end up going into big river Drina. Unfortunately there isn't any way to see this waterfall when the rivers join except from river Drina. On the end there are nice restaurants seat nicely with the sound of gurgling stream .I cannot express my happiness with this place.

When you walk by this river, time stop. You only hear watter and nothing else. One walk and life is pretty ;)

I don't recommend going there specifically, but if it's on your way, make a short stop for half an hour and look around a bit. There is not much to see there. On one side is a large restaurant and on the other side of the road a path leads to a small waterfall.

Nice river, but the locals really do not care about it....diry, bad maintained,.....
We were really disappointed.
There are two restaurants, the one on the other side seems better, but still far away from normal. Trout seems the reasonable choice.

The river “Vrelo” is as beautiful as it is short. It is part of the National Park Tara, one of the beautiful Nature Parks in Serbia. It is hard to tell which is the most beautiful. I have visited the Nature Park Stara Planina (Old Mountains in the neighbourhood of Knjaževac and Pirot), the Special Nature Reserve of Uvac (in the neighbourhood of Sjenica, Nova Varoš and Kokin Brod), Zlatibor Mountain (near Čajetina), National Park Kopaonik (south from Kraljevo) and Tara. All are very beautiful with astonishing views and panoramas. All I want to give at least a 9 and close to a 10 for their nature. Also it is good to watch the number of good accommodations (hotels, pensions and private) are growing and also other facilities like roads and good paths for walking, hiking and biking.
I always wonder why rivers like the Drina, Lim and Uvac can have such a green shining at several places. The river Vrelo has a very beautiful waterfall into the Drina. The restaurant “Vrelo“ is situated just a few meters away and partly right above the waterfall of the river Vrelo into the Drina. To sit there and to see and know about the nature around is astonishing.
Sometimes you only want to sit down, to relax and to enjoy the nature. But when you are in a restaurant, you have to take some food and drinks. This is not a shame because the food is excellent at his restaurant. Maybe the taste is even better because of the environment, the freshness of air and the joy the nature and the panorama are spreading.
When you are coming to Tara not only visit the river and the restaurant Vrelo but visit also the Park. There are a group of mountain peaks who will give you some astonishing panoramas and views, also on the river Drina. Also there are some picturesque gorges and canyons. Somewhat further away in the District of Zlatibor you also have the beautiful canyons of the Rivers Mileševke and Lim.
We have travelled around and have been only a short period in Tara, because we wanted to see also other National and Nature Parks in Zlatibor and Raška and to visit some cultural monuments. But it is certain you can have a very beautiful holiday in Tara with the lake of Perucac, the mountains and gorges, the canyons of rivers, the food and drinks and if you like this, the folklore and old customs. Also you can have a boat trip on the Drina. But what program you take, don’t forget to have a stop at the restaurant at Vrelo Waterfall. It is hard to find a restaurant which doesn’t offer a good taste. But at this place, the combination of nature, excellent food and panorama is unique. Taste a smoked or fresh trout in combination with a fresh salad and one of the national drinks of Serbia.

This is the shortest river in Europe, only 365 meters long. The village has a water supply facility at its source. Just below is a small waterfall complex. After that is a large pond and a very old water mill. Then one pedestrian and one road bridge. The river ends with a beautiful waterfall and disappears into the river Drina. Just above the waterfall is a restaurant, and a little more to the right is an old hydroelectric power plant and the cemetery from 14th century.
Very interesting and beautiful place, do not miss it. The only problem is that the most beautiful view of the waterfall is only possible from the Drina River. But if you are skilled enough, you can go down to the bottom of the waterfall on the right side of the restaurant. Just be careful, it's very slippery.
I hope these comment will help you. If you need any help regarding this or any other attractions in Serbia (location information, transportation, guidance, organizing private tours, etc.) feel free to contact me because I do private tours all over Serbia.
Enjoy Serbia!
