The Bajina Basta Hydroelectric Power Plant in Srebrenica this summer, according to the Srebrenica Tourist Board, expects more visitors than in previous years. The reasons for that, they say, are certainly the end of the coronavirus pandemic and the rise in fuel prices and other costs, so many will not go to sea.
Lake Perucac stretches through the canyon of the Drina River, all the way to Visegrad, about 50 kilometers long, and the whole is navigable. In the hot summer days, many residents of Srebrenica increasingly visit this lake, the specially arranged beach Ostrika.
Numerous landowners have also built cottages where they stay in the summer. The tourist attraction of this lake is the traditional “Pancic Regatta”, which gathers a large number of visitors every summer.
“A large number of tourists announced their arrival on this lake. They have already booked several cottages for accommodation and a boat ride through the beautiful canyon from Ostrika to Zepa – says Jasmir Beganovic, owner of a renovated restaurant in this destination.
Beganovic adds that it is also possible to sail by boat to Zepa. The ride lasts about four hours, depending on how long tourists want to stay in Zepa and the beautiful canyons, where they have the opportunity to watch chamois descend the canyon slopes to the lake and drink water.
In addition to swimming and relaxing in a beautiful, natural and peaceful environment, tourists are able to go fishing and hiking on beautifully landscaped trails from Klotjevac to Bijele Vode.
By asphalting the road from Kragljivoda to Ostrika, in the length of ten kilometers, the people of Srebrenica started to rebuild their weekend houses destroyed in the war, and there are a lot of those who bought land and built new vacation facilities. There are a lot of lovers of this lake from the Federation of BiH who are buying plots and building cottages along the coast as well, Avaz writes.
