If you ask for local residents or tourists, what canyon they consider the most beautiful and interesting in this little mining country, without a doubt, the absolute majority will call, famous all over the world, some will remember the canyons along the rivers and, but only the real connoisseurs of the natural beauty of Montenegro will say that one of the most beautiful is canyon River Beer in . The flows of the mountain river beer go through the Western regions of Montenegro, which are devastated high mountains and magnificent forests, forming breathtaking landscapes.
The beer river canyon is located in the northwestern part of Montenegro, on the territory of the Piva Plateau in the municipality of Plug. Not far from the canyon is a stunning, with its many natural attractions, magnificent nature and clean mountain air.
The length of the beer river canyon is about 34 kilometers, And his depth reaches 1200 meters. Canyon sometimes crosses highly located pedestrian, automotive and railway bridges that give him a special charm.
The beer river flows first through the territory of Montenegro, then enters Bosnia and Herzegovina, where merging with, forms the Drena River. The origins of the beer river are on the slopes majestic Mountain Sinnyatz, not far from, whose interior is decorated with ivory and very old frescoes. Thus, nature lovers can see not only natural beauty, but also ancient sights. The influx of beings is the River Komarnica, originating in the mountains of Xinyaevin.
LifeHack:Due to the fact that this influx has a total length of about 86 km, exceeding the length of the beer canyon directly, the beer itself is often called the "river with the 5th names". It may include the names of the water flow rivers with a length of almost 120 kilometers: Tushina, Bukov, Komarninnitsa, Biela and beer.
The beer river itself flows along the beer plateau, consisting of the mountains of Tioche, Voloyyak, Maglich and Pivsk planned, and the total river Waterguide Square - almost 1270 km². The energy power of the beer river is successfully used to work hydroelectric power plants.
In 1975. Yugoslav blocked the vergeled canyon ( 220 meters!) Mratin dam not far from the settlement Shchapan field, which led to the creation of the reservoir - which became the second largest lake in Montenegro. Turquoise water lake beer depth of which reaches 200 metersAlready from afar striking and causes true delight and pleasure on each observation platform. In addition, "Lake Beer", as a river, with the name, reminiscent of a black beverage, are objects for numerous innocuous jokes like tourists and local residents. .jpg)

The beer river canyon is one of the most picturesque natural places in Montenegro, which explains his vast popularity among tourists from all over the world at any time of the year.
All beautiful rivers that I have ever seen in life, far from beings. It is located on the border of Montenegro and Bosnia, making this incomplete edge even more attractive and wild due to its emerald color and crystal purity. Beautiful, romantic, sometimes calm, and at certain clock stormy, as if trying to escape from someone. I am every summer here, I already had several dozen shots of this river in for different years. It's time to show them and compare changes.
I saw this wooden bridge for the first time in June 2010, then I came to the north to rest for two days. We arrived in the pchapan field on the rafting, familiar Chernogorets said - walk along the river around the village / field and come to the bridge, it is very beautiful there. He did not deceive.
The next summer in 2011, on a familiar path led my sister with her husband, I just a few days, as I moved to live in Montenegro, and they first traveled with me around the country. As you can see, the bridge has already partially collapsed.
We will be transferred for another two years - July 2013. I already brought here a cousin Lero. As you can see, the bridge over the river managed to patch :)
And now let's see by the changes. And notice, on this photo of the river Beer is calm.
Photo with dv. The sister looks different. The bridge is again in working condition and the river rages and has a different color.
Why is this happening? The first reason is the dam. If you drive in the direction of the city, you will cross the dam, that when it includes - the river from calm turns into a noisy. Why is another color? I think the absence of the sun is guilty here, in the photo on the right - even evening, the sky is gray. And on the left - earlier morning and the sun shone. Although both pictures are made from one bridge, and the view is radically different.
The beer river, like Tara or Morach, flows in a beautiful canyon. New 1975 g back was built on the River HPP, beer lost part of the canyon, we will never see her former.
Cross the dam and get into the tunnel. In this area of \u200b\u200btheir 52 pieces ...
On both sides of the river looks different. Most of the river takes place in the canyon, and in general its length is 34 km.
The river originates on the slope of the mountain of the Sinnyatsy. It takes place in Montenegro, and on the border with Bosnia and Herzegovina merges with the river Tara and forms the Rerina River. This place can be seen in the village. Shchapan field, here on the edge of the hill is a restaurant and houses for tourists. This place is located in the corner itself on the map , on the border of 2 countries and in the confluence of 3 rivers.
It belongs to the territory of Chernogorz, which the very first in the country began to offer rafting, now he has huge possessions, many professional workers. He is the only one in the country has the right to take exams at the steering, sometimes they are bothering and leaving for the free swimming former students and workers. If you are collected independently in those edges for the sake of a descent of a container, I advise you to apply for to Tara-Tour agency. They are safe, inexpensive, there is an opportunity to stay at night, eat, see the surrounding beauty. About rafting on Tara I somehow.
In the photo you already see the last meters of the beer river, she turns into Drin at the turn around the river.
On all over the beer is not shipping.
The catchment pool covers 1270 square meters. kilometers.
I like to admire the emerald rivers in Montenegro, both near and from the aircraft porthole. Beauty is just indescribable.
In this area from the rivers you can safely drink water, without fear of mischievous with the sore stomach.
And I will show a little bit from the other color, that evening it was a gentle blue shade.
The flow was very fast. We sat down with my sister on the bridge and just looked at her for a very long time, listened to the birds, looked at the waves.

Cork on the road in the park Durmitor The Lake Beer is located in the north of Montenegro. This is a man-made lake, i.e. It appeared with human intervention when they decided to build a dam on the beer river. Located the lake near the city. When you see it for the first time, you might think that this is all the river, it is long and narrow. In fact, it is, the length is 45 km, and I will rate the width of the lake on my pictures. I was there in July, rode on this engine boat. Feeling indescribable: from beauty around, from canyon, turquoise water, claropes, bridges, and in the end I was swimming in fresh water, which was not done for two years.
The maximum depth of the peer lake is 188 m. Height above sea level - 675 m. In 3 kilometers from the lake there is another place where it is necessary to visit - the Piva Monastery of the XVI century. Once he stood on the very bank of the river, and the people who built him were not even suspected which amazing fate it expects him. When erecting the dam, the main church of the monastery, who fell into the flood zone, was moved to a new place and reconstructed. It was a unique event in which the best restorers of the world took part. The ancient laying of stone walls still keeps the memory of those distant events. During the transfer, more than 1000 sq.m were filmed and again. frescoes.
In the meantime, I'll show beautiful road To the lake, we drove from the village. Shchapan field before town. Mother Nature tried to glory!
See how the road opposite is carved in the mountain. I am already silent about tunnels, which in the north has many, about 60.
It seems to me that James Cameron could safely remove the "Avatar" in Montenegro! Sometimes the landscapes are unreal.
When I asked me the younger cousin "Why didn't you woke me on the road to see this beauty? Already hurt!" I answered her that at night I could not see anything else - not a single lantern here, but only cliffs and mountain tunnels are visible. And she for her 18 years old visited many dozens of countries around the world, but after a walk around the Piva lake truly realized how beautiful Montenegro is, how beautiful landscapes are hidden behind each turn.
And here is the 220-Timera dam of Mratin, which blown up the canyon of the once stormy beer river, it was built in the period 1967-1975, and is the biggest in Europe. Based on its wall, the thickness reaches more than 30 m, and 820 thousand cubic meters of concrete and 5 million kg of steel are built into the dam in the dam. Externally impressive when you stand on it and look at both sides. But I heard that 28 people died during construction (I can make a mistake in the figure). It seems that prisoners came to black work.
For the serving of the dam on one of the shores of the lake, the town of Chernogorsk energy companies was built - Plurate. Although new town It is quite modern, the first settlement with the same name appeared in these edges in the XV century. Especially beautiful night plug with bright lights when you look at it from above.
The beer lake with has a greenish blue color, and is one of the most beautiful places in the region. On it, you can swim throughout the year, the swimming temperature in the summer period comes to 22 degrees, saw as local massively sunbathe on the shore in Plug.
It was all a story about the places that we passed while we went to the Plow. But we sat on the boat and floated with the breeze!
Still, Montenegro is the country of mountains, even if not the highest in the world, but the incredibly beautiful and varied.
Here on the left photograph you can see the gorge, it seems small, and look below, which miracle boat-raft piled there. It turned out that people from my boat are familiar with them, we landed to them, and some of them - to us, so that the pony could ride our motor with a breeze on canyons. Plus there was a birthday boy. In general, a good place to celebrate))
They almost all drinking, almost everything is eaten. Maybe therefore fishing?))
Here, and my sister moved to the stern and began to look into the water, search for claropes.
Canyon is really amazing, I can not even believe that the boat will pass in this gorge between the mountains. And then once around the turn you see the normal width of the lake and relax))
And here is civilization - suspended bridge!
From where and where you can walk here - it is unclear.
On the other side of the bridge.
What is the transparency of water! Although drinking with palms!
Close - 3 ducks were frightened and felt that there were urine.
Here they are
Upon return, we were together early in the water, and all the Montenegrins of Stroxy - for them in 19-00 without sunlight it was already cold. Lack! In general, I advise everyone to rent a boat with a boatman, and maybe + with a picnic on the shore and get a lot of pleasure as me. On this, my beautiful photo report will finish, I will show only where the beer lake is located on the country's map - on the left above the blue long stain.
So, from Malaya Asia, we return again to the Balkans, in beautiful country Montenegro. This two subsequent post will be about the town in the north of the country, where the beer river flows, which is especially funny, flowing into the Tar River.
Now in the upper course of the beer river is a reservoir called the lake beer. For me - beauty is extraordinary, but local residents It is said that before, before the construction of the dam was much more beautiful. The beer dam with a height of 220 meters began to build in 1967 and finished in 1975. The city of Pluzhina, the old flooded, as well as many small villages was replaced. But about this in the following posts. In the meantime, admire the man-made beauties that destroyed the beauty of natural.
Bridge over beer. Simple, like two kopecks. No frills and jewelry.
Piva lake.
Some kind of flooded ridge is visible under water. Perhaps something artificial, for example, old Most, I do not know for sure.
Influx.
A huge reservoir of the purest mountain water.
Drove up to the dam itself. Crossroads of tunnels. By the way, the tunnels in the area are a huge set, I do not remember exactly how much, but almost a hundred.
Pay attention to the rock. Looks like a dirty spring glacier. Here is a photo inside the tunnel.
