Charming lady of the Drina river - Ljubovija

Ljubovija- Paw traveller When we left for Ljubovia, I didn't expect anything, so maybe that's why I got so much. I don't know how to describe what delighted me so much in this part of Serbia, but the excitement was certainly awakened by the river Drina. Ljubovija is beautiful , so ordinary but warmhearted and friendly because of the people who live there. Just like that, as soon as you step into the streets of Ljubovija, you feel welcome as if you are a part of this small town, almost like a local. Ljubovija is for those travelers who enjoy being by the water , for those who like an active vacation with fishing or rafting, but still like to have access to urban facilities. For true adventurers who push the boundaries, nearby is the canyon of the river Trešnjica , a natural asset of exceptional importance, where you can see griffon vultures , which, apart from here, are only living in the canyon of Uvac. The second most important inhabitant of this canyon is the fish Huchen

'Shall we get one? Tastes of Serbia - Rakia

Rakia among Serbs as a cure for death! Although I'm not fond of "rotten fruit" as I usually call such types of fruit derivatives, I can't resist to good homemade rakia. I prefer quince, apricot, or peach, but good old plum rakia, for which Serbia is most famous , is not far behind on my top list. Rakia is a cult drink in Serbia. It may seem to someone who is not from the Balkans that we are exaggerating, but for Serbs, rakia is like some surreal magical creation , an unsurpassed medicament with no equal. Paw traveller In addition to drinking, we also use it abundantly for healing rituals from various ailments. For example, if you have a sore throat, make a rakia poultice, if you cough, rub rakia on your chest, if you have a fever, socks soaked in rakia are the right thing, and it is understood that it also cures rheumatism and arthritis, and who knows what else... And, we believe that you can also use it instead of lotion. If you put aside the fact that you smell like

At a walking pace through the Srem district - Slankamenački Vinogradi

  A full-day excursion along the untrodden paths of the Srem district, why not? Slankamenački Vinogradi- Paw traveller For all adventurers with or without a pet, who like to explore and visit places that are off the tourist maps, a tour of the hills and fields on the slopes of Fruška Gora can be a real pleasure and an opportunity to completely surrender to nature. Hidden paths above the village of Slankamenački Vinogradi that wind between vineyards and orchards offer the possibility of easy and relaxing walks, after which you will feel completely relieved from all the stress and bustle of city life for a long time. Slankamenački Vinogradi is a village with about 250 inhabitants, mostly Slovaks. What is interesting is that the name of the village itself was not given because of the proximity of the village's old and new Slankamen, but the village got it from the "slankamenka" grape variety. Slankamenka or Plovdina is an old Balkan grape variety that is most often used fo

A trip or a holiday with a dog, the question is now?!

  From the first paw, tips for traveling with a dog So, how do you decide if it's always a good idea to take your furry friend with you, or if it's sometimes better to leave them at home? Paw traveller All those who have traveled with a dog will agree with the two of us that traveling with a dog is like traveling with children . But those who are just planning to do it should know what challenges await them and what they should keep in mind before embarking on such an adventure. Wof, yes... first comes packing before the trip, which involves serious planning, and you can also make a list so you don't forget anything. Put on the list our cribs, bowls for water and food, clothes if we are traveling to a colder destination, a small dog pharmacy, a certain amount of food that we are used to, and of course toys that we may not play with because a thousand interesting things are waiting for us... but still let them be there because they create a sense of familiarity. Wof, let'
