A category I special nature reserve in south-western Serbia, taking in the valley and gorge of the Uvac River. It is famous for its winding meanders cut into limestone, whose photographs have become an emblem of Serbia's nature. The valley is 200 to 300 metres deep and the meanders rise about 100 metres. There are 12 viewpoints, the best known being Molitva, Veliki Krš and Veliki Vrh, from which the most famous pictures of the gorge are taken. The reserve is known for its successful griffon vulture conservation project, and flocks circle above the cliffs. Its karst land holds many caves, including the Ušak cave system, of which more than six kilometres have been explored, one of the largest in Serbia. Reserve fees, boat trips and the cave visit are paid locally; boats leave from the Nova Varoš side and usually need advance booking and a minimum number of passengers, per visitor guides. You need a car to get here, and the walk to the Molitva viewpoint is short but steep, so wear proper shoes.
