Rivers and Lakes

Serbia is a country blessed with an abundance of rivers and lakes, which provide ideal opportunities for holiday travel and recreation and are also perfect for cooling down during the hot summer months.

The miles-long basins of rivers such as the Sava and the Danube connect Serbia to other European countries, while rapid mountain rivers like the Drina are favourite gathering spots for extreme sports enthusiasts who enjoy rafting - which Serbia is widely known for.
Those who seek a more tranquil holiday can visit one of Serbia’s many lakes. Apart from enjoying clean water and maintained beaches, visitors can also take part in the many sports on offer at the lakes or enjoy a memorable night out.
Many rivers and lakes are rich in fish, which makes them particularly appealing during the fishing season. Depending on where you’re staying and fishing prowess you can try your hand at catching carp, trout, catfish, crucian carp and many more species of freshwater fish.
Experience the unique environment and wonderful atmosphere of the water and ensure you pay a visit to one of Serbia’s many rivers or lakes.
