Experience Nevidio Canyoning in Niksic, Niksic Municipality
Discover the dramatic Nevidio canyon, the last canyon conquered in Europe in 1965, on an unforgettable day trip you can book through Varoom in Niksic, Niksic Municipality; you’ll move through a cascade of waterfalls and razor‑thin passages carved between towering rock walls that start at about 60 meters deep, with stretches where you must squeeze under or even through the stone as the canyon narrows to less than half a meter at the bottom - the canyon runs roughly 4 km along the River Komarnica, whose source lies at the foot of the southern slopes of Durmitor precisely in Dobr Dol, while the Little Komarnica joins the river Pridvorica near Duži to form the Grand Komarnica that continues through the gorge toward the artificial Piva lake, created by the construction of the Mrtinje hydroelectric power plant; the expedition plan is straightforward and family‑friendly: meet between 09:00 and 09:30, check equipment and depart at 09:30–10:15, return to camp between 15:00 and 16:00, with lunch at 16:00.
