I was once again delighted with the canyon, I was returning to Serbia through the Moreca Canyon. No crowds, a rest for the soul

Место съемки понравилось. Пусть это просто парковка, вокруг которой ничего особенного, но зато виды на реку здесь классные. Я прямо насладился. Сама река почти 100 км в длину. 99,5 км согласно известной сетевой энциклопедии. Проходит Через Подгорицу. Если в горных массивах она быстрая, то в городе спокойная и тихая в этом засушливое время года. Пробегая здесь, впоследствии река впадает в Скадарское озеро.
