As we drove up the road out from our camp the road was
very icy, I guess it rained last night then the wet road froze early
this morning.
The
main church was locked but e followed some locals into a small chapel
for a short period of service. By 9am the main church was open but
again a little disappointing. The church did however house the bodies or
parts of the founding father and saint of Serbia who had the church
built and his brother’s (who was also a saint) mother?
Off
John drove very cautiously as the road was very slippery, He drove at
about 40km/hr for the first 2 hours but after we had crested a pass at
1150m altitude in the snow, the road became a little safer. At Ivanjica we
headed south west and over a slightly higher pass of 1350m.
We
took the track into the meanders of Uvac river. It was covered in
snow with only 2 cars ahead of us. We stopped as I was unsure. It is
supposed to be a popular destination but the road was not very good.
John spied a hunter and I went and talked to him with the map, He was
very friendly and had no English language but managed to convey where to
go. He was hunting foxes.
Just
before our destination, we found the car that we had been following. There was a dog box mounted on the back and many tracks (man and dog) leading off into the snow. At the car park and we had lunch with two hungry dogs looking on. The sign
before the car park reminded us it was private property, but another sign by
the walking path said they sold honey and cheese.
Just
as we started our walk two guys with shot-guns and 5 dogs came down the
path.
We found our way to the look out and it was quite a sight below us 4 large corners in the river. We also saw some buzzards flying below us.

We
bought an expensive (A$12) jar of honey back at the house but it tasted
great. I
drove out the snowy track and back on the mainroad .
Another 19km’s on we turned onto a snow covered little white road and found a camp with a view.
