INTERESTING THINGS ABOUT UVAC
“Uvac” was placed under protection in order to preserve the griffon vulture – a rare species of vulture eagle, impressive in size, wingspan and up to 3 m, which makes it a powerful fighter whose flight was researched by aeronautical scientists and used in aircraft construction. The griffon vulture is a bird that does not kill, does not hunt prey, does not look for a victim. Its role in the food chain in the ecosystem is unique and irreplaceable – its only food is dead animals, which prevents the spread of infections and thus makes “natural recycling”. That is why this ecologist is appreciated all over the world.
Uvac Canyon is world famous for its meanders, which wind for miles incised by the former Uvac River and now Uvac Lake. On both sides of the canyon there are several lookouts overlooking the meanders.
The area around the canyon is mostly rocky and overgrown with low grass, covered in places with pastures and forests. On the right bank there are several smaller villages of the broken type in the immediate vicinity of the meander, as well as the hill Molitva, one of the lookouts with the best view. The second lookout is located near the Girl’s Rock, a high rock formation about which there is a legend that a girl threw herself from it because of unrequited love.
