Canyon Nevidio

Nevidio: The "Unseen"

Harsh, but beautiful landscape of Durmitor massif is adorned by pearl of unusual beauty and still more unusual name – Nevidio (Unseen). It was last discovered canyon in Europe, narrow and deep rift that has been carved by a small river Komarnica between the slopes of Durmitor and Vojnik.

Inaccessible terrain kept the magical beauty from the eyes for a long time.

After several serious but unsuccessful attempts, the Canyon Nevidio was finally conquered in 1965. In an attempt to explore this last untouched part of Europe, members of the mountaineering association ” Javorak” from Niksic, Montenegro, modestly equipped but armed with persistence and determination , entered the canyon, and followed the course of the river which is about 3.5 km, eventually passing through.

Just the name symbolically speaks of canyon: that you cannot see, which has not been seen…

While being the most inaccessible and inhospitable canyon in Europe, Nevidio is now available to all true nature lovers, adventurers and adrenaline addicts, ready to respond to the challenges of this mysterious place.

General information about planning your visit

The Nevidio Canyon is only accessible to visitors as a part of an organized group accompanied by professional guides. This is due to the challenging terrain and the need to ensure safety.

For many visitors, the biggest victory is overcoming their own fears. The canyon’s narrow gorges, cascading waterfalls, and slippery rocks can be daunting, but the guides are are experience and supportive, helping visitors to push their limits and achieve their goals with safety as the top priority. Conquering the Nevidio canyon is a truly unforgettable experience. Visitors will escape with a sense of victory and accomplishment, as well as a deep appreciation for the canyon’s natural beauty.

If you can imagine yourself in this wild and beautiful environment, if you are looking for exactly this from Nature, then steal at least one day of the summer (only in the summer months is possible to conquer the canyon) and contact us – we’ll do the rest to make you adventure safe and unforgettable.

Mysterious interior

Only the truly determined will venture into the mysterious interior of the Nevidio Canyon. This magnificent natural wonder is a testament to the eternal struggle between the ice-cold water of the Komarnica river and the steep stone walls that surround it.

The result of this clash is a canyon of unparelled beauty, stark contrasts and sharp shapes. The river’s steep descent has created a series of cascading waterfalls and sparkling rapids, some of which can only be overcome by jumping into the frigid waters or rappelling down wet and slippery rocks.

While it may be tempting to turn back at some point, the true adventure of the Nevidio Canyon lies within. It takes courage, physical and mental strength, and a wilingess to enter a space where, in the event of an injury, evacuation is only possible by air. And let’s not forget the narrow gorges, up to 450 meters high and only 20 centimeters wide in some places. But all fear and discomfort melt away at the sight of the breathtaking views that await.

This magnificent natures “work of art”, dramatically testifies to the eternal pursuit of ice cold water to pave its way between two giant mountains, and the resistance of the steep and cold stone blocks from the opposing side.
The result of this constant struggle is the canyon of authentic and rare beauty, strong contrast and sharp shape. The steep water drop of Komarnica River caused the emergence of a large number of water cascades and sparkling rapids. Some of them can be overcomed only by jumping into the cold choppy water, which maximum temperature in the summer ranges from 5 to 10 °C or with the help of ropes, lowered down the wet and slippery rocks.

This thrilling experience includes climbing, jumping into swimming pools from several meters high, swimming through narrow cuts, diving, rappelling down cliffs and waterfalls, with or without ropes, and lots of adrenaline. The Nevidio canyon is a place for those who dare to explore its hidden depths. It is a challenge for the body and mind, but it is also a reward for those who are willing to step outside their comfort zone and experience something truly extraordinary. Just remember, once you enter the canyon, you can’t go back, you have to pass through the 3,5 km of the canyon’s length.

PRICELESS !!! We were delighted first time we came here, and second we were overwhelmed again. Encijan is arranged and clean but still wild, without exaggerating - a real fairy tale. Tara, one of the most beautiful river I have ever seen, here is unreal, almost like emerald. People and service were excellent all the time and we felt like home. Just imagine yourself deep in the highest river canyon in Europe , surrounded with untouched nature and peace. One is for sure, this atmosphere and scene you will never forget. Unique place and people and much more 🙂

So great When I decided to go rafting with my boys and friends, I expected beauty, but now I was thrilled. The camp is beautiful. The service is top notch. Great food. A great skipper on rafting. I would recommend it to anyone who loves untouched nature, relaxing by the river and the chirping of birds and a real Tara experience. We will definitely come again.

The most amazing place I have been going to this camp 4 years in a row now with my friends... This is the most amazing place, beautiful camp - like from the fairytale 🙂 Nature is unreal, view and the river also. Food in the camp is the best food we ever had, you can't buy this in any restaurant 🙂 Definitely we will be going again and make visits traditionally once a year at least!

We'll be back Apsolutno bez ikakve zamerke na bilo šta. Domaćin je, pre svega, gospodin. Osoblje je prijatno, sve je laganica, bez ikakve frke i žurbe, što apsolutno i priliči ovakvom mestu. Stvoreno za opuštanje. Hrana je odlična, smeštaj i kućica u kojoj smo bili uredni i čisti. Definitivno se vraćamo, možda čak i jako brzo.

Vraćaćemo se! Prvi put sam u Encijan došla kada sam imala 9 godina. 15 godina kasnije - i dalje se vraćam. Možda je dovoljno reći da se desilo da mi je pao rođendan na vikend kada smo u kampu i da gazda, kada je to saznao, angažovao ljude da mi donesu tortu u kanjon. Milan Šerpas i ekipa učine da svako ko dođe odluči da obavezno dođe još jednom, ili bar preporuči drugima da posete. Smeštaj je udoban i čist, Milan uvek vodi računa da na najbolji način rasporedi goste po njihovim potrebama. Smeštajne jedinice su od 3 do 7 kreveta, uglavnom bungalovi. Toalet i tuševi su odvojeni od jedinica, ali ih ima veliki broj te je čekanje zaista svedeno na minimum. Volela bih da dočaram oduševljenje moje ekipe hranom, ali ću ipak ostaviti da se još neko sam iznenadi. Bitno - raspon i izbor su ogromni, niko neće ostati gladan a i ukoliko iz bilo kojih razloga ne možete da jedete nešto iz tog izbora, oni vam uvek dodatno spreme nešto. A obradovaće vas i krofnama! Mesta za odmor i opuštanje ima i više nego dovoljno - od hamoka, preko ležaljki, stolova sa stolicama na više mesta u kampu. Vaše je samo da nađete šta vam se najviše sviđa. Spust niz reku je sjajan, nekad dinamičniji u zavisnosti od doba godine (jul-avgust je najniža i najmirnija voda; april-maj najviša i najbrža). Skiperi su jako iskusni i fenomenalni momci. Spust kao spust nije opasan što svedoči da sam ja išla sa 9 godina a moja sestra sa 5. Dobija se kompletna oprema i uz slušanje instrukcija koje daje skiper - nema opasnosti ni za najmlađe. Posle večere često bude svirka sa muzikom uživo, kamp ima svoje ozvučenje a vrlo često i gosti nose svoje zvučnike te može i da se proveseli uveče. Upaljena je logorska vatra, ceo kamp je osvetljen malim fenjerima te je ambijent uveče možda i lepši nego tokom dana. Za one koji bi ranije legali i žele kompletan mir preporučujem da traže smeštajne jedinice bliže toaletima a dalje od šanka/kuhinje/centralne vatre. Kamp se nalazi na samom početku dela koji je predviđen za spust i u tu tačku dolaze ljudi i iz ostalih kampova, tako da ne dozvolite da vas razočara što se najduže vozite dok drugi brže stižu. Vaša nagrada je da ujutru ne morate u opremi da se vozite do početne tačke, već samo sednete u čamac i krenuli ste. Šanse su da ćete na par dana zaboraviti obaveze i samo se isključiti od stresa. Dolazila sam sa mnogo ljudi u životu a dobila sam samo jednu zamerku: Što smo došli samo na tri dana?

Nema bolje Već sedmi put smo muž i ja gosti ovog kampa, što govori o tome da li smo zadovoljni. A malo je reći da smo zadovoljni, jer ono što pruža ambijent, osoblje, kvalitet usluge i hrane retko gde se nalazi. Ovo mesto je naš privatni raj, beg od histerične svakodnevice i prilika za mentalni i fizički reset. Besprekoran domaćin, uvek zanimljivi gosti, a svaki sledeći dolazak je nova avantura koja pruža i više nego što očekujemo. Nema greške. Za svaku preporuku! Ivan i Jasmina Miljković, Beograd

Mind-blowing! Not your average, generic camp! With all due respect to other camps, there's no comparison between Encijan and others! Location of the camp is unbeatable, untouched nature all around, beautiful cabins and common place that conform to surrounding nature and a view of magnificent turquoise Tara. The staff couldn't be more polite, they really make you feel taken care of. And the food is.. WOW! And if you have some special requests regarding your nutrition (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, etc.), you need not worry, all your wishes will be met with. August of 2020 was the second time I went to Encijan, first time with my family and this time with friends, so it's safe to say that this camp is perfect for everyone and for every occasion. And I had fun every time 🙂 In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Encijan! ♥
