The Tourist Organization of Bar held a promotional canyoning tour through Medjurec, the most attractive canyon on the Montenegrin coast, as part of its campaign to promote and develop this new tourist product in the mountain hinterland.
Medjurec, a canyon in the hinterland of Mrkojevic, which without any exaggeration possesses spectacular beauty, was visited by a group in which, along with media representatives and MORT, was the president of Bar Dusan Raicevic, members of the mountaineering club "Rumija" from Bar and TO Bar.

Under the leadership of the guide Vlado Radevic from Kotor and Djuro Martinovic from Cetinje, the group at the entrance to Medjurec had to descent with a rope down a 32-meter vertical line, and then, as in the movies, they jumped into pools, sledding down a vertical-so-called absale, descending in the "rollercoasters" of canyons, down the road a little less than two kilometers long.
"Medjurec is exceptionally interesting and beautiful because it has that mix of jumps and water slides, and it differs from all the other canyons, not just on the coast. It is relatively unknown, visits to the canyon started in the last two or three years more often, but, for this reason, the lovers of the canyoning are very appreciated worldwide," Radevic said.

Last month, TO Bar prepared the first official canyoning tour around the canyon of the river Bunar above Old Bar. Director of TO Bar, Emil Kukalj, pointed out that this was also an opportunity to promote the canyon, this time Medjurec, and inspects the needs of infrastructure equipment that will not undermine the almost intact natural environment but also develop the skills and knowledge of people who will be engaged in canyoning.

"We also hope that some of our agencies will soon be specialized in canyoning. We have one such jewel for just half an hour from Bar, and that needs to be exploited, and the fact is that these adrenaline tours have more and more interest and attract a new clientele, primarily from Western Europe, i.e. wealthy guests because such travels are not cheap. We will support the development of such tourist products that extend the season and bring new categories of guests," Kukalj said.
