Europe's Grand Canyon: The Tara River Gorge | Europe To The Maxx

Despite it being known as Europe's Grand Canyon, most people have not heard of the Tara River Gorge yet. At 1,300 meters depth, it's the deepest canyon in Europe, and in the same league as its more famous counterpart in the US. The Tara River Gorge is a paradise for rafting fans and nature enthusiasts. Large parts of the canyon are part of the Durmitor National Park in Montenegro, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Euromaxx reporter Hendrik Welling sets out to explore the Tara River Gorge on the water, the peaks, and dangling in the air on a zip line. It's not only exciting, there are also some stunning views to catch!

Definitley much rather visit the Tara Gorge as supposed to the Grand Canyon. It might not be as big but it is absolutely far more beautiful with all its colour and nature.

Agree!

I have been 2 times on Tara rafting, and it is incredible how low water level is in your case. River is rather wild.

I've been rafting there in early '80s. We had kayaks and a (!) wooden raft as a base. It was amazing! In the winter of '87, while I was in the army, I was in Žabljak for a few weeks skiing. Tons of snow, brutally cold, but wonderful. People were great, the whole area is stunning! Some 20 years ago I was in Montenegro and had to see the area and there was bungee jumping from the bridge, of course, I had to try it! BTW, I met a guy who was the first to jump from that bridge by a parachute! Long time ago, in the era of round parachutes, before even anybody had even an idea about BASE jumping.

Why this guy looks like a bond villain ??

Who do you mean? 😂

I love the shot variety and creativity of the episodes, kudos to your camera crew! I’m very curious about the sound on your show… do you use lav mics for every person on your episodes? Or do you use mostly on camera mikes? I wonder what on camera mikes you use? Sound is great!

[@stillerbinichnicht]

Thank you very much! I'll let the camera operator know. If the situation allows, we use lav mics for each participant. However, this is not always possible, then the directional mic on camera does all the work. But I have no idea if you ask for further technical details...

[@brittacurkovic]

Let us know if you ever come to Vancouver!

An ad-break every 1.5 minutes is too much guys.

Getting to the peak of the canyon would be a challenge; the zip cord I would like to try. Hvala

As far as I know It is the second deepest canyon in Europe(1300 m) and the first deepest is Sulak canyon (1920 meters) in european part of Russian Federation, Dagestan.

[@dweuromaxx]

@Aslanbek Mustafayev Geographically, the terrain in which Sulak Canyon is located, does not belong to continental Europe. However, it is very close to its easternmost border...😊

[@aslanbekmustafayev5540]

@@dweuromaxx what is your statement based on? your channel represents an EU member state, and the EU recognizes this territory as part of Europe. Division of Eurasia into two continents is a purely political and cultural issue.

[@siux94]

Dagestan ain't on Europe continent.

Why not show how the Chinese destroyed over 6 kilometers of the Tara river, making it a polluted and barren wasteland. Just search of images of "Tara river Chinese" or something like that.
