Perućac, a picturesque village in Western Serbia, is a notable tourist destination, primarily known for the iconic 'House on the Drina' (Kućica na Drini) and the unique Vrelo River, one of the shortest rivers globally, culminating in a beautiful waterfall. Located at the entrance to Tara National Park and alongside Lake Perućac, it offers a blend of natural beauty and cultural interest. Accessibility is good, typically by car, and it's often included in guided tours of Western Serbia, though solo visits are easily manageable for those with their own transport. The area is enjoyable year-round, with summer being ideal for river activities on Lake Perućac and hiking in Tara, while winter offers a serene, snow-covered landscape. Costs are generally low; viewing the Drina House is free, and the Vrelo River has a small entrance fee, with accommodation and dining being affordable. A typical visit to the main attractions (Drina House, Vrelo River) can take 2-4 hours, often extended if incorporating boat trips on the lake or as part of a longer exploration of Tara National Park. It's an excellent base for exploring the wider Drina River region and the stunning Tara National Park.
