At the foot of Banjska Stena, the most popular observation deck in Serbia, there is Banjsko Vrelo, after which the deck got its name.

But the Vrelo (spring) was flooded when Lake Perucac was built. However, the lookout with its name has preserved the memory of the former "spa" which, due to the constant water temperature, was used all year round by the locals.

For many, Banjska Stena is the most beautiful and most attractive observation deck in our country.

Although there are many others in the Tara National Park, most of them are inaccessible, and out of the five available to visitors, Banjska Stena stands out not only for the beauty of its view, but also for the fact that it is not difficult to reach.

The deck is six kilometers away from Mitrovac, while two pedestrian treks and a macadam road lead to it.

During an hour's walk through beautiful nature, you can get 1,065 meters above sea level - a tour that will be easily covered even by children, as well as those who spend most of their day sitting.

The view with which they will be rewarded from Banjska Stena is immeasurable compared to the effort invested. Perucac, the canyon of the Drina River and the area of Osat, which is located in neighboring Bosnia and Herzegovina, will remain with them for the rest of their lives.
