On the second Saturday in July, the Drina Regatta is traditionally held in Ljubovija. This is the longest regatta in Europe (40 km), which is held in the most beautiful part of the Drina valley and which will take place on July 13 this year.

The Drina Regatta in Ljubovija has a nearly two-decade tradition, and in addition to the race down one of the cleaners rivers in Europe, the event also includes various entertainment, cultural and sports features.

Also, more and more participants want to stay at the village homes and enjoy the nature and the healthy food offered by hosts in Azbukovica. These are the village homes along the Drina (Uzovnica, Crnca, Lonjin, Vrhpolje, Tresnjica, Drlace) and in the mountain villages (Gornje Koslje).

– This year, we prepared a truly attractive cultural, entertainment and sports program, featuring football, basketball, table tennis and chess tournaments, performances by folk ensembles and theater plays for children and adults. The central place in the entertainment program belongs to live performances by Riblja Corba, Zeljko Joksimovic and Stevan Andjelkovic. Entrance is free for all events, as well as the boats. The weather forecast for July 13 is very favorable, so we hope to have a record number of visitors – says the acting director of the Tourism Organization, Jelena Tesic.


When it comes to accommodation capacities, the Municipality of Ljubovija has been recording a progress in the past period, says the TO Ljubovija.

In addition to the mentioned village tourism facilities, which are categorized and whose number is increasing, there's also Hotel Drinska Lasta, the Vrhpolje ethno-village, the Bok ethno-village and other tourism facilities. Also, the construction of hotels and traditional small wooden houses is currently in progress in the village of Vrhpolje.

In 2014, the Drina Regatta was pronounced the best tourism event in Serbia at the Chamber of Commerce of Serbia.
