Banja. In September 2017, as the first greenway in Serbia, it received the 2nd prize at the 8th European Greenways Awards. A ridable miniature railway was organized in 2018. It goes through the gorge, using the revitalized path. The route is long and connects Užice and Staparska Banja. The thermal springs were used in Roman times. A project on revitalizing the spa and its surroundings was drafted in 2018. Since the summer of 2020, the kayaking on the river is allowed.
