It flows along deep and curvy canyon between the mountains of Durmitor and Vojnik. Precisely, the Komarnica continues between the mountains of Vojnik and Treskavac, in an almost uninhabited area (village of Duži) and enters the high Piva Pleateau, where it turns north (almost all of the Komarnica's course is flooded by the reservoir of the Lake Piva), receives from the right outflow of the Piva well and enters the deep Piva canyon.
Canyon of the river Komarnica is a rare canyon. It doesn’t lag behind canyon of the river Tara in its depth wilderness and waterfall of the furious mountain rivers. In Komarnica Canyon you can see one of the most impressive cliffs in Durmitor - 700 m high cliffs of Boljska Greda, which with its S face proudly dominate above the impressive beauty of Komarnica Canyon.

Canyon of the river Komarnica and its most beautiful segment, Nevidio Canyon are places of exquisite beauty. They are located in the central part of Montenegro, on the slopes of Durmitor, on about 50 km from Zabljak to Savnik.What is interesting is that the canyon Nevidio was seen by a fewer number of people than Mount Everest, by which the canyon probably got the name "never seen".
It was conquered 1965 for the first time till that year it "haven't been Canyonseen" which probably is the main reason for its name. It resisted to all attempts of conquering until the first August 1965. when the group of professional mountaineers from Niksic has succeeded in climbing it. That day, for the very first time, human being was presented. It is the last conquered canyon in Europe and still one of the less visited places. Canyon is 3 km long, with number of waterfalls, whirls and passages made by the water. In some places Nevidio cliffs are half meter wide and 400 m high! Canyon is being passed during one day with special equipment (diving-suit, alpinist gear) with well experienced guides.
Nevidio CanyonThis canyon is unreachable to ordinary tourists, because even today, best training and equipment is indispensable in order to climb it. although, approach before the entering into Nevidio presents unique tourist. It is really challenge to come in Nevideo, to go through its first part.
Komarnica is a little neglected natural phenomenon, the canyon of the river Komarnica and its most beautiful part, unreachable Nevidio. It is beside the village of the same name as the river. This is the village from which the most of Durmitorians come.
This canyon is familiar by the fact that it has some animal and plant species that are unique in the world. In Komarnica and its part called Nevideo exist the species which we can find only in narrow Mediterranean zone, along its shore. Canyon Nevidio is the real place for enjoyment and for the adventure. There are no words that can describe that magnificent canyon; therefore we will leave it up to you, to come, and to see its beauty for yourself.
