This morning we were joined by 6 defenders of Bulgarian rivers. The threats = a highway through Kresna Gorge, small HPP and pollution. The fighters = passionate and clever web and we’re stoked to be here to help! #BRT4 #bulgaria #strumavalley #balkanriverdefence #nodams

The beer flowing from the keg was like that flowing from the Tara - and equally as cold! As always, Kayak Fest Tara delivered, uniting kayakers from 16 countries! Thanks for an awesome weekend, GRAB ethno village and camp! #BalkanRiverDefence #BRT4 #piva #tara #drina
