Ria
Czech Republic
A remote village on the banks of one of Europe’s few wild rivers, the beautiful Neretva. It is being threatened by dam construction, so visit before it’s too late. I was there for a week for research and the locals stole my heart - if you can manage a few words of Bosnian and a lot of rakia, you will have an incredible time :D The area upstream is declared safe from mines, so you can enjoy hiking the diverse landscape. Day and multiday hikes are all possible. No public transportation, you will have to hitchhike which is easy and safe (with usual precautions taken). Very few supplies and no atm, so bring from a bigger town.
