Pet reka
istog imena
Starovlašku visoravan preseca
čak pet reka koje u imenu sadrže
reč Rzav. Pored naziva, zajedničko
im je da im je voda čista i pitka duž
čitavog toka. Naziv Rzav u svom
poreklu krije značenje „bela reka“,
a svakako asocira na bistru, hladnu
vodu. Najhladniji je Beli Rzav koji
protiče senovitim kanjonom kroz
bespuća Tare. Crni Rzav veselo
skakuće po tamnom kamenju na
razmeđi Murtenice i Čigote, a u
velikom broju meandara upija zra-
ke sunca koji izdašno obasjavaju
planinu Zlatibor. Veliki Rzav se
često krije po kanjonima. U donjem
toku, nekoliko kilometara pre ušća
u Moravicu, Velikom Rzavu se pri-
ključuje njegov mali imenjak – Mali
Rzav.

Five rivers of
the same name
Starovlaška Plateau is intersect-
ed by five rivers with names that all
contain the word Rzav. Apart from
a name, they all also share the same
clean and drinkable water along
their entire course. The name Rzav
in the local language is associated
with clear, cold water. The cold-
est is the Beli (White) Rzav, which
flows through the shady canyon of
the roadless Tara. The Crni (Black)
Rzav leaps over the dark rocks at the
intersection of mounts Murtenica
and Čigota, then through many me-
anders absorbs the rays of the sun
that profusely illuminates Mount
Zlatibor. The Veliki (Great) Rzav is
often hidden in canyons. In its lower
course, a few kilometers before the
mouth of the river Moravica, the
Veliki Rzav joins its little namesake
– the Mali (Little)
Rzav.
Topla isceliteljska
voda u Visokoj
Reka Veliki Rzav napušta kanjon kod sela Visoka
i taj deo je najzanimljiviji na čitavom njenom toku.
Kanjon je teško pristupačan, ali su meštani napravili
stazu dugu dvesta metara do mesta na kome izvire
topla voda. Sredinom prošlog veka ozidali su dva
bazena na samom izvoru. Bazeni nisu veliki, ali su
atrakcija, jer su cement i gvožđe na leđima nošeni
rekom. Topla voda ulazi kroz peščanu podlogu baze-
na i ne meša se s rečnom vodom.
Prepričava se legenda da je nekada davno jedan
stanovnik Visoke ostavio bolesno ždrebe u reci, jer
nije imao srca da ga ubije. Ždrebe se u lekovitoj to-
ploj vodi ubrzo oporavilo pa su i meštani počeli da
posećuju izvore u kanjonu. Izvesno je da se banjska
voda koristi od davnina.

Warm healing
waters of VisokA
The Veliki Rzav emerges from the canyon near
the village of Visoka and this is the most interesting
part of its entire course. The canyon is barely accessi-
ble, but locals have made a track two hundred metres
long leading to hot water springs. In the middle of the
last century, they built two swimming pools directly
on top of this spring. The pools are not large, but they
are an attraction because they carried the cement and
iron through the river on their backs. The hot water
enters through the sandy surface of the pool and does
not mix with the river water.
Local legand has it that, once upon a time, a
resident of Visoka left a sick foal in the river because
he didn’t have the heart to kill it. The foal quickly
recovered in the healing warm waters, prompting the
locals to begin visiting the canyon springs. There is
no doubt that these spa waters have been used since
ancient times.
