You shouls maybe know that:
1.Hail never falls into Prerucica river basin- Legend says that once upon a time three brothers lived there and were resolved to plow around the village in order to stop the hail, two brothers agreed while the third one didn’t.
The three brothers represent the three peaks of the mountain Komovi. Beneath the two peaks, that are facing Perucica river, hail never falls which can’t be said for the third one.
2. Perućica river got its name after St. Sava who, when arrived from Podgorica to the river bank, asked to have his shirts washed. His servants did as requested and, when done, the Saint asked them which soap they used that made his shirts so clean. They told him that they only washed it in clean water of the river, and this is how the river got its name> Prerucica (which means ‘washing’ by v. prati ).
In the old times there was a cult in the village to punish fiercely those who would dare to throw trash into the river, or God forbid the dead animal.
3. Village local women were washing their clothes in the river as well as linens and wool from which they knitted and woven the clothing. The river with its rapids was theirs natural washing machine.
4. The river valley was the leading caravan route from Skopje--Pec to Podgorica- Dubrovnik.
5. The river served as a fairway for the villagers to get firewood from the mountains into to the village.
6. That along its watercourse a path and railroad Belgrade to Bar was projected in the same time being known as the shortest and safest.
