I arrived by bus, lulled by winding roads and pine-scented breezes, and stepped off into a scene that felt straight out of a Montenegrin fairytale. The Đurđevića Tara Bridge arches gracefully over one of Europe’s deepest canyons, offering views that make your heart pause mid-beat.
Before crossing, I munched on wild plums picked fresh from the roadside—tart, sun-warmed, and unexpectedly poetic. It felt like nature’s welcome snack.
The bridge itself is a marvel of 1940s engineering, but it’s the surrounding drama that steals the show: the turquoise Tara River slicing through cliffs, zipliners zipping overhead like dragonflies, and the occasional hawker selling honey or rakija with a wink.
🚌 Bus access is smooth, though timing matters—early morning or late afternoon gives you golden light and fewer crowds. And if you’re botanically inclined, keep an eye out for rose hips and wild herbs along the trails.
