Đurđevića Tara Bridge — Attraction in undefined

Đurđevića Bridge is one of the most impressive landmarks in Montenegro, beautifully blending into the majestic Tara River Canyon. The bridge itself is awe-inspiring, both in size and historical significance, having been partially destroyed during World War II. The views from the bridge are breathtaking: turquoise waters of the Tara River, towering forested mountains, and a small market offering unique souvenirs.

However, be prepared for crowds, especially on sunny days, and the heat can make walking across the bridge a bit uncomfortable. For thrill-seekers, there’s a zipline and rafting available, though opinions on the zipline vary—it lasts just 30 seconds and some don’t feel it’s worth the €30 price tag. Nearby cafes offer food and drinks, but the quality is often disappointing. Visiting in the off-season can provide a more peaceful experience with fewer tourists.

Đurđevića Bridge is a must-see for those exploring northern Montenegro. Its grandeur and the surrounding natural beauty make it a highlight of any trip, though the tourist crowds and limited amenities might detract from the...

Breathtaking! If you look carefully you will see that cars passing by always slow down as if to pay respect. This bridge is not just one more beautiful view there is a history and good storytelling that depicts the bravery and sacrifices made by people that contributed to construction of the bridge. It's on the way to Durmitor and Zabljak - don't miss the opportunity to take a photo and hear a heartbreaking story of the bridge engeener that only 2 years after bridge was constructed had to help destroy it to cut of invasion forces during WWII and help partisans escape. Unfortunately the engineer was captured by Italian forces and as punishment he was executed on the bridge. Due to his expertise and careful calculations where to place dynamite the reconstruction of the bridge was possible soon after the end of WWII. On the left side of the bridge there is a small monument in honor of this brave man - the man that had to destroy its greatest professional achievement which led him to his...

The Đurđevića Tara Bridge, which was designed by engineer Mijat Trojanović, was built between 1937 and 1940 in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, and the works were carried out by the company Andonović from Belgrade. The project's Chief Engineer was Isaac Russo. The 365-metre-long (1,198 ft) bridge has five arches; the largest span is 116 metres (381 ft). The roadway stands 172 metres (564 ft) above the Tara River. At the time of its completion, it was the biggest vehicular concrete arch bridge in Europe. The bridge was rebuilt in 1946. It was used in the 1978 British action film "Force 10 from Navarine" set during World War II. In more recent years bungee jumping has taken place from the longest arch directly above the river. The bridge also plays a large part in the Dutch novel Het land achter Gods rug by A. den Doolaard, which was published in 1956. This novel is partly based on the true story of the bridge including its destruction by partisans during...
