Tara River Canyon

The Tara River Canyon, Montenegro's version of the Grand Canyon, is one of the most stunning sights in the Balkans. The river, which is part of the wider Drina River on the border between Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina, is most famous for the Tara Bridge that crosses it. The bridge is the tallest bridge ever built in the history of Yugoslavia and it sits at the very heart of the canyon, offering an iconic landscape experience. The canyon itself is 82 km long and it is the deepest river canyon in Europe at a depth of 1300 meters. The Canyon is home to some of the rarest plants in the world and a wide variety of birds can be seen along its banks. The best way to experience the Canyon is to take a rafting trip on the Tara or just spend a day kayaking or fishing in its crystal clear waters. The Tara River Canyon is an unmissable experience for anyone visiting Montenegro!
