Rijeka Crnojevića Bridge
Rijeka Crnojevića, Montenegro
A 19th-century stone arch bridge in a sleepy river village at the northern end of Lake Skadar. Boat trips run down the river to the lake.
The Danilo Bridge (Danilov most) is a double-arched stone bridge in the village of Rijeka Crnojevića in Montenegro, about 15 km from Cetinje and 30 km from Podgorica. The village lies on the Crnojević River, which flows into Lake Skadar.
The limestone bridge is 43 m long. Prince Danilo had it built in 1853 in memory of his father Stanko Petrović; it replaced a wooden bridge built by Petar II Petrović-Njegoš. A larger second bridge from 1905 leads towards Virpazar. The place is historically important through Ivan Crnojević, who moved his seat to Obod after 1478. His son Đurađ founded the Obod printing house here in 1493, where the Oktoih Prvoglasnik was completed in 1494.
Practical notes: boat trips run through reed-lined channels into Lake Skadar; if you take a boat tour you pay the national park entrance fee (5 euros per day according to one source, check ahead). Roadside parking is mostly free but can fill up in summer, so come early.
