Đurđevića Tara Bridge
Žabljak, Montenegro
A concrete arch bridge about 170 m above the Tara, Europe’s deepest canyon. Rafting trips and a zip line start next to it.
The Đurđevića Tara Bridge (Most na Đurđevića Tari) is a road bridge with five concrete arches over the Tara Canyon in Montenegro, near Žabljak. It is 365 m long and the largest arch spans 116 m. Sources give its height above the river as 150 or 172 m. It was completed around 1940 and was then the largest concrete-arch road bridge in Europe.
The canyon is about 82 km long and up to 1,300 m deep; according to one source it is the deepest canyon on the European mainland. The Second World War is part of the bridge's story: in 1942 the engineer Lazar Jauković, on the Partisans' orders, blew up one arch so that Italian troops could not use the bridge. The occupiers shot him on the bridge, and a memorial recalls him. The bridge was rebuilt by 1946.
Practical notes: there is free parking on both sides, and the footpath across the bridge is free. The zipline station is next to the bridge (cables of about 824 m and 1,050 m); half-day rafting trips cover about 18 km from Brstanovica to Šćepan Polje. The Ćurevac viewpoint, about 20 km from Žabljak, offers a canyon panorama. Check prices and season with the operators ahead.
