It commands the canyon of the Drina, one of the deepest in Europe, with views of the celebrated house on the river
Declared in 1981, Tara commands the canyon of the Drina, the natural border between Serbia and Bosnia and one of the deepest in Europe. Its Banjska Stena viewpoint, above a bend in the river, has become one of the most shared images of modern Serbian tourism, and the little house stranded in midstream — built by a group of swimmers in the 1960s on a rock in the middle of the river — is now one of the most recognisable photographic symbols of the Balkans.
