Mist sits low over the river, cliffs lift out of spruce, and long bends turn from deep green to pale light. Quiet tracks reach viewpoints over the water, boats glide below high walls, and small valleys lead to monasteries and stone bridges. Višegrad is the nearest base for cafés and the Mehmed Paša Sokolović Bridge.
