Il programma nel dettaglio

We continue via a wild landscape of gorges and torrents to Visegrad to cross on foot Sinans 16 th Century Bridge over Rivere Drina. Lunch in the local restaurant. Also the art gallery and a recreation of a schoolroom from Adriatic day.



Višegrad is a town and municipality in eastern Bosnia and Herzegovina resting on the Drina River and in the Republika Srpska entity. The town includes the Ottoman-era Mehmed Paša Sokolović Bridge, an UNESCO world heritage site which was popularized by Nobel prize winning author Ivo Andrić in his novel The Bridge on the Drina. During the Bosnian War the town was one of the scenes of ethnic cleansing and massacres carried out by Bosnian Serb forces against Bosniak civilians, and it saw a drastic decline in its previously majority Bosniak population. Andrićgrad, a future tourist site dedicated to Andrić, is under construction near the bridge. Višegrad is located on the river Drina, on the road from Goražde and Ustiprača towards Užice, Serbia.
