Five concrete arches carry the road across the Tara canyon 23 kilometres from Zabljak, about 170 metres above the river at the most photographed point in northern Montenegro. Walk to mid-span for the view down the gorge, and check the current works schedule before planning a crossing; the bridge has been under reconstruction with closures into late 2026.
The bridge is the easy half, in an ordinary year. The Đurđevića Tara carries the M-6 across the canyon on five concrete arches, 23 kilometres from Žabljak, and the stop it anchors has grown souvenir stalls, a few taverns, and at least two zipline businesses whose published cable lengths and speeds disagree badly enough that anyone buying a ride should ask which cable they are being sold. Walking out to the middle of the span takes about ten minutes each way and is where the canyon opens up properly, but there is no separate footway and the deck carries live traffic, so it is a walk to take deliberately, and at least one traveller has judged the railing too low for small children. The better photograph is not from the deck at all: a viewing platform sits twenty or thirty metres below the road on the southeastern side and gives the full arc of the arches. An hour covers all of it, outside the worst window of roughly eleven to three in July and August, when the coaches land from the coast and the smaller southern car park has already filled.
