Where the deep Drina flows for centuries….
Less than four centuries after that, Ivo Andric wrote the novel Na drini Cuprija (The Bridge over Drina), translated in more than fifty languages, and this made Visegrad famous for the second time, this time, across the whole world. Visegrad is recognized as a potential tourist place, for the bridge of Mehmet Pasa Sokolovic, the symbol of the town, for the thermal water spring in the Spa of Visegrad, Dobrun monastery, numerous places with medieval tombs and endemic flora. Touristic, cultural, administrative and educational complex Andricgrad is located 300 meters away from the bridge of Visegrad. In the mountains and hills around Visegrad there is the natural environment of spruce. Earlier, there were people whose occupation was very unusual: the collectors of pinecones of Bosnia spruce, for which a great physical ability was demanded.
Tourist also find numerous manifestations such as the Drina Regatta, honey fairs, jumps from the bridge and many others very attractive.
Only one man could join the words perfectly in order to describe the town. Every attempt of mine would only be desecration of his words and work
In the nice, old town of Visegrad…
