Ziplining, Hiking & Rafting – The Tara River Canyon Has It All
10.04.2023
Are you a fan of Zip Lining? If so, then a visit to the Durdevica Tara Bridge in the Mountains of Northern Montenegro offers the perfect adventure. Flying over the deepest River Canyon in Europe, and the second largest in the World at 1333m deep, you can travel along a 1050 zipwire at speeds of up to 120km per hour.
Open from the 1st May to the 1st November you’ll experience a phenomenal natural landscape with the spectacular Bridge in the background and though the ride itself only takes a few minutes, the scenery is simply amazing! The Canyon itself, as part of the Durmitor National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and features high cliffs, more than 80 large caves, rocky terraces and of course the Tara River which cascades around 40 times as it winds its way along the valley. Part of the River Rafting Route, the Tara River is extremely popular with Kayakers, and the one-day route runs from Brstnovica to Sćepan Polje which is around 18km in length including 21 out of 50 rapids along with the steepest drop in elevation.
The Bridge, which is located between the Villages of Budečevica and Trešnjica is a sight to behold, and a feat of engineering brilliance, built between 1937 and 1940. It’s 365m long, has five arches and once held the title of the biggest vehicle concrete arch bridge in Europe. Re-built in 1946 (after a Yugoslav raiding party destroyed parts of the bridge during the war) it featured in the film ‘Force 10 from Navarone’ and also in the Dutch Novel Het land achter Gods rug by A. den Doolaard. It’s also highly interesting to note that the Bridge also held a second record, which is that the wooden scaffolding (needed to build the bridge) actually cost around 40% of the total budget.
Along with the Zipline, the Rafting & the Bridge, there’s plenty of other activities you can take part in around the area, with plenty to see and do along the way. Certain trees in the forests date all the way back to the Ice Age & the area has an extremely rich & diverse range of animals & fish including trout, graylings, vultures, eagles, bears, wolves and foxes. Otters have also been known to frequent parts of the River, and though they are rare – you might get lucky!

Dear CMM team, just to leave a small feedback on the superjob you've done ! It was not an easy period for us with a child. As we had to sell our home property and decided alternatively buy some nice house at Montenegrin coast. We were truly frightened at the start. My colleague, being your customer, gave a good recommendation, so, we called the office. All the part, covering seach and purchase in Montenegro, was quickly, safe and perfectly done. Good luck and further success and propsperity to the company! Special thanks to Alexander and Snezana for professional approach!

Always thought that buying property abroad isnervous and difficult task. CMM changed my mindset. I felt support and care in every step: from the first call arranged till receiving the Owner's list. I am also happy about how they make my apartment management. Now, whenever me or my family members come home to Montenegro, I am absolutely confident that my apartment is in the best condition!

Good day! The first time we met professionally organised step by step work with property in the Southern country. It was a nice surprise for me and my spouse. Well-established algorithms helped us to understand country, its particular features, pluses and drawbacks. Professional manager (Petar Kuzmich) helped us to avoid mistaken choice and provided a really wide number of options to choose from. We felt and still do absolutely safe while buying a house. Happy to come across with your company! Will recommend to our neighboors and family friends in first Norway home.

CMM is supergood in diplomatic dealing with all sides. I found the apartment I wanted in Montenegro, though the previous owner was behaving awfully and didn't want to bargain. Your managers somehow managed to agree the acceptable price so that we could start with deal. Professional advice on every step helped me avoid numerous mistakes possible. You have all that a naughty customer needs! Also thanks for the wonderful natures shown and nice coffeeshops/dineries =) Now recommending CMM Group to those planning to move or long vacations in Montenegro. Great management and attitude!
