Andrićgrad (Serbian Cyrillic: Андрићград, meaning "Andrić's town") is the name of a construction project located in Višegrad, Republika Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina by film director Emir Kusturica. The town is dedicated to Yugoslav novelist and Nobel Prize winner Ivo Andrić.

The Mehmed Paša Sokolović Bridge (Bosnian and Serbian: Most Mehmed-paše Sokolovića/Мост Мехмед-паше Соколовића; Turkish: Sokollu Mehmet Paşa Köprüsü) is a historic bridge in Višegrad, over the Drina River in eastern Bosnia and Herzegovina. It was completed in 1577 by the Ottoman court architect Mimar Sinan on the order of the Grand Vizier Mehmed Paša Sokolović.[1] UNESCO included the bridge in its 2007 World Heritage List.

Mećavnik developed as testimony to the idea that anyone who once had his own home – can always have one.

As one of the many people who didn’t return home after the war of the 1990s, whether because everything they had had been stolen and their house burnt to the ground, as was the case with my family, or because they disagreed with the politics of the time, the decision was made and a new home was built right here. Life was started afresh here on Mećavnik. Standing strangely like an island surrounded and defended by its older brothers from winds and storms, this hill became the place where, first in our dreams during a break in filming on Life is a Miracle, and then later in reality, a little town made of pine clapboards.

The main inspiration was the ancient town of Ephesus, one of the first to have an urban core, something the towns of today lost sight of long ago as they continue to sprawl unplanned and orderless with no-one knowing how or where they will end. And it was for this very reason that Mećavnik was built, a medieval fortress defending itself from all the forms of poison that attack society. Its defences lie in cultural pursuits and the production of organic food! At Mećavnik, there is a juicery, but also a barn with thirty cows, while vegetables come from Barakovac, not far from Mećavnik, from the very gates to the Beli Rzav Canyon. On Iver, one of the peaks of Mt Tara, below Zborište, which stands guard over Mećavnik, the first ski resort in Serbia to have an artificial snow-making system was also built, and there, in the summer, two hundred sheep graze on the resort’s lush grass.

Viewpoint Banjska Stena
The viewpoint is located 10 kilometers from Mitrovac. The road to the viewpoint is clearly marked, and there are benches and a safety fence at the top of it. The name Banjska stena comes from Banjsko vrelo, which is a spring at the foot of the viewpoint. The spring was of karst origin with water temperature of 4 degrees Celsius. Banja (Turkish for spa, resort) denotes a place with warm water. The citizens of Tara used this water even during the winter because it was always warm. Banjsko vrelo was flooded in the construction of lake Perućac.
Under the viewpoint there is Banjsko točilo, a scree that was used in the 19th century for the transport of wood. Timbers were transported down the river by making rafts out of them which floated down Drina to Belgrade. Banjsko točilo is 1300 meters long and today it is covered by herbs, some of them very rare plants, characteristic of screes.
From the viewpoint there is a wonderful view over the lake Perućac, Drina canyon, Osata area in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Lake Perućac is an artificial lake 52 km long, and it was made by damming of Drina in 1966, for the construction of hydroelectric plant Bajina Bašta. Today, the lake is one of the biggest attractions of these parts. Here you can enjoy boat riding, swimming, sports fishing...
Osat is an area on the left side of the middle part of Drina, also known as a strong building centre in the 19th century. Artisans from Osat built many houses and churches around the Central and Western Serbia. Characteristic for its architecture – log cabins in Tara got the name osaćanka.
