A national park of forested mountains along the Drina River on the border with Bosnia. The Banjska Stena viewpoint gives the classic view over the Drina canyon and Lake Perućac. The Drina river house, a wooden hut on a rock in the middle of the river, is nearby at Bajina Bašta.


Take a boat through the canyon from Perućac, or raft on the Drina. Nearby, Mokra Gora has the Šargan Eight heritage railway and Kustendorf, a village built by film director Emir Kusturica.
