Bridge over Žepa river

The Bridge over Žepa river features a single stone arch spanning across the water, demonstrating Ottoman engineering techniques from the 16th century.

The bridge underwent careful dismantling and reconstruction at a new location upstream due to the construction of HPP Bajina Bašta hydroelectric plant.

Nobel Prize winner Ivo Andrić referenced this bridge in his literary work 'The Bridge on the Drina', published in 1925.

The bridge stands 35 kilometers northeast of Rogatica, with parking facilities and access roads available for visitors exploring the structure.

Local residents returned after the 1995 conflict to establish fish farming operations near the bridge, creating employment opportunities across ethnic groups.
