Bridge over Žepa river
Bridge over Žepa river, Ottoman stone arch bridge in Rogatica, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The Bridge over Žepa river is a stone arch bridge built during Ottoman times that gracefully spans the water below. Its solid construction shows how engineers of that era managed to cross the river with a single elegant arch.
The bridge was built during Ottoman times as an important crossing point for the region. Years later it was carefully moved and reconstructed upstream to make room for a hydroelectric dam project.
Nobel Prize winner Ivo Andrić referenced this bridge in his literary work 'The Bridge on the Drina', published in 1925.
The location sits somewhat away from the main town but is reached by roads in decent condition. Wear appropriate footwear since the area is hilly and paths can be uneven.
The bridge gained literary attention through a famous novel, giving it a place in the region's cultural memory. After difficult years, it became a symbol of return and economic revival for the local community.
