About this experience
If you are a lover of nature and adventure, this will be the perfect tour for you! The tour of Tara Mountain offers pleasurable sightseeing of the beautiful Serbian wild nature. The tour starts with a visit to the beautiful Podrinje Gate viewpoint overseeing the mountain area of Bajina Bašta, a look at the unique Little House on Drina River that has been talked about in many world-renowned travel magazines. After this, we visit Vrelo restaurant, located on the waterfall of a small river Vrelo that collapses into Drina. The next stop is Banjska stena viewpoint, the most beautiful viewpoint on Tara Mountain, but also one of the most beautiful and well-known viewpoints in Serbia. We end the tour with Drvengrad, a very special ethno village built by a famous film director Emir Kusturica. The village has been made as an homage to famous film directors, actors, football players, and authors… people who impacted Kusturica’s life. A truly unique place in a unique setting.

Drina River House
After a half an hour ride we arrive at the Bosnia and Herzegovina border and Drina River to our second stop. A little wooden house on an isolated rock in the middle of the Drina River became a true world attraction. This house located at Bajina Bašta resists nature for 45 years, and after National Geographic magazine devoted one of its issues to it, Daily Mail also wrote about this magical handmade piece. Recently, Business Insider also mentioned it and ranked it top 16 weirdest houses in the world. The Little House on Drina is a symbol of Bajina Bašta and one of the most famous river landmarks in Serbia and the whole Podrinje region, also known as Zelenika. In time, it became so popular that there are thousands of newspapers, televisions, internet portals, and tourist brochures that daily bring stories, videos, and images of the famous house on the rock.

Reka Vrelo (One Year River - Reka Godina)
Vrelo restaurant is located on the waterfall of a small river Vrelo (the shortest river in Europe – 365 meters!) that collapses into Drina. Most of the tables of the restaurant garden are placed above the waterfall, which makes this a very unique ambient. Besides this, Vrelo River is bridged with multiple terraces with tables. The whole garden area of the Vrelo restaurant is covered by trees that are making a very pleasant shade even during the biggest summer heat. Lunch at the restaurant garden is a memorable event and a unique opportunity to take photos in a fairytale ambient.

Banjska Stena
Banjska stena viewpoint is the most beautiful viewpoint on Tara Mountain, but also one of the most beautiful and well-known viewpoints in Serbia. It is located 6 kilometers from Mitrovac and the way to get there is by two marked walking trails and a macadam road. The location of the viewpoint is at 1065 meters above sea level and from it, we can see an unreal view of the Perućac Lake, Drina canyon, and Osata area in the nearby Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is fenced with a secure wooden fence and there is a bench that allows you to sit and enjoy the magical landscape. This viewpoint has become extremely popular in recent years, therefore as a special nature reserve of Uvac we can consider it a symbol of Serbian tourism.

National Park Tara: House on Drina river, Banjska Stena View Point & Wooden Town: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Belgrade.
How much does National Park Tara: House on Drina river, Banjska Stena View Point & Wooden Town cost?
+
Prices start at $60 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Belgrade usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does National Park Tara: House on Drina river, Banjska Stena View Point & Wooden Town take?
+
Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Belgrade is not rushed.
Is National Park Tara: House on Drina river, Banjska Stena View Point & Wooden Town worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Belgrade, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule National Park Tara: House on Drina river, Banjska Stena View Point & Wooden Town?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is National Park Tara: House on Drina river, Banjska Stena View Point & Wooden Town suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book National Park Tara: House on Drina river, Banjska Stena View Point & Wooden Town?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Belgrade can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Belgrade and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does National Park Tara: House on Drina river, Banjska Stena View Point & Wooden Town start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Belgrade within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Belgrade?
+
On Outty we rank every Belgrade experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Day Trip from Belgrade: Gems of Eastern Serbia, Northern Serbia: Sremski Karlovci and Novi Sad Full-Day Tour from Belgrade, Belgrade: 3-Hour Small Group Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Belgrade?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Belgrade?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
