Tara bridge
Two lines cross the Tara canyon at the Đurđevića Tara bridge, 1,050 m and 824 m long and about 150 m above the canyon, at speeds of up to 120 km/h; no advance booking is needed. The bridge is a landmark on the Tara rafting routes in Durmitor National Park, and the base town is Žabljak. The Tara canyon is 1,333 m deep at its deepest point.
Piva
The Piva line runs 1,400 m from the Eko-Piva guesthouse across the lake towards the bridge at speeds up to 65 km/h, the longest in Montenegro. The Via Ferrata Piva starts near the same bridge, the Piva canyon viewpoint at Babići is in the same park, and the Piva page covers the river and the lake.
Lovćen and Budva
At Njeguši the line is 420 m at about 980 m altitude, a ride of about 45 seconds. At Brajići above Budva the line is 1,200 m and runs from April to October; Brajići is also the take-off for tandem paragliding over the Budva riviera.
Age, weight and prices
Age and weight limits, prices and the seasons of the Tara and Piva lines are set by the operators, so ask before you drive out.
Combining with rafting
The Tara lines sit on the bridge that the rafting routes pass under, and multi-day rafting trips start below the same bridge; see rafting in Montenegro for the sections and the season.
