The most attractive part of the river Tara represents the border between Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina (Republic of Srpska). We are located on the right bank of the river, the BiH side, so if you are coming by car from Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia, or some of the cities in BiH you do not need to cross the border with Montenegro.

If you are arriving by car from Montenegro, you will find us at the 7th km after the border crossing Scepan Polje. If you have rented a vehicle in Montenegro and do not have the option of crossing the border, we will send our car to pick you up without charge. You can park your car in safe parking near the border and after the arrangement, we will take you back to the vehicle, again without charge.

If you decide to come to us by public transport, you can find the bus schedules here to help you plan the journey since it is very hard to find information about it online.
