It opens with a concrete arch slung 172 metres above the Tara river, then climbs through forest and open highland to Žabljak on the edge of Durmitor. Any road that starts with that bridge has our attention.

The M-6 climbs from the Đurđevića Tara bridge up toward Žabljak, the gateway town for Durmitor National Park. The concrete arch bridge carries the road 172 metres above the Tara river before the route rises through forest and open highland. Mind the heavy summer coach traffic, livestock on the verges and sudden mountain weather.
