The Višegrad Hydroelectric Power Station is a large dam on the Drina River, just upstream from the historic town of Višegrad. Completed in 1989, it generates electricity and creates a vast reservoir that stretches into the surrounding hills. Visitors come to admire the sheer scale of the concrete structure, watch water cascade from the spillways, and enjoy panoramic views of the river valley. The site is a popular stop for those interested in industrial tourism or seeking a peaceful spot for photography. The nearby bridge and riverbanks offer pleasant walking paths.
Don't miss
- View the dam's massive concrete wall and spillway from the downstream observation area
- Walk along the reservoir's edge for expansive views of the Drina River and forested hills
- Photograph the contrast between the modern dam and the historic Mehmed Paša Sokolović Bridge downstream
