The Drina River Valley is where time slows down. This emerald river forms the natural border between Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia, and its valley is dotted with old bridges, tiny villages, and forested hills. It’s perfect for canoeing, slow travel, and quiet moments. You won’t find big crowds here – just a river that moves like it’s in no hurry, and invites you to do the same.
