Toegang
One of the best places to access Drina's meanders in the lower course is gravel pits near Crna Bara. Head southwest of the Crna Bara village where the dirt road passes over the embankment and continues to the gravel pits. Note that the terrain and dirt roads change yearly, because of the heavy gravel exploitation and because of the Drina River itself. However, the chances are very good that the riverbank is easily accessible at the time of your visit and that you can find a good spot to observe the birds.
