Bajina Basta serves as the main gateway to Tara National Park, a heavily forested mountain reserve along the Drina river valley known for old-growth Serbian spruce, a tree once thought extinct until a surviving stand was found here in the 1950s, and for viewpoints such as Banjska Stena that look out across the river into Bosnia.
On the river itself, a small wooden house perched on a rock in the middle of the Drina, built in 1968 by swimmers who wanted somewhere to sunbathe away from the bank, has become one of the most photographed spots in Serbia, rebuilt several times after flood damage but always in the same spot. Nearby, Perucac lake and its hydroelectric dam add a second, quieter draw for boat trips along the calm reservoir water.
