The Banjska Stena observation deck on Tara is one of the five most attractive places on Instagram thanks to providing a perfect backdrop for taking photos. Everyone wants to take unforgettable photos of the Drina River canyon, and they are ready to wait in lines for that.

While taking photos, people often lean on the fence and rush without thinking about their safety. No matter how beautiful it is, it is still a place on the edge of a mountain, which is fenced off only at the "photo spot" and with a simple wooden fence, behind which there is a precipice, and it can happen that people slip and fall.

Fascinated by nature and focused on how it will look on their Instagram, there is a good chance that visitors to the Banjska Stena do not pay much attention to the warnings there.

The beautiful observation deck in the area of the Tara National Park is also the habitat for dangerous animals, so visitors should at least be careful because there is a risk of a "close encounter" with brown bears, which are one of the largest predators in the world.

Near it is a sign with a warning stating that the number of brown bears in the territory of Serbia on Mt. Tara is 40.

In case you run into a bear on the way to the look at the Drina, you should stop and not make any sudden moves, nor give any sound signals. The key is not to move.

The warning board, which visitors should by no means ignore, shows photos of a bear's front and back paw print, so that visitors to this part of Serbia can recognize if the predator is nearby.
