Currently, the most famous place for international competitions in diving from the height. Also, the stone bridge over the Tara River has a rich and interesting history.

Following the magnificent prince of the opening, attended even by Archbishop Cetinje, Ban Zetas, the Minister of Transport and many officials of Zeta Banoviny and the regional government of that time, as well as many spectators, it was started on September 21, 1934. Its construction lasted two years and the Bank Zeta gave about 1,300,000 dinars for this purpose. It is said that the bridge was built by the Dalmatians "unconditionally they were the only ones who knew how to work with a stone," and some of these workers also fell in love with the beautiful Mojkovac women and settled in the city.

Being a strategically important object, the bridge was destroyed during the Second World War. During the retreat in 1944, German troops planned to attack Mojkovac and occupied a stone bridge to ensure the crossing of their troops. The guerrillas waited for them and demolished the bridge, taking advantage of the fog of December. Using lifeboats, the Germans crossed the Tara River and built a temporary wooden bridge. After crossing the river, they demolished the bridge behind them, and, thus, the connection between Mojkovac and Kolasin was destroyed. After the liberation of the country, the wooden bridge was renewed, but the waters of the Tara River soon demolished it. And only in 1950 the old stone bridge was reconstructed.
