Drvenija Bridge, also known as Drvenija Most, is more than just a way to cross the Miljacka River; it's a symbol of Sarajevo's history and resilience. Constructed in 1898 during the Austro-Hungarian era, it stands between the Ćumurija and Čobanija bridges. The bridge replaced earlier wooden versions that often fell victim to the Miljacka's floods, hence the name 'Drvenija,' derived from the Bosnian word for wood. Throughout its history, Drvenija Bridge has been a vital part of Sarajevo's social fabric. It's been known as 'Gimnazijski Most' due to its proximity to several schools and academies. The bridge that stands today was reconstructed in 1988, with a reinforced concrete structure and a symbolic wooden railing. In 2019, the city undertook conservation work to repair damage from the elements. Today, Drvenija Bridge remains one of the busiest pedestrian bridges in Sarajevo, offering stunning views of the river and the city. Its central location makes it a perfect starting point for exploring nearby attractions, immersing visitors in Sarajevo's blend of Ottoman, Austro-Hungarian, and modern architecture.
