Driving to Visegrad v2.0

As part of my long extended trip in Europe this spring and summer I will be driving from Dubrovnik to Visegrad to visit the famed "Bridge on the Drina" subject of Ivo Andric's book of the same name and winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature and a truly great book. ( a book I think is absolutely essential to read before going to this part of the world)...But I digress...

I am looking for folks who have driven that route and can provide any suggestions of great stops along the way. Lunch stops? Great little Inns? Sights?

Please hold all comments on how difficult or easy it is to drive in B/H. I have driven in Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Egypt and others so I am not worried about the actual driving or the roads. Just interested in interesting sights.

Thanks for any help.

After Dubrovnik you might want to see some less commercialized coast line. For that i would suggest you drive south to Budva, then head to Višegrad by way of the beautiful mountains of northern Montenegro. Spent a few weeks there last year and definitely returning. If it interests you at all let me know and i will send some details...

Hi thanks for your reply,

I am actually coming to Dubrovnik from Bar, Montenegro and will return to Bar from Visegrad. Right now I am thinking of backtracking to Foca then across the border into Montenegro and back south to Bar.

I'd appreciate any suggestions you have.
