Mojkovac is the capital of the eponymous municipality in Montenegro, which is located in the valley of the river canyon at the foot of Bjelasica and Sinjavina, and belongs to the Highlands north-eastern part of Montenegro between national parks „Biogradska gora“ and „Durmitor“.
Although only fifty years old, the monument to the Heroes of the Battle of Mojkovac has become a symbol of the city. Located on the right bank of the Tara, near the stone bridge, the monument, the work of the sculptor Drago Đurović and the architect Mirko Đukić, was built in 1966, marking the fiftieth anniversary of the famous Mojkovac battle. Although it was not crucial for the final outcome, this battle is one of the most significant in the First World War and the entire history of Montenegro. On Christmas Day in 1916, the Montenegrin army, under the leadership of sergeant Janko Vukotic, with enormous sacrifices, won a stronger and more supremely superior Austro-Hungarian army. Mojkovac's heroes became a symbol of starvation and heroism, and another confirmation of traditional Montenegrin courage and heroism.
Nowadays best known for the international high jumping competition and the start of the Adventure Race "Northern Challenge", the stone bridge on Tara had a rich and interesting history. It was put into traffic on September 21, 1934. Its construction lasted for two years, and Zetska bank cost about 1. 300,000 dinars. It is said that the bridge was built by the Dalmatians, "because they only knew how to work with a stone", and some of those workers fell in love with beautiful girls from Mojkovac and they rest in town.

These parameters make the Tara River Canyon one of the deepest river canyons in Europe, and indeed the world.
