Tabak Bridge (Ura e Tabakëve), Gjakovë

The Tabak Bridge (Ura e Tabakëve) is one of Gjakova’s older river crossings, named for the tanners (tabakë) who once worked nearby. Its stone arches and low profile fit the Ottoman engineering tradition seen across western Kosovo. Slightly removed from the busiest bazaar lanes, it rewards a short detour for photographers and walkers tracing the city’s old trade routes toward the White Drin valley. Combine with a loop through southern bazaar streets and the Bektashi Tekke. Estimated visit time: 15 min. City: Gjakovë, Kosovo. Coordinates: 42.370394, 20.420681.
