You feel the train pick at the tunnel’s mouth, then the world opens: a river carves a sharp line between vertical limestone walls, and the track clings high above the Morača. Windows frame plunging views of Platije canyon and distant ridgelines—Maganik, Žurim and Stožac—while the steel arch of the Mala Rijeka viaduct comes into view like an engineered cliff.
