Andrićgrad
Andrićgrad ( Serbian - Cyrillic Андрићград , German translation Andrić-Stadt , also Kamengrad , German translation Steinstadt ) is the name of a new district of Višegrad ( Bosnia and Herzegovina ) dedicated to the poet and Nobel Prize for Literature Prize winner Ivo Andrić , which is being built as part of a construction project. After Küstendorf ( Drvengrad ) in Serbia , from which Andrićgrad is about 25 kilometers away, it is the second planned town of the director Emir Kusturica . Both projects are linked by a section of the old Bosnian Eastern Railway that was restored on Kusturica's initiative . Work on a previously fallow peninsula, which is formed by the area where the Rzav River flows into the Drina , began on June 28, 2011, and Andrićgrad was opened exactly three years later to the day. The location is to serve as a film set for Kusturica's film adaptation of Andrić's " The Bridge over the Drina ".
