Via Drine, sometimes also Dubrovački put, was a medieval trade route through the Dinaric Alps that connected Dubrovnik ( Republic of Ragusa) with the Drina river valley, and from there to various places in medieval Serbia and the rest of the Balkans.
The route went through Trebinje, Bileća, [1] Gacko, Foča, Goražde, Višegrad, and Srebrenica. From Trebinje, a route forked towards the Via de Zenta. From Foča, a route forked towards the Via Militaris in Niš. From Srebrenica, a route went to Sremska Mitrovica. [2]
It was one of the two main routes from Bosnia to Dubrovnik, and was also known as the dubrovački put (lit. the path to Dubrovnik); [3] the other was Via Narenta that followed the path of the Neretva. [2]
