The name of the neighborhood, Visnjica, is Serbian for the sour cherry orchard. As a former village, Visnjica is a residential area without industrial or commercial facilities. The distance from the downtown is 7 kilometers. Overlooking the easternmost, wooded section of Ada Huja and the Danube itself, Visnjica, just as Viline Vode closer to downtown, was projected as an elite neighborhood in the project of "Belgrade's descend to the river banks". However, the idea of a rich settlement with villas and mansions was dropped with the economic crisis in the late 1980s.
