Grlja Canyon and Waterfall

In English, Vodopad Grlja, or Grlja Waterfall, is a potent addition to the tiny Montenegrin settlement of Vusanje. Water from the incredible natural spring Eye of the Grasshopper and recent snowmelt from the nearby Accursed Mountains power the cascade. The water enters a deep canyon at a depth of around 12 meters before merging with water from Ali Pashas's Spring and flowing into Lake Plav.

Just before arriving in Ropojana Valley, in the village of Vusanje, is the Grlja waterfall. You can leave your car in a sizable open field when you get there. Simply follow the roar of the water from here to the waterfall. While traveling along the Peaks of the Balkans Trail from Vusanje to Theth, you will cross Grlja. Make sure you pause and take a look! The power of nature is on full show in this waterfall. The waterfall practically gushes with snow melt in the late spring and early summer. One of the most incredible demonstrations of power you have ever seen will take place here. Early in the fall, the waterfall weakens but is still a stunning sight.
