It’s a relatively small waterfall, but the rocky canyon and turquoise/clear water make it picturesque. Worth to visit if you are around Montenegro city 🇲🇪

Just like with Niagara Falls, there's either very little or no water in the summer, although there's always some water flowing in the canyon because it's several meters deep. Even in summer, it still looks beautiful.

Great spot for swimming, although a bit dry. Despite a lot of peeing, we couldn't fill the canyon. But a great afternoon nonetheless! 👍
