Window on Niksic

Although Gornja Bijela is accessible by road from the main road from Nikšić to Žabljak near the village of Kruševice, where there is a turn on the right as you head northwards, there is a pleasant walk also from the Krnovo Plain from the last of the windmills along this valley, which leads westwards where there is a break in the long line of mountains. The trail leads downwards along a stream, largely surrounded by trees. The road comes out onto the left side of a valley which points towards Šavnik. From here you need to find a path which continues downhill, rather than along the road which follows the contours of the valley. The path goes past a couple of houses, and follows a stream, eventually coming out onto the asphalt road mentioned earlier. Here your ears can lead you to the River Bijela, and follow this upstream to where the waterfall is. This is a beautiful spot, and as the summer goes on the flows slightly diminishes. The return trip is almost completely uphill.
