Gusinje is located in the immediate vicinity of the border with Albania, at the confluence of the Vruja and the Grnčar River. It is located in the southwestern part of the Plavsko-Gusinj basin at about 900 meters above sea level, under the steep slopes of Prokletije from the south and Visitor from the north, at the point where the roads from three glacial valleys cross. It does not have an important geographical location in terms of traffic, so it is an area of significant population migration. It is surrounded by high mountains and has a harsh climate. An important caravan route to Albania once led through the less accessible but beautiful valley of Rapojana. It contains the karst village of Oko Skakavice and the 20 m high Grlja waterfall at the entrance to the canyon. By the way, those regions at the foot of Prokletije, to which Gusinje also belongs, are known for the abundance of water and springs. Only 1.5 km from the village, at an altitude of 925 m above sea level, there are Alipaša’s springs, which for centuries have been an indispensable part of local life. It is the largest permanent karst spring in Montenegro. It springs on an area of over 300 square meters, providing during most of the year about four cubic meters of water per second.
