Gusinje is a small, picturesque border town towards Albania, in the north-east of Montenegro. It is located at 920 meters above sea level, at the end of a field that stretches all the way to Lake Plav (see Plav, Montenegro). From Plav (municipal center) you can get here in just 10 minutes on an asphalt road. In the opposite direction, Plav is connected to Gusinje not only by road, but also by the Ljuša river - which forms the popular Plav Lake.

Gusinje is an old settlement. It was first mentioned in the 14th century, when it existed as a village through which the trade caravan route from Primorje, more precisely from Kotor, and from Shkodër led to Peja, and further... Gusinje still has an oriental appearance today, although a lot has been built in the meantime. Some wooden houses are interesting both for their external appearance and for their internal arrangement. It is interesting that today there are more Gusinjana in America than here. Therefore, it is very lively in the summer, when the natives return and everything comes to life, even the construction of villas - built according to the architecture that the returnees had in mind all the time, from the country from which someone - came called by the season or their own annual vacation...

Gusinje has two mosques, the old and the new. The old, Vizier's mosque was built in 1743. Church of St. Đorđa was built in 1926. Tourists are targeted by the fairy-tale springs of Alipaša, ecological watercourses, as well as spending time in restaurants with certified organic food and quality wines. The positions around the Vrnja river should certainly not be bypassed. Ethnology notes the famous folk songs and dances from Gusinje, as well as the rich Muslim folk costume, especially women's.

* The high mountain range of Prokletije towered superiorly over the town! Damned are the huge mountain massif (border, between Montenegro and Albania), full of deep valleys, steep slopes, rare plant and animal species, centuries-old pines and with almost eternal snow! For Prokletije, we could rightly say that they are an unparalleled mountain endemic in the immediate environment! The jagged hills are silent at over 2500 m above sea level. The ascent to them is as attractive to mountaineers as the ascent to individual peaks of the Alps. Fast rivers like the Trokuska cross this wreath. Glacier cirques, mountain watercourses and other unique landforms can also be seen on Prokletije. Lovers of untouched nature, equipped of course with all modern devices for positional detection, enjoy here as in a rare place. The damned virgins are untouched. To this day!

The mountain fauna is not far behind in diversity to the beauty that the flora promotes to our eyes! The forests are deciduous and coniferous, often of the rainforest type (from 500 to 1800 m above sea level). Above 1800 m there is a zone of alpine pastures, full of unexpected herbs and medicinal flowering plants. In the massif live bears, chamois, roe deer, wild boars, grouse, stone grouse, and exceptionally – lynx, the largest European wild cat! The streams that rush down the vertical slopes bring trout and barbel with them. Through the waterways, both bream and pike reach Plavsko jezero. * From Gusinje, you can reach neighboring rural areas in just a few minutes' drive, to Grnčar, Dolja, Vusanja, Kruševo, Martinovići, Vojni selo, Đurićka rijeka, Hota... If you have time and are not in a hurry to get to civilization, let them visit. Who knows when he will have a similar opportunity.
