From Plav to Gusinje we need less then 30 minutes to our next stop - Ali Pasha's springs, the largest karst spring of its kind in our country. The springs were named after Ali-Paša Šabanagić, a famous historical figure from the XIX century. Throughout history, Ali Pasha's springs have played an important role in the life of the citizens of Gusinje. In the past, this place was an important resting place for caravans and merchants on the way from Dubrovnik to Istanbul. This is how people from the most diverse regions and cultures made deals and negotiated trades next to the springs. Also, it was at Ali Pasha's springs where disputes were settled and feuding brotherhoods were reconciled.
