Why it is worth your time
Gavanovac is one of the smaller pools in the chain, squeezed between banks steep and wooded enough to keep it shaded for much of the day. The water sits still and dark green here, a brief pause between louder falls on either side. It is easy to walk past without noticing, which is exactly its charm.
