After leaving Oravita we had to climb for about 12 km and then on the road down we stopped to fill our bottles with water at a water spring after 25 km. It was our first contact with the locals. They were very nice and they gave us a bigger bottle for water. They told us about the Bigar waterfall, which we wanted to visit and they told us about the spring of the water that comes to Bigar waterfall, It's about 0.5 km up. So we visited the spring also and meeting those people was very good for us.
After Bigar Waterfall we went downhill about 14 km and reached Bozovici village where we bought food from a store.
From Bozovici we continued our road to Prilipet and then Prigor. In Prigor there is an Touristic Information Point outside the village whici is open until 17 o'clock. From Prigor we went to Almaj-Putna Monastery which is on the road to Putna village. Turn right from the main road after 2 km and then after 5 km you can reach it. On that road we saw a water mill and a man was producing flour. At the monastery the priest allowed us to stay over night, they gave us food in the night and for breackfast and he blessed us :).
The landscape is very beautiful because is a mountain region. On the road to Putna we were impressed by all the little wood houses that are used not for living in there but to have a safe place for people that work the field when there is bad weather.
