Approach
Deravica is reached from Decani a town and monastery in Kosovo. Pec is the nearest bigger city and Decani is 16 km to the south of it.
At the monastery there's a hotel which seems not to be now in conditions to be of use for tourists. The route to Deravica is not easy to find as you walk a great river valley, Decanska bistrica, that has many sideroudes. Local inhabitants will guide you as good as it can get here.
Route Description
You follow the Decanska bistrica only a few hundred meters from the monastery. An easy path on a ridge above the valley that is in dense forests will bring you after 3 houres to alpine grounds where many wooden houses shelter the shepherds summerpastures. When you pass the first major settlement you will see a big mountain hut (at 2000 m) above the waterfall. The condition of the hut is unclear but eventually you may take shelter with some shepherds.
From here its an 3 hour scramble on Deravica.
Essential Gear
Good boots and food. Water is available evrywhere.
