Location
Country	Montenegro
Municipality	Rožaje

It is located 10 km away from the city center on the northern side at the foot of the mountain Hajla in a dense conifer forest.[1] Rožaje has a big amount of springs, but the strongest one is the spring of the river Ibar[2] which is also the longest Montenegrin river.

The road to the spring has beautiful landscapes with a lot of places suitable for picnic or sport activities (such as mountain biking[3]) or other recreation.[4] The road which needs only to be followed to the spring is located in Suho Polje a few kilometers from the city center of Rožaje on Ibarska magistrala in the direction to Berane, on the left side over the bridge next to the hotel Aldi.[5]

The road to the Vrelo Ibra is suitable for going by foot or by any vehicle. The strongest recommendation of the turistic organization of Rožaje is to go with a bike. Near the spring is located the main turistic mountain house in Bandžov.[6]

The length of the road to Vrelo Ibra is 12 km[7] from the place Suho Polje in Rožaje. In the upper course of the river Ibar, which can be followed on the main road to the spring, can be found a lot of brown trout,[8] and in the downstream part of the present chub, carp and whitefish.[9] Vrelo Ibra is a very romantic place[10] which potentials are still not fully valorized.
