Miruša Waterfalls

One of the waterfalls

The Miruša Waterfalls (Albanian: Ujëvarët e Mirushës; Serbian: Слапови Мируше) are a series of waterfalls found in the Miruša River, a tributary of the White Drin, in Kosovo^[a]. The waterfalls created canyons and caves, and are famous throughout Kosovo. The river carved a 10 kilometres (6 mi) long canyon and created 13 river lakes with waterfalls between them, earning the name "Plitvice of Metohija".^[1]. They are one of the most visited attractions and people often go for a swim. The walls around the waterfalls are white in colour and the water from the Miruša river is a dirty brown. The waterfalls caves are also popular with visitors. The highest waterfall, between the sixth and seventh lake, is 22 metres (72 ft) high.
