[edit]- 1 Mirusha Waterfalls (Ujëvarat e Mirushës) (between Prishtina and Gjakova, on the way to Klinë; take the Prishtina-Gjakova bus and ask to be dropped off at Ujëvarat e Mirushës then walk ~3 km inland). A sequence of cascading waterfalls surrounded by towering rock formations, featuring a spacious natural swimming pool. It has a nice and interesting hike and even climb across metal bars along a cascade of 16 waterfalls and visible stone strata, with a new and nice bridge at the "end" after which you can continue in summer when the water is low, using the wires to hold on tight. On the way back stop at the restaurant near the road for fish and relaxation. Or if you are a keen hiker/climber continue the trail from the rest area up the mountain, which will lead onto a regular trail down again meeting with dirt road after 1 km or so. Free.
