White Drini Canyon

In the village of Dol in southwestern Kosovo, midway between Gjakova and Prizren, is White Drin Canyon.  The canyon was created by the eroding action of the White Drin River during the post-lacustric period.  The short canyon is only a mile long, but still picturesque.

Downstream, the White Drin River is popular with campers during the summer months.

Fshajt Bridge carries Highway R107 over White Drin Canyon.  The bridge was built in 1942 to replace an old Ottoman bridge built in the 1700's and destroyed in World War I.  The bridge was again damaged in 1999 during the Kosovo War but was repaired by the Italian Kosovo Force (KFOR).

We appreciated the restrooms at the nearby Ura E Shenjte Restaurant which offers a beautiful view of the canyon and the river.
