Nature
The Mirusha waterfalls are a series of waterfalls found in the Mirusha River, a tributary of the White Drin, in Kosovo. The waterfalls have, over time, created canyons and caves, which are famous throughout Kosovo. The river has carved a 10 kilometres (6 mi) long canyon and has created 13 river lakes with waterfalls between them, which has earned them the name of "Plitvice of Metohija", referring to the more famous waterfalls in Croatia. The waterfalls are one of the most visited attractions of the area and people often go for a swim. The walls around the waterfalls are white in color , whereas the water from the Mirusha 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 high.
History
Klina is shown to be inhabited since ancient times. First mentioning comes from Ptolemy which mentions Chinna, residing close to Narona and 12 miles from Shkodër, both listed as part of Dalmatia.
Newer sources mention it populated by the Illyrian tribe of Dardani. There are also sources who place the hypotheses of a Celtic settlement in Illyricum, and a possible Celtic explanation of the name.
During Early Middle Ages, Porphyrogenitus mentions the urban center of Desstinik, today Dersnik/Dresnik, where important archeological discoveries of Roman period were made in August 2013, described as: ...the most important discovery of the past few decades to have been made in Kosovo in the area of archaeology.
