The Mirusha Waterfalls (Albanian: Ujëvarat e Mirushës; Serbian: Слапови Мируше, romanized: Slapovi Miruše) are a series of waterfalls found in the Mirusha Park, in central Kosovo. The waterfalls have, over time, created canyons and caves, which are famous throughout the country.[citation needed] Mirusha River has carved a 10 kilometres (6 mi) canyon and created 13 lakes with waterfalls between them. The waterfalls are one of the most visited attractions of the area and people often swim there.[citation needed] The walls around the waterfalls are white in colour, whereas the water from the Mirusha River is a dirty brown. The cliffs around some pools are used for high-diving competitions.[1] The waterfall's caves are also popular with visitors. The highest waterfall, between the sixth and seventh lake, is 22 metres (72 ft) high.[citation needed]
