The White Drin Waterfall is a waterfall in the western part of Kosovo.[lower-alpha 1] It is located in the Žljeb mountain in the Prokletije in the village of Radavc, 11 km away from the town of Peja. The waterfall is located at the mouth of the White Drin river and is 25 m (82 ft) high. Mountainous scenery surrounds the waterfall and makes it a popular tourist attraction throughout Kosovo. Other smaller waterfalls are near the area.
The waterfall, together with the cave and the spring of White Drin River is taken under legal protection in 1983, as nature monument due to its geomorphological, hydrological and touristic values with a surface of 89.94 ha (1 km2).[1]
