Kosovo's landscape is mountainous along most of its borders. The mountains and valleys are part of the Dinaric Alps, the massive mountain range that runs parallel to the Adriatic coast, separating the interior of the Balkan Peninsula from its coastal areas in the west.
Landscape
Kosovo's landscape offers scenic drives, hiking trails, ski slopes and a range of natural attractions such as forested mountains with high peaks, alpine meadows, limestone caves, waterfalls, mountain streams and glacial lakes.
Relief
The two hilly central plains with average altitudes between 450 and 550 m above sea level are Dukagjini (Metohija) region in the west and the Kosovo Field (Kosovo polje) in the east. The north-south running Crnoljeva Mountains separate the two plateaus.
To the north of the Crnoljeva Mountains is the Drenica Valley. In the southwest, the Sharr Mountains (Šar) dominate the landscape along Kosovo's border with North Macedonia. The mountain range features several peaks that reach altitudes of more than 2,500 m.
Along the southern border with Albania are the foothills of the Albanian Alps, the Koritnik and Gjallica Mountains.
The western border region of Kosovo with Montenegro is nicely decorated with the Accursed Mountains. The landscape offers isolated mountain villages, forest trails, a ski resort at Bogë and the highest peak in Kosovo, Gjeravica, with a prominence of 1,018 m and a total elevation above sea level of 2,656 m.
In the northern part of Kosovo, northeast of the district capital Mitrovica stretches the Kopaonik mountain massif. Its highest point at 2,017 m ist Pančić's Peak. In the Serbian part of this mountain range is the FIS-recognized ski resort Kopaonik.
Rivers and Lakes
Kosovo's mountainous landscape is the source of several rivers which empty into three seas, the Adriatic and the Aegean Seas (both part of the Mediterranean Sea) and the Black Sea. Some of Kosovo's, relative short, rivers are Morava, Erenik, Ibar, White Drin (the longest river - 122 km), Binačka Morava and Sitnica River.

However, I will mostly upload a blog about bikes and their development in the next few months! Recently, I have so much into ebike cargo. They say this type of bike can replace the car! And I am very into it since my place is crowded with traffic jams! The video above showed a funny situation: I started the review from Brooks's handle! And after nine years! It's still an excellent bike handle and not even destroyed!

Hi, hi, hi. So, it's been a while for the last couple of weeks since I have considered buying a cargo bike. The reason is that I am often trapped in a traffic jam because I can't get faster in my car.

Custom LEGO Transformers Devastator
My faith in humanity is restored! OK, that’s a bit overboard – but you couldn’t blame me if you see an incredibly, exquisitely and wonderfully executed custom LEGO Transformers Devastator such as this by Alex Jones. I feel transported to the 80’s once again, with the same intense childhood wonder when I first saw the Constructicons combine and become the formidable Devastator.
