Bodies of Water
Although Kosovo is landlocked, there are several notable rivers and lakes within its borders. The main rivers are the White Drin, running towards the Adriatic Sea, with the Erenik among its tributaries, the Sitnica, the South Morava in the Goljak area, and Ibar in the north. The main lakes are Gazivoda Lake (380 million m³) in the north-western part, Radonjićko Lake (113 million m³) in the south-west part, Batlava Lake (40 million m³) and Badovac Lake (26 million m³) in the north-east part. Other smaller scenic lakes include Heart's Lake, Đeravica Lake and Liqenat Lake. Kosovo is also home to the following waterfalls:
- The 25 metres (82 ft) Drin Waterfall is located at the mouth of the White Drin River.
- The Miruša Waterfalls are a series of falls on the Miruša River (a tributary of the Drin) in the municipality of Mališevo in western Kosovo, on the Metohija region.

“Bodies of holy men and women exude
Miraculous oil, odour of violet.
But under heavy loads of trampled clay
Lie bodies of the vampires full of blood;
Their shrouds are bloody and their lips are wet.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“This death’s livery which walled its bearers from ordinary life was sign that they have sold their wills and bodies to the State: and contracted themselves into a service not the less abject for that its beginning was voluntary.”
—T.E. (Thomas Edward)
“Reasoning with a drunkard is like
Going under water with a torch to seek for a drowning man.”
