White Drin Waterfall (Ujëvara e Drinit të Bardhë)

Located near the village of Radavc just a short distance from Peja, the White Drin Waterfall marks the source of the White Drin River as it emerges from karst caves and plunges 25-30 metres into a clear, emerald pool. Surrounded by forested slopes and framed by the peaks of the Accursed Mountains, it’s a serene and accessible nature attraction that feels both majestic and accessible.

Why Visit

• Stunning natural setting: The combination of waterfall, clear-water pool and surrounding mountain forest creates a tranquil and visually captivating place.

• Ease of access: Unlike some remote wilderness spots, this waterfall is reachable within ~11 km of Peja, making it viable as a half-day stop or part of a day trip.

• Family-friendly outdoors: The walking paths and scenic views make it suitable for families and travellers who want nature without extreme effort.

• Complementary activities: Nearby caves, picnic-spots and informal restaurants allow for a fuller outing—not just a viewpoint.

• Seasonal beauty: The flow of the waterfall is strongest in spring and autumn, offering dramatic water-rush and vibrant foliage.

Tips for Visitors

• Visit in the morning to avoid midday crowds and harsh overhead light for photos.

• Bring a jacket or waterproof layer—the spray from the waterfall can be chilly or dampening.

• Combine the trip with nearby nature spots (forest walks, caves) to extend the experience.

• If planning to dip in the pool, check local safety conditions—water is cold and there are no formal facilities.

• Respect the site’s status as a protected natural monument—leave no trace, avoid litter.
