The Mirusha waterfalls ([Слапови Мируше] Error: {{Lang-xx}}: text has italic markup (help); Albanian: Ujëvarët e Mirushës) are a series of waterfalls found in the Miruša River, a tributary of the White Drin, in Serbia. The waterfalls have, over time, created canyons and caves, which are famous throughout Serbia. The river has carved a 10 kilometres (6 mi) long canyon and has created 13 river lakes with waterfalls between them, which has earned them the name of "Plitvice of Metohija", [1] referring to the more famous waterfalls in Croatia. The waterfalls are one of the most visited attractions of the area and people often go for a swim. The walls around the waterfalls are white in colour, whereas the water from the Miruša river is a dirty brown. The waterfalls caves are also popular with visitors. The highest waterfall, between the sixth and seventh lake, is 22 metres (72 ft) high.
