Geography of Prizren

Good geographical position, regional and rich natural resources, historical wealth of cultural artifacts form the basis of tourism development in the municipality of Prizren.

Forest surfaces in Prizren are rich with endemic plant reserves especially the Bosnian pine.

The amount of water that flows into rivers is greater in late autumn and spring, and lower in summer and winter.

[5] Maximum flow of water in rivers coming from Sharr Eastern Albanian Alps, can sometimes be in late autumn ( November and December ), when these regions have uninterrupted rainfall for several days.

Otherwise, due to the long and dry summer, with autumn rainfalls there is not much water in these rivers, while the underground reserves in the mountains are not filled up.

For this reason Prizren’s region is located at an altitude of about 400 meters and some of Sharri Mountains reach the height 2000 m above sea level.

This type of configuration gives preconditions for wealth and other resources, for example: Historical conditions in earlier periods were not in a very good position relative to major traffic centers.

[3] According to the Spatial Plan of Kosovo, Prizren is known as a city museum, including antique values, cultural, historic and attractive development activities such as education, trade, tourism, agriculture, light food production, textile, pharmaceutical industry, etc.
