Dragash

Dragash, otherwise known as Shar, is a town located in the Prizren district of Kosovo. Shar is a reference to Sharr Mountain. This city of Dragash is a regional and municipal center for the regions of Gora and Opojë. The whole territory is surrounded by Sharr mountain, then Koritnik and the mountain Gjallice.

Apart from the multiethnic town of Dragash, Gorani from Kosovo still live in villages that are mostly inhabited by their community in Gora. The Opojë region is predominantly Albanian.

The municipality is mountainous and therefore has related infrastructural problems (eg. poor access to some villages during the winter). During the winter, huge snows cover the mountains, this is the right place for nature lovers. Wherever you look, the steep mountains are pushed into the sky, untouched rivers flow through their sides. The city of Dragash has incredible potential as a destination for hiking and nature tourism. Many call this place the hidden gem of Kosovo.

Sharr mountain is an ideal location for outdoor adventures, family picnics, hiking, collecting edible mushrooms, horse riding, mountain biking, skiing, just relaxing in great excursions on the crystal clear mountain of the river… You can also see a variety of wildlife. Visitors can pick blueberries, enjoy the sound of the birds and many other things.
