Mirusha is a regional park located in the central part of Kosovo on the eastern side of the Dukagjini plain. The area has been put under protection in 1975 as a special nature reserve, with an area of 190.21.55 ha by a decision of municipality of Rahovec and Klina. Due to its geoheritage values,specific landscapes, as well as high plant diversity, in 1982 the area was declared a regional park in the fifth category (Protected Landscape) according to IUCN,with an area of 555.80.70 ha, and it belongs to three municipalities: Klina, Malisheva and Rahovec.〔http://mmph.rks-gov.net/repository/docs/Draft-Plani-Hapesinor-Ujevarat-e-Mirushes-1212_711361.pdf〕 One year later in 1983 due hydrological, geo-morphological and landscape values the water flow of river Mirusha has also been put under protection in third category (Natural Monument) according to IUCN. Its area consist of 11.97,29 ha and belongs to Rahovec and Klina municipalities.〔http://www.ammk-rks.net/repository/docs/1StateofNature.pdf〕 == Features == Mirusha park is most famous for its canyon in which flows the river Mirusha that creates series of karst lakes and waterfalls arranged one after another in cascades. Due to its geological structure which consists of ultra basic rocks and volcanic-sedimentary formations (diabase cheart) of Jurassic age and the carbonates from the lower and upper Cretaceous, Mirusha river has created a 200 meters deep canyon.〔http://www.progeo.se/news/2011/pgn111.pdf〕 At certain points along the canyon lie small lakes, connected to each other by waterfalls, high up to 21 m. There are located in total 12 waterfalls and 16 lakes. They vary in shape and size according to their position, and the structure and lithological composition of the limestone blocks. The canyon is at its widest at the final lake, while the narrowest part is in the area of the fourth lake, where it is also deepest,between cliffs 200 m high.〔http://www.ammk-rks.net/repository/docs/AH_-_Malisheve.pdf〕〔http://www.phm-west.org/phm/kline/4.pdf〕 Rare natural geological and geomorphological features, also create interesting motives for the landscape of the park, especially specific geological form of the terrain, caves, cracks, other rocky phenomena which are created as a result of geological past, the effects of erosion, water and other exogenous factors. As a result of mild continental climate influenced by the Mediterranean, a very rich flora and fauna has been created. The regional park area is home to many endemic and stenoendemic species.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mirusha Park」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
