The Bistrica e Prizrenit (Albanian also Lumbardh i Prizrenit, Serbian Призренска Бистрица Prizrenska Bistrica) is an approximately 34 km long left tributary of the White Drin in southern Kosovo. Colloquially it is often just called Bistrica.
It rises east of the city of Prizren in the immediate vicinity of the Prevalla road pass and initially runs westwards through a deeply cut valley. Its gorge separates the Oshlak range in the north from the Šar Planina in the south. From the village of Gornjasella, the highway from Prizren to Kaçanik runs along the river.
After the village of Reçan and just before Prizren, the valley narrows and becomes a narrow gorge, Gryka e Lumbardhit të Prizrenit, about 500 meters deep. Here is the Serbian Orthodox Archangel Monastery, which is surrounded by the Bistrica and was destroyed in the riots in March 2004. At the entrance to Prizren, the river emerges from the gorge into the Prizrensko polje plain, before flowing through the immediate city center – enclosed in stone.
After Prizren, the Bistrica crosses the Polje, which is used for agriculture, and finally, near the town of Muradem, it flows into the White Drin, which has already been dammed here by the Albanian Fierza Dam.
