Kaçandoll is a river in northeastern Kosovo. The river has a length of 32.5 kilometres (20.2 mi) and is a right tributary of the Llapi river.[2]
Overview
The river’s source is the confluence of two streams originating on the slopes of the Bajraku peak, at around 1,600 metres (5,200 ft) elevation. The Kaçandoll flows southwards, nourished by streams from the Kopaonik Mountains, and ultimately flows through its namesake village of Kaçandoll. It ends in the village of Lupçi i Poshtëm, where it flows into the Llapi River. Its basin size is 193.6 km2 (74.7 sq mi).[3]
Biodiversity
In the river is the river trout (Salmo trutta fario) to be found.[1]
Hydroelectricity
There were plans to build a hydroelectric power station in the valley of the river, however the permit for this project was declined by the municipality of Podujevë in 2021. The hydroelectric power plant was planned to be built in 24 months and was expected to generate an energy of 6.08 GWh yearly.[4]
