Bifurcation is a natural phenomenon where one river divided into two branches of a flow of water and pours into different seas’. There are only two cases like this in the world, so one of them is in Kosovo- in the Nerodime River. One branch pours into the Lepenc river and continues to Vardar river and Aegean Sea, the other branch flows on the other side and pours in to Sitnica River which then pours into Iber River and in the end in the Black Sea. This natural and interesting phenomenon can be visited every day. If you want to reach this point it can be easily done if you arrive there through the city of Ferizaj. The road to there is not really well-build however it is passable. The road is provided with different signs so it is nearly impossible to lose the way. The bifurcation phenomenon of the division of the river can be viewed really clearly from the grinder which was renovated and is open for tourists.
