Kaçanik Gorge
Kaçanik Gorge (Albanian: Gryka e Kaçanikut, Serbian: Качаничка клисура/Kačanička klisura) is a gorge located in southern Kosovo, stretching between the town of Kaçanik and the Macedonian border, with the Lepenac River running through it. During Ottoman rule, the gorge saw fierce fighting, and inspired songs still used today.
Drill stone"
The "Ravine of Kaçanik" (Albanian: "shpuem" English: "Drill") refers to a perforated stone. It sits at the entrance of the Kacanik Gorge. A street traverses the gorge that comes from a short tunnel, which was removed after the Serbian Occupation of Kosovo. The tunnel was 15 meters long, about three meters wide and 2.5 meters high. At the entrance to the tunnel was a plaque that displayed the year of construction (1794) and the name of the Turkish Pasha.
It is also called Mark Stone, as in Kraleviq Mark. It was named after a Serbian prince from Prilep, who made the journey to the Kaçanikasin stone or legendarily, Musa Musa Kesedžija.[1]
