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. The Gorge splits the Šar Mountain range (Sharr) from the Skopska Crna Gora Mountain range (Karadak). During Ottoman rule, the gorge saw fierce fighting, and inspired songs still used today.
