Sharr Mountains National Park, National park in southern Kosovo.

Sharr Mountains National Park is a protected area covering a vast landscape in the northern section of a mountain range that extends into Albania and North Macedonia. The terrain is steep and varied, with numerous peaks, valleys, and forests running through it.

The park was established in 1986 and revised in 2012 to improve its management. The mountains themselves have been known since ancient times, when they were called Scardus.

Communities near Prizren and Dragash keep traditions tied to mountain life, especially in making dairy products and raising livestock. You can still see these skills practiced in daily routines when walking through the villages.

The park is accessible by car from Pristina in just over an hour, and hiking is best from spring through fall. The warmer months make the trails easier to walk and more enjoyable to explore.

The park's strict reserves protect endemic Bosnian pine stands: Popovo prase and Golem bor, both designated in 1960, and Ošljak, where capercaillie gather on the west-facing slopes each spring. Rusenica, protected since 1950, shelters the Balkan lynx.
