context_page_description: The Erenik, or the Ribnik, is a river in Kosovo. Located in the west of the country, it measures 51 km-long, a right tributary to the White Drin.
  The Erenik originates near the Albanian border, in the northern slopes of the Junik Mountains, a part of the Prokletije massif, under the Đeravica peak, the highest of such in Kosovo. The river flows to the south and south-east, following the eastern edge of the Prokletije mountains, dividing them from the western region.
  Before passing through Gjakova, there is a string of settlements: the villages of Jasiċ, Nivokaz and Ponoševac, the small town of Junik and the village and mine of Babaj Boks. It receives many streams from the right, flowing down from the Prokletije mountains, but the Erenik's major tributaries are from its western side.
  After Gjakova, the Erenik flows beside the villages of Rača and Bistražin, soon emptying into the White Drin near the village and hill of Gradište. The river formed an epigene gallery feature called Švanjski most in the hill. The river valley in this final section serves as a part of the route of the Peć-Gjakova-Prizren road.
context_section_description: The Erenik (Albanian: Erenik; Serbian Cyrillic: Ереник / Рибник), or the Ribnik, is a river in Kosovo. Located in the west of the country, it measures 51 km (32 mi)-long, a right tributary to the White Drin.
  The Erenik originates near the Albanian border, in the northern slopes of the Junik Mountains, a part of the Prokletije massif, under the Đeravica peak (2,656 m or 8,714 ft), the highest of such in Kosovo. The river flows to the south and south-east, following the eastern edge of the Prokletije mountains, dividing them from the western region.
  Before passing through Gjakova, there is a string of settlements: the villages of Jasiċ, Nivokaz and Ponoševac, the small town of Junik and the village and mine of Babaj Boks. It receives many streams from the right, flowing down from the Prokletije mountains (most notably, Šlepica and Rečica), but the Erenik's major tributaries are from its western side (Trava and Loćanska Bistrica).
  After Gjakova, the Erenik flows beside the villages of Rača and Bistražin, soon emptying into the White Drin near the village and hill of Gradište. The river formed an epigene gallery feature called Švanjski most in the hill. The river valley in this final section serves as a part of the route of the Peć-Gjakova-Prizren road.
  The Erenik belongs to the Adriatic Sea drainage basin, draining an area of 516 km² (199 sq mi). It is not navigable.
