The Bistrica e Deçanit ( Albanian  also  Lumbardh i Deçanit , Serbian Дечанска Бистрица Dečanska Bistrica ) is a 53 kilometer long river in western Kosovo . It drains parts of the Albanian Alps on the western border of Kosovo with Albania and Montenegro north of the Gjeravica .

The river has its source in the mountainous area Bogiçevica near the border with Montenegro and flows east through the Bjeshkët e Nemuna National Park . After a few kilometers the direction changes more to the southeast.  Energy is generated in a small hydroelectric power station . The Lumbardh then takes on a branch on the right, which comes from the northwest slopes of the Gjeravica. Visoki Dečani Monastery is located at the exit from the mountains . The Lumbardh then passes the city of Deçan , which is eponymous for the river, a little north of the center. It flows further east at Kralan into the White Drin .
