Isniq is a settlement north of Deçan in Western Kosovo about 45 miles (or 72 km) west of Pristina.[citation needed] The village is based on the plains of Dukagjini at the foot of the Accursed Mountains next to the Deçani's White Drin River and is the biggest village in Kosovo. Medicinal plants grow at the mountains of 2656 meters above the sea.[2] Berit Backer wrote a book about the region.[3]
