The Nerodimka (Serbian Cyrillic: Неродимка, Albanian: Nerodimja or Nerodime) is a river in the Nerodime region of Kosovo, a 41 km-long left tributary to the Lepenc river. It represents Europe's only instance of a river bifurcation flowing into two seas,[1][2] dividing into two irreversible branches. The left branch flows into the Black Sea, and the right branch flows into the Aegean Sea.[1]
