Kanionet e Osumit, Natural park in southern Albania.

Kanionet e Osumit is a natural park carved by the Osum River through layers of limestone, creating a striking gorge with towering rock faces on both sides. The canyon features several narrow passages where the river cuts through the stone, with the walls rising dramatically above the water.

The canyon was formed over millions of years as the Osum River continuously cut through limestone, shaping the rock into its present form. This process reveals how water slowly carved out one of the region's most striking natural features.

Local guides share stories about the canyon that have been passed down through generations, and these tales remain central to how people in the region understand the landscape.

Walking through the canyon requires steady footing, as the paths along the river can be uneven and sometimes slippery. Wear appropriate shoes and pay attention to water conditions, as the river level can rise after heavy rain.

The canyon contains hidden caves and underground passages within its rock walls that few visitors discover. These concealed spaces offer the chance to explore lesser-known parts of the park beyond the main river path.
