Dibër County, Administrative division in northeastern Albania
Description
Dibër County is an administrative region in northeastern Albania comprising four municipalities spread across mountainous terrain. Peshkopi serves as the administrative center and main town of this region.
History
The region became an official administrative division in 2000 following multiple reorganizations since Albania gained independence from Ottoman rule in 1912. The transition to the modern administrative structure shaped the current organization of this mountain landscape.
Culture
The local population maintains strong connections to farming traditions that shape daily life in the mountain villages. This is a place where traditional ways of living remain visible and people feel tied to the land.
Practical
The region is easier to explore if you are familiar with local roads, which can be narrow and winding, especially at higher elevations. It helps to be flexible and allow extra time for travel, since mountain routes take longer to navigate.
