Tropojë District, Administrative district in Kukës County, Albania.
Tropojë District is an administrative region in Kukës County covering roughly 1,043 square kilometers of mountainous terrain. Eight administrative units comprise the district, with Bajram Curri serving as the main local center, surrounded by chestnut and beech forests crossed by the Valbonë River.
The area appears in medieval Serbian records and Ottoman registers under the name Trebopolje, originating from a Slavic word meaning clean field. This ancient name reveals the region's historical importance along trade and settlement routes of the Balkans.
Local communities celebrate through traditional music and dances performed during gatherings and festivities. These customs remain deeply woven into everyday life and family occasions throughout the district.
Visit during dry months when mountain roads are more accessible, as weather can be harsh in winter. Bajram Curri serves as the main hub for lodging, supplies, and basic services for anyone exploring the region.
Sections of the Valbonë Valley belong to a national park recognized by UNESCO for its ancient beech forests rarely found elsewhere. These woodlands harbor uncommon plant species and offer hikers a glimpse into largely untouched natural landscapes.
