Bovilla Lake

The Bovilla Reservoir spans 4.6 square kilometers within Dajti Mountain National Park, surrounded by steep cliffs and mountains reaching 1268 meters in elevation.

Construction of the reservoir began in 1988, halted during the communist collapse, resumed in 1993 with Italian support, and completed in 1996 with water filling by 1998.

Nine villages with five thousand inhabitants surround the reservoir, where residents maintain agricultural traditions and fishing practices in the mountain landscape.

Access to the reservoir requires a 4x4 vehicle due to unpaved roads, and visitors should bring water supplies as the last minimarket is located in Herraj village.

The reservoir's water depth fluctuates between 7 to 10 meters annually, with measurements indicating a maximum depth of 45 meters due to river sediment accumulation.
