Bovilla Lake, Water reservoir in Cudhi, Albania
Description
Bovilla Lake is a reservoir located in Cudhi, surrounded by steep cliffs and high mountains that rise from the water. The body of water stretches across several kilometers and fills a large basin in the mountainous landscape.
History
The reservoir was created through a dam construction project that faced interruptions during political changes in the region. Its completion occurred in the late 1990s with assistance from European partners.
Culture
The communities surrounding the water are connected to it through traditional fishing practices that have shaped daily life in these mountain villages. This way of living remains visible in how locals interact with the landscape and its resources.
Practical
Reaching the reservoir requires a suitable vehicle due to unpaved access roads across the mountains. It is wise to bring your own water and supplies since services are limited near the site.
Did you know?
The water level changes noticeably with the seasons and rainfall patterns, making it a dynamic feature of the landscape. These fluctuations create different visual impressions depending on when visitors arrive.
