National Park - Fir of Hotova, National park in Gjirokastër County, Albania

The forest expands across 34,361 hectares of mountainous terrain with limestone formations, valleys, canyons, gorges, rivers, and dense deciduous forests.

The Albanian government established Hotova-Dangelli as a national park on January 15, 1996, to protect the largest Bulgarian fir forest in the Balkans.

The Frasheri Brothers Museum within the park territory displays documents, photographs, and sculptures representing the Albanian Renaissance period.

Visitors need a four-wheel drive vehicle to access the park from SH75 road in Piskova, as the paths remain in difficult condition.

The park contains eleven natural monuments and thermal springs in Langarica Canyon, where water temperatures reach 30 degrees Celsius.

Inception: 1996
