Valbonë Valley National Park

The national park spans 8000 hectares across the Albanian Alps, featuring steep mountain peaks, dense forests, and the 50-kilometer Valbona River valley.

The area, designated as a national park in 1996, served as a significant trade route through the Albanian Alps, connecting different regions of northern Albania.

The village of Valbona contains 30 traditional houses with thick stone walls and wooden alpine roofs, representing northern Albanian mountain architecture.

Visitors can reach the park through a 6-hour journey from Tirana, including a ferry trip across Lake Koman and a drive through Bajram Curri town.

The Rragami waterfall marks the source of the Valbona River, while brown forest lands extend between 500 and 1200 meters in altitude.
