Shebenik National Park, National park in eastern Albania

The national park spans 34,507 hectares of mountainous terrain, containing glacial lakes, dense forests, alpine meadows, and elevations from 300 to 2,262 meters.

The park's geological formations were shaped during the Triassic and Jurassic periods, resulting in ultramafic and metamorphic rocks that define its current landscape.

Local communities maintain traditional practices including wood carving, stone crafting, traditional costume creation, and regional dance performances within the park boundaries.

The visitor center operates in Fushë Studë village with extended hours during summer from Monday to Thursday 9:00-5:00 and Friday to Sunday 9:00-7:00.

The Bushtrica River contains an endemic mountain trout species found nowhere else, while the Rrajca forests hold UNESCO World Heritage status for their beech trees.
