Osum Canyon, Natural canyon in Skrapar District, Albania.

The Osum Canyon extends for 13 kilometers through limestone formations, with vertical walls reaching heights of 70 to 80 meters above the river.

The formation of Osum Canyon dates back approximately 2 to 3 million years ago through water erosion processes at an altitude of 450 meters.

Local inhabitants have named specific rock formations within the canyon, including structures called the Cathedral, the Eye, and the Demon's Door.

Spring offers optimal conditions for rafting and exploring waterfalls, while summer provides opportunities for swimming in natural pools along the canyon.

The canyon contains six narrow passages, with sections ranging from 1.5 meters at the riverbed to 35 meters in width at higher elevations.
