Lake Koman, Hydroelectric reservoir in northern Albania

The water body extends across 34 square kilometers through limestone canyons, reaching depths of 115 meters between steep mountain walls.

The construction of the Koman Dam between 1979 and 1988 created this reservoir, transforming the local landscape and establishing new transportation routes.

Local communities around Lake Koman maintain traditional fishing practices and operate small passenger boats to connect isolated mountain settlements.

The ferry service runs daily between Koman and Fierza, with a journey time of two and a half hours through narrow mountain passages.

Three rivers converge in this reservoir: the Drin, Shala, and Valbona, creating a network of deep water channels between vertical cliff faces.

Location: Iballe
