Nikaj-Mërtur Regional Nature Park

The protected area spans 17,505 hectares of alpine landscapes with deep valleys, vertical cliffs, dense forests, small lakes, and rivers in northern Albania.

The park territory encompasses lands traditionally inhabited by the Nikaj and Mërturi tribes, who shaped the regional identity through generations.

Communities within the park boundaries maintain traditional agricultural practices and shepherd activities that date back hundreds of years in these mountains.

Access to the park requires careful planning as rural roads lead to various entry points, with basic accommodations available in surrounding villages.

The park forms an ecological corridor with Theth and Valbonë Valley National Parks, protecting habitats of endangered species like Eurasian lynx and brown bears.
