A tour to Komani Lake Albania: definitely worth a travel

A brief Intro

Lake Komani was formed when the rugged Drini valley was dammed in the early 1970s, allowing Albania to quickly develop its own industrial base and become an energy exporter. The huge lake behind the VauDejes dam contains some 320 million cubic meters of water, and stretches 30 km eastward to the town of Fierza, the location of a second dam which holds back another lake that goes all the way to Kukes near Kosovo border. The boat trip passes between 1000-1500m-high mountains and through a series of deep gorgeous and interconnected lakes, with hardly any signs of human activities on the shores – though occasionally the ferry will stop to let off some hardy.

What makes it special?

Lake Komani is one of the best scenic beauties that nature has created with the depth of water, serenity, and peace. A nature lover, a wanderlust, a gypsy soul person must never miss a visit to this Lake. It includes a boat ride and a stay at the lake.
