Take a moment to think about these places - you probably didn't know!

Lake Komeni - A Man-Made Creation with Natural Beauty - Although it looks completely natural, Lake Komeni is actually an artificial reservoir created by the construction of a hydroelectric dam on the Drin River. Its formation created a spectacular fjord landscape with steep cliffs and narrow channels, which many do not know about its artificial origin.

Shala River - Underground Karst Springs - The stunning turquoise blue color of the Shala River stems from underground karst springs rich in minerals. This geological phenomenon creates a unique and rare appearance of incredibly clear water with a bright blue hue, not common in other rivers in the area.

Hidden Villages Along the Lake - Along Lake Komeni, there are small, isolated villages that are accessible mainly by boat. The residents of these villages live a traditional and peaceful lifestyle, cut off from the modern hustle and bustle, and offer a rare glimpse into authentic local culture.

Hidden caves and unique vegetation - In the Shale River area, there are small hidden caves along the canyon, and some of the vegetation growing on the cliffs is specially adapted to the unique geological conditions of the area.

Dramatic seasonal landscape changes - The landscape around Lake Komeni and the Shala River changes dramatically between the seasons. In spring, nature awakens and green vegetation envelops the slopes, while in autumn, the leaves change color, creating a spectacular palette of colors.
