Shala valley, part of protected areas for first time

TIRANA, May 12/ATA/ Shala River which flows along Shala valley for 36 km into the Lake Koman has become one of the most popular destinations of the local and foreign tourists during the recent years.

Minister of Tourism and Environment Mirela Kumbaro shared today in the social media views of this river, calling it the magic of the north.

“A tour along the Shala River, one of the magic of the north. The whole valley has become part of the protected areas for the first time. It gives us the opportunity not only to love it, but above all to take care of it”, said Kumbaro.

Shala Valley is attracting special attention due to its pristine nature and the many opportunities it offers. The local inhabitants of the area used to know it by the name “Guri i Lekës” which is related to the history of Lekë Dukagjini, a symbol of the province of Dukagjini.

What makes it so special is the fact that there is no telephone line or electricity line in the area. This makes tourists enjoy the beautiful nature and crystal water to the maximum, while capturing the most beautiful moments and fantastic landscapes on their phones or cameras.

You can beach only if you resist the low temperatures in the crystal clear water with an emerald green./k.s // a.a/p.s./
