TIRANA, October 9/ATA/ The nature park of the Shala valley has turned in recent years into one of the most attractive river destinations of the Albanian Alps.
The Administration of Protected Areas in Shkodra said to ATA that, “During the period January-September, this valley, which is traversed by the Shala River, was the preferred destination for 32,900 tourists, of which 21,040 were locals and 11,860 were foreigners.”
“The Shala Valley, a wild river area, which in recent years has been included in the guide-books of the tour agencies and is attracting extraordinary attention, due to its untouched nature and the many opportunities it offers”, said the Regional Agency of Protected Areas in Shkoda.
While visiting this valley, the travelers can explore the area by boat, climb the surrounding peaks with spectacular views, and take a dive in the fresh water of the Shala River, which runs through the valley.
Before the Shala Valley became so popular, the local residents of the area called it by the name “Leka’s Stone” which is related to the history of Lekë Dukagjini, a symbol of the Dukagjini province. What makes it special is the fact that there is no telephone or electricity connection in the area.
Thus, the tourists can fully enjoy the beautiful nature and crystal water while taking the most beautiful moments and fantastic landscapes on their cameras./k.s/p.s./
