TIRANA, April 19 /ATA/ The Gashi River in Tropoja has become a favorite destination for local and foreign visitors.
Prime Minister Edi Rama shared today in the social media photos of this world treasure protected by the UNESCO.
The head of the government emphasized that the Gashi River unites the rare beauties of nature with adventure-loving tourists accompanied by professional guides.
The Gashi River, declared as a protected area in 1996 and since 2017 part of the UNESCO World Heritage network, is considered a natural wonder.
