TIRANA, August 31 /ATA/ There are more and more tourists who visit Lake Vau i Dejës. They are people who adore nature and want to explore the beauties it offers.

Prime Minister Edi Rama shared in the social media today a view of Lake Vau i Dejës which is becoming a tourist attraction and where the number of tourists has increased significantly in recent years.

Formed in 1971 by the Drini river water-collection, the lake extends through mountain gorges, making the landscape quite attractive. The surface of the lake is 24.7 km and has a depth of 52 meters. Vau i Dejës hydroelectric power plant has been built in it.

Visitors to this lake can enjoy everything from fishing to boat trips, or local products in the area’s restaurants.

One of the most visited areas are the ruins of the medieval city, which was once known as Sarda, today as Shurdhahu Island (or Shurdhahu Castle). It is the area where different cultures of Malësia, Mirdita or Zadrima come together and it is a very interesting place of exploration for anthropologists.
