Environment Minister Sofjan Jaupaj shared images of the area on social media, highlighting its natural significance. The site has been designated a natural monument.
“A landscape carved by time, where canyons, greenery and cool, clear waters come together, reminding us that some of Albania’s most beautiful treasures remain far from the crowds, in unspoilt nature,” Jaupaj wrote.

Gryka e Vajës lies at an elevation of around 120 metres above sea level and is approximately 1 km long and 200 metres deep. Its steep slopes and pronounced karst features give the area significant geological value. Formed by the erosion caused by the Droja stream through limestone rock, the gorge is characterised by rugged canyons, karst formations and a rich natural landscape.
