The Valbona river flows through the Valbona Valley national park. The crystal clear water is refreshingly cold! A nice spot to relax after a hike. #hiking #nationalpark #nature
Hotel Rilindja is one of the many places to stay in Valbona national park. The steep mountains on either side make for an impressive location. For more information, see journeytovalbona.com #hiking #nature #nationalpark
One of 700,000 concrete bunkers built in Albania between 1950 and 1985. This was to ensure that if Albania was ever invaded, local people would be able to defend their country. They are almost impossible to destroy, thus remain an integral part of the landscape. Saw several of then whilst hiking in Valbona national park #history #nature #hiking #nationalpark

Well, despite being told not to go because a) 'there isn't anything out there' and b) 'you shouldn't trust anyone in the area', I encourage you to head there and sleep there for one night. Why? Because of the green hills and red earth that surround this village, vilified in 'Taken' and 'Taken 2', which could serve as an excellent base camp for some hiking, plus the Kosovo border crossing is very close - if you're heading there. P.S. People are still very friendly, as is the case in the whole of Albania.
