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.

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.

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

Alps - Valbona Valley is one of most spectacular places I have seen so far. This gem is located in North Albania, perfect place for hiking, trekking and climbing. Best time to visit is spring and autumn. The river in the photo is called Valbona River pure blue crystal clear water and pretty tasty too :) a place not to miss whilst visiting Albania. There are many traditional Albanian restaurants serving mouth watering, delicious organic food.
