Highly recommend visiting this magical spot and enjoying the stunning views. There’s a 30-minute hike to a viewpoint, which I did with my 4.5-year-old son—he loved it and thought it was both beautiful and adventurous. I checked with the homestay and restaurant owner before heading up for advice. It’s doable with little ones, but careful supervision is a must. We stayed one night at Lake Bovilla, as that was all that was available. If we return, we’d definitely spend three nights to fully enjoy this fantastic place.

What travelers loved
This artificial lake, perched at around 1000 m in the mountains, is definitely worth a visit. You can reach it via a coach track using a 4×4 or SUV. There’s a high-altitude restaurant and bar nearby, and a short walk from there leads to a suspended platform...perfect for capturing stunning photos.

A mountain escape
We spent a beautiful day here. The experience is truly rewarding, but be prepare, it’s physically demanding. You need to be fit and ready, but every step is worth it.

Breathtaking vistas
A lovely lake with stunning views, though the journey isn’t easy—a long stretch of gravel road awaits. The climb to the viewpoint is challenging, especially with young children, but the breathtaking panorama makes every step worth it!

A quick escape from Tirana
One of my favorite spots near Tirana, just 20 km from the capital. The hike isn’t long—even for those who don’t usually hike and the view from the top is absolutely worth it.
