Land of Eagles — Bovilla Lake Hiking Tour, Tirana

Just outside Tirana, hidden behind the mountains that frame the capital, lies one of Albania's most breathtaking natural secrets — Bovilla Lake. Surrounded by the rugged peaks of the Krrabë mountain range, this glacial reservoir is the main water source for the entire city of Tirana, and one of the most beautiful places within reach of the capital. Almost no tourists ever find it on their own.

This 6-hour guided hiking tour takes you from the heart of Tirana into the highlands of Bovilla — through dense forest trails, along ridgelines with panoramic views over the valley and the lake, and down to the water's edge where the silence and the scenery make it impossible to believe that a city of nearly a million people is just an hour away. An experienced local guide accompanies you throughout. Departure from OPA 9 Kateshet in Tirana.
