Albania's Bajram Curri - golden gateway to another world
In the north of Albania, where the mountains touch the sky and the clouds rest on their peaks, lies the town of Bajram Curri – a golden gateway to another world, CE Report quotes Kosova Press.
This isn’t just a place you see – it’s one you feel, hear, and carry in your heart.
Bajram Curri, nestled among towering mountains, is surrounded by nature that simply sweeps you away. The Valbona River, crystal-clear and wild, flows nearby, whispering through age-old stones. Sitting by the river brings a peace rarely found elsewhere.
Time slows here. It’s measured by the mountains, rivers, and air, not by clocks.
The Valbona Valley is like an open book calling travelers from around the world. Its famous hiking trails lead to Valbona Pass, Theth, and remote green villages. Hiking here is more than a sport — it’s a journey that connects you to the earth and silence.
On the Valbona Trail, travelers from all over meet. A group of German tourists said:
“This is one of the last real places in Europe.”
Just outside Bajram Curri lies the Tyrbe of Dervish Luzha, a serene and spiritual sanctuary, where silence becomes a form of prayer.
In the north, hospitality is not a product — it’s a tradition. Tables are filled with white cheese, warm milk, fresh bread, wild honey, and lamb from free pastures. A tourist becomes a guest, a guest becomes a friend, and the friend becomes family.
And when you leave, take a bottle of Valbona water — not just a souvenir, but a feeling that stays with you. Because here, you don’t just find destinations — you find states of being.
