We spend the days on the river stages of Cemi, Cijevna, Dushit, Kir and Valbona. Here, technical slalom courses entice you through large bouldering gardens in front of a panorama that is in no way inferior to the Dolomites. The difficulties range from white water II to demanding routes with the fourth level of difficulty. So we'll be sure to find the right sections for you!
We spend the night a quarter of an hour's drive from the city directly on the beautiful Lake Shkodra. In the evening there is delicious food in the nearby town or we stay at the camp, take care of ourselves and go to the local restaurant. And there are campfires at the Albanian soca, the Valbona. Promised!
