A year or so ago, during my visit to Albania, I decided to take a spontaneous leap and join one of the mountain tours offered from Tirana. It turned out to be a great decision. What awaited me was a breathtaking escape into nature's untouched masterpiece. Nestled away from the hustle and bustle, these mountains offer more than just scenic views; they provide a deep sense of tranquility that’s hard to find elsewhere.
From the moment I arrived, the sheer beauty of the landscape captivated me. The towering peaks, cloaked in shades of green and dotted with wildflowers, seemed to touch the sky. As I walked along the winding trails, each step brought new wonders: clear, sparkling streams weaving their way through the valleys, the whisper of the wind through ancient pines, and the occasional sight of a shepherd guiding his flock—a reminder of the timeless traditions that still thrive here.
The trails led me to viewpoints that offered sweeping vistas of untouched nature—lush forests stretching as far as the eye could see, with the distant peaks standing majestically against the horizon. It was as if time stood still, allowing me to fully absorb the serene beauty of the surroundings.
In these moments, I found more than just beautiful scenery; I found clarity, peace, and a renewed sense of wonder. The Albanian mountains reminded me of the importance of slowing down, embracing the present, and finding joy in the natural world around us. It was a journey of reconnecting with nature and myself.
Here are some of the pictures from my trip that capture the serene beauty of the Albanian mountains. If you ever get the chance, I highly recommend taking one of these tours—it's a journey you won’t regret!
With Love,
Anja
