Hiking
Deep in the Albanian Alps, the Shalë River carves a narrow, green valley out of the limestone. The water remains strikingly clear and light blue, even in the shadow of the steep walls. Along the riverbed, boulders, still pools, and small rapids alternate. The landscape feels untouched and photogenic at the same time: a place where light, water, and stone constantly create new compositions.
