This is the Fierza Dam (Diga e Fierzës) on the Drin river. The dam was completed in the late 1970s.
It is about 167 meters high, making it one of the largest dams in Albania.
The dam created a huge reservoir called Lake Fierza, which connects to Lake Koman.

If you have traveled by ferry from Koman to Fierza, then the cruise through the canyon sections of the Drin, often compared scenically to Norwegian fjords, ends precisely in this area.

For cyclists, the SH22 road from Fierza towards Kukës is a completely different landscape than the Koman canyons - more open views of the Fierza reservoir and long climbs. Many bike tourists use the ferry precisely as part of the route through northern Albania.
