Attractions and Places To See in Parku Kombëtar I Malit Të Dajtit - Top 11

At the summit, you are greeted with sweeping, uninterrupted views of the entire reservoir and the sprawling green valleys below. On a clear day, the line of sight extends to the eastern flank of Dajti and, faintly, the foothills approaching Krujë. Mount Gamti itself rises to roughly 1,268 m; the trail tops out at the Balcony of Bovilla viewpoint at about 620 m, some 160 m above the trailhead.

From the steel balcony atop Mount Gamti, you have a spectacular view over the turquoise Bovilla Lake, the steep karst walls, and the deep canyon below. The platform literally hangs over the abyss, making the panorama extra impressive. The metal staircase forms the last short climb; at the top, an open, airy spot awaits with a clear view of the entire reservoir. Access is free, and the balcony is the iconic endpoint of the short hike from the Bovilla restaurant.

The last few meters to the Balcony of Bovilla viewpoint are via a set of metal stairs anchored directly into the rock face. It is a short but steep passage, technically simple but physically demanding due to the gradient. If you have a fear of heights, you can enjoy a similar panorama from the bottom, but those who take the stairs stand on a steel viewing deck that hangs spectacularly over the canyon.

The top of Maja e Tujanit is an open, rocky crown above the Dajti massif, where the path emerges from the forest zones and the mountain fully unfolds. From the highest point, you look over the ridge structure, the deep valleys, and the wide flanks towards Tirana. The terrain is rugged but easily walkable, with low vegetation and loose rocks that give the summit a distinct mountain character. A clear endpoint to the climb and a natural viewing platform in the middle of the national park. You have the same view here as from the viewpoint on Qafa e Qershisë. Unfortunately, the photos suffer from heavy smog.

The Tirana cable car climbs for fifteen minutes through oak and beech forests to the plateau of Mount Dajti. Along the way, the view opens up over the city, the valley, and on clear days, even to the Adriatic Sea. At the top is the recreation plateau with a panoramic terrace and the starting points for short forest walks and longer routes in the national park. The cable car itself is 4.7 km long and forms the direct access to the high-lying Dajti massif.

A beautiful waterfall where you can also swim. BUT: It is totally littered. People come for picnics and leave everything behind. Fast food packaging, plastic bottles and food scraps - simply disgusting. The icing on the cake is the donation box at the kiosk cart in the "parking lot": There, donations are requested in English, and ONLY in English, not in Albanian, for keeping the area clean. Find the mistake...

It's on Gamti mountain, not Dajti and don't underestimate the challenge of the hike's last part.

From the local mountain you have a beautiful view of the city of Tirana all the way to the Mediterranean Sea and Durres.
