#tripaway Mirdita, one of the most virgin and beautiful provinces in Albania, with all-round above-ground and underground resources, with enviable mountain springs and climate, with rich flora and fauna, invites and welcomes friends, as it knows how to wait. The Durrës-Morinë highway, about 70 km of which cross the territory of Mirdita, is also a chance that creates opportunities for the use of mountain tourist resources that Mirdita has. Also the numerous works of art, give rare beauty to the whole valley of the Little Fan that traverses it. The relief of this area in the whole geographical belt, from the mountains of Kaçinar, Munella, Zepa, Bjeshkët e Oroshit, Valmor, Kroi i Bardhë to the top of Kunora, is distinguished for a diverse development of karst processes. The most special is the Uraka Stream Valley (a tributary of the Mat River), on the slopes of which are some of the most important caves. There are dozens of caves in this belt, each more interesting than the other and very complicated. Archaeological finds belonging to the Neolithic period have been discovered by chance by non-specialists in the Mercury cave, but unfortunately these findings have not aroused interest among specialists in the field. The exception is the Kusia cave of Ndue Gjoni between Mërkurth and Kurbnesh, on the left of the Uraka Stream, which was discovered and studied in 1994 by a group of Roman speleologists, together with Albanian speleologists. The study is not yet complete. According to researchers, the cave has great scientific, cultural, didactic and tourist values. It has therefore been declared a natural monument. #visitalbania #tripaway

#tripaway For years, Shengjin has been at the top of the preferences for local and foreign vacationers. All this from the good work that has been done in urban development and systematization, cleaning the beaches, improving the infrastructure, services for tourists, etc. The city of Shengjin, with its beaches and lagoons, quality hotels and restaurants and entertainment facilities are the main destination for vacationers. The Virginity of the Cast Sand 1.0 THE SAND THREE The beach of the Cast Sand in Shengjin, is one of the most beautiful areas to spend the summer holidays and is considered by the locals as an "Adriatic oasis". This environment starts from Guri i Marka Nikës to Guri i Camës. It has a length of 3 kilometers. It starts with a small sand dune (sand dune) that reaches a height of 2-3 meters, followed by a Mediterranean pine forest. They create a green belt at a length of 500 meters. Further, the pine belt is interrupted. In the form of a pyramidal site are the dunes that go up to 5 meters, where the mountain slope in a large area is "covered". The highest dune reaches from 80 meters to 100 meters, located on the western slope of the hills of Mount Rrenc. This is a wonderful place, with somewhat coarse, clean sand, untouched by human hand. Here besides the sea and the sun, you can also enjoy the relaxing landscape, the blue sea in the spaces up to Cape Rodon. In this environment for the summer season serves a cafe-restaurant. The road to Rana e Hedhun (Thrown Sand) is: Shengjin-Navy road-former military anti-aircraft unit in the northwestern direction along the Rrenc mountain. The extension of the road leads to Velipoja-Shkodra Beach. #visitalbania#beautifulalbania #tripaway

#tripaway One of the destinations that in recent years has had a significant increase in the number of tourists is Cape Rodoni, located just a few kilometers from Tirana. This high peninsula-shaped strip of land stretches across the Adriatic Sea and offers attractive landscapes as well as several historical and cultural monuments of special importance. If during the spring the Cape starts and wears it all from a fairytale flower carpet, during the summer not a few are the ones who choose this place because of the virgin beach and the clean and fine sand. Skanderbeg Castle The cape, which is surrounded by living shrines about 25 meters high, is also known for Skanderbeg Castle. The castle located right by the sea was built by Skanderbeg around 1450 - 1452, in order to have a faster exit to the Adriatic in case of an Ottoman conquest. According to a treaty signed on February 4, 1462, in case of war with the Turks Ragusa would help Skenderbeu with its fleet that would be sent exactly to Rodon. According to Barletti's manuscripts, this castle existed until 1467, before the Turks came and destroyed it. The Venetians rebuilt the castle after 1500, and this has enabled it to arrive to this day in fairly good condition. Church of St. Anthony Very close to the Cape is the Church of St. Anthony, a monument that historically belongs to the same period of construction as that of the Castle. This building has a Romanesque-Gothic type of architecture, and today you can see traces of frescoes and other interesting elements. Thanks to the positioning near the Cape and the sea, the views that accompany the Church are truly impressive. For all its historical, cultural and geographical values, Cape Rodon is the best choice for a relaxing weekend. #visitalbania #beautifulalbania #tripaway
