Located in the northern part of Albania, not far from Shkoder and just a stone’s throw away from the spectacular Valbona Valley National Park, Lake Koman is in fact the artificial lake. It was created when the hydroelectric power station was built in the 1980s on the Drin River with the 133m high dam on one side, near Komani village, one of the 10 highest dams of this type in Europe.
You can access the Albanian Alps from the Komani Lake, starting from an altitude of 176 meters (Lake Koman) to 2694 meters above sea level (Jezerca), and to over 70 mountain peaks of over 2000 meters.
Inland water transport with ferries and boats for passengers and goods from Fierza and Koman is also developed. The emerald water, so clear that it looks unreal, meanders for over 70 kilometers through mountains, in the narrowest place surrounded by vertical canyon walls, the width is only 50 meters.
The place is also home to numerous species of animals and birds, if you are lucky you might spot them around when visiting Lake Koman.
