A trip to Kruja city is absolutely essential for anyone planning to travel to Albania. Kruja stands as one of the most significant cities in Albania, most notably recognized as the birthplace of George Kastriota Skanderbeg - the most revered Albanian hero of all time. Even after 500 years, Albanians take immense pride in the fact that Skanderbeg and his warriors protected Kruja from the Ottomans until his demise. The city has distinct paths lined with wooden and stone shops, followed by a visit to Qafshtama National Park.
The park, which is named after the Qafe-Shtamë passage, spans across an area of 2000 hectares and boasts stunning mountain landscapes, predominantly comprised of pine forests, a few small lakes and major water sources. Created in 1996 by the Albanian government, the national park has increasingly become a favored destination for hiking.
