Hiking and Camping at the Kollagjeshi Lakes

The Kollagjeshi Lakes, located in the southeast of Tirana, lie above the village of Vakumonë at an altitude of 1,157 meters, in an area known for its natural beauty and ecological importance, making it a great destination for hiking and camping.

The trail begins with a 620-meter elevation gain through a chestnut forest, where the majestic Mali i Fagut (Beech Mountain) at 1,446 meters rises into view.

These lakes are part of a rich ecosystem and offer a very relaxing landscape, with clean, calm waters surrounded by forests.

Hiking and camping at the Kollagjeshi Lakes are especially rewarding for those seeking tranquility and immersion in a pristine environment.
