The Journey
The land of eagles
The starting point of our 4x4 off-road journey through Albania is a beautiful campsite by Lake Shkodra, not far from the town of Shkodra of the same name. Here begins our off-road tour through the Balkans of Southeastern Europe. The first highlight is Theth National Park, an idyllic village in the Shkodra region in northern Albania, is located secluded among the impressive peaks of the Shala mountains and is hardly accessible in winter, during heavy snowfall. After breakfast with plenty of coffee, we set off, freshly strengthened, for our off-road adventure. Along the way, we discover and admire the countless natural wonders that Albania has to offer, including the impressive Shala Gorge. Lake Koman, a reservoir of the Drin River in northern Albania, is surrounded by steep cliffs, densely wooded hills, and deep gorges. The approximately three-hour ferry ride offers breathtaking views of the surrounding nature. After leaving the ferry, we continue our 4x4 off-road journey and reach the next campsite in the late afternoon.

Days 1–4
Tag 1
Unsere abenteurliche 4x4-Albanien-Tour ist eine Mischung aus Offroad-Strecken auf abgelegenen Schotterstraßen, die die Bergdörfer miteinander verbinden, und kurzen Asphaltabschnitten. Immer wieder erreichen wir hohe Gipfel und überwinden anspruchsvolle Streckenabschnitte. Übernachten werden wir inmitten der Natur, oft an einem Fluss oder einem Bergsee.
Tag 2
In der Kleinstadt Gramsh erwartet uns eine Hotelübernachtung, bevor wir unsere nächste Tour starten. Sie führt uns durch ein weitgehend trockenes Flussbett, das etwa 34km lang ist, hinauf zum Tomorr-Berg, der 2.464m hoch ist. Atemberaubende Ausblicke und spannende Offroad-Strecken erwarten uns hier.

Our tour guide is happy to answer any questions about the day-by-day route, stops, and details.
Tag 3
Unsere Route führt weiter über Berat und Corovoda zu den atemberaubenden Osumi-Schluchten. Diese Canyons sind ein beeindruckendes Naturschauspiel. In den heißen Quellen von Përmet (medizinisches Thermalwasser) lassen wir die Seele baumeln und genießen das warme Wasser. Die Festung von Gjirokastra ist auch sehenswert, da sie reich an Geschichte ist. Außerdem besichtigen wir die antike Stadt Butrint, die von den Venezianern und Illyrern erbaut wurde.
Tag 4
Am letzten Tag unserer Albanien-Offroad-Tour erreichen wir unser Ziel im südöstlichen Teil des Landes, in der Region um Çorovode oder Përmet. Hier genießen wir die albanische Riviera und lassen die Eindrücke der letzten Tage Revue passieren. Damit endet unser 4x4-Abenteuer durch Albanien.
