Full description

The adventure begins with a short drive to the Dajti Cable Car Lower Station. From here, ride the cable car up Mount Dajti and enjoy spectacular panoramic views over Tirana, the surrounding countryside, and the mountains. Alternatively, remain in the vehicle and travel directly to the top of Dajti National Park.

Enjoy around 1 hour of free time at Dajti National Park. Take a peaceful walk through the fresh mountain air, admire the views, or relax at one of the bars and restaurants at the top. The guide will meet you again at the agreed time.

The journey then continues to Shengjergj, a picturesque mountain village near Tirana, surrounded by forests, rolling hills, and unspoiled nature.

From the main road, a gentle 15–20-minute walk leads to Shengjergj Waterfall. The easy trail winds through lush greenery before reaching this beautiful hidden spot, where the sound of falling water creates a peaceful escape from the city.

Spend some time at the waterfall taking photos, relaxing in nature, or, during the warmer months, enjoying a refreshing swim in its cold mountain waters.

The experience can be completed with a traditional lunch at a local restaurant in Shengjergj, offering a chance to taste authentic local flavours in a relaxed village setting. Alternatively, enjoy some free time in the village before the return journey to Tirana.
