Upper valley ยท Upper Valbona Valley, 4 km upstream from village
The source of the Valbona river emerges from a canyon in the upper valley: ice-cold, crystal-clear water surging from the limestone bedrock. The walk up from the village (4 km each way, gentle gradient) is spectacular and dogs swim at the emerald pool by the source.
๐ก The source pool is deep and has a strong current at the outlet; let dogs swim in the calmer inlet side rather than the main outflow
