4021, Tirana
Been here?
This is a small pull-off in a bend with a view of the lake and valley. The approach is extremely rough, narrow and steep, with 5km taking about 40 minutes in one recent account. Large campers may find the route difficult, and a 6.50m vehicle was specifically discouraged. The ground is slightly sloping and 4G reception is weak.

Lay-by on a hairpin bend. We drove on; a few bends farther up there is a larger area.
If we had known how terrible the road here is and how crowded it already is on the weekend, we would have spared ourselves the ordeal. We drove here in a 6.50 m coachbuilt motorhome and would not recommend it to anyone!
Before arriving here, prepare to drive 5 km in 40 minutes; the road is catastrophic! If I had to do it again, I don't think we would come here in a van. The spot is nice but dirty, as everywhere in Albania, you might say. Weak 4G reception. Viewpoint at the top of the hairpins.
The route there is really adventurous and a real ordeal for a camper. In winter the journey was not worthwhile because it rained the whole time; it probably looks different in summer. From the north, the road is worse than when approaching from the south.
The location isn’t worth the way according to me. The lake is beautiful but the valley can be seen from other locations. If you don’t have a 4x4, take the south road (which is bumpy but still ok) not the north road (which you’ll get stuck in, it’s only rocks and very steep).
Beautiful view. It is a long bumpy road but you can get there with a camper. Mine was 6m and thats fine. if you go all the way to the restaurant, it is a bit more adventurous but still it is possible. We did not have 4x4.
Accessible with a small van. Anything larger is more complicated. Slightly sloping ground on a hairpin bend with a beautiful view of the lake.
The journey is manageable even without 4x4 when dry. Unfortunately, swimming is not allowed according to the signs, and there is a lot of rubbish by the water. If you only want to hike or enjoy nature, it is a top spot.
We have a 4x4, which made it easy for us. The road is easily passable, but it climbs very steeply. In my opinion, it is not suitable for a motorhome. The view from up there is magnificent; we had a beautiful evening with a sublime full moon.
Dont know what people are one about that you need 4x4. Yes the road has a lot of of potholes and you have to make way for other vehicles on the road since it is very narrow but completely managable with opel vivaro camper. People are driving fiat 500 polo corsa clio all day long and nobody has 4x4. Its only hard if you dont know how to drive... its also a beautiful spot but quite busy with traffic
We got stuck on the climb 5.2 km from the restaurant! Above all, do not attempt it in a 7 m motorhome; the road, or rather track, is the worst in Europe that we have driven so far! 4x4 only! Beautiful place, but only in photos unfortunately.
In my opinion, the steep gravel track is only suitable for 4x4 vehicles. It was barely manageable with a T5.
The view of this place is incredible. Bad road but manageble with a Ducato if you drive slow. You can expect no privacy on this parking, very popular viewpoint. Plenty of tourist buses whole day. Also weird how it's forbidden to swim here when there are boats roaming around there??
A solid spot by the lake. There is, of course, quite a bit of rubbish, but the view is very beautiful.
