The European Union launched the Eco Routes project to promote sustainable transport and green tourism. The project supports regional development and aligns with the EU’s Green Deal and biodiversity goals.

As part of the “Reel the Site” campaign, the EU led a visit to the Topojan Waterfall. The visit highlighted how the project connects tourism with nature in a sustainable way.

Participants explored hiking trails developed by the project. These trails help people connect with nature and encourage cross-border tourism.

The project also built the Adventure Park in Shishtavec. The park offers outdoor activities for all ages. It attracts more visitors and boosts the local economy.

Eco Routes focuses on growing tourism in Kukës (Albania) and Rahovec (Kosovo). It brings the two regions together and positions them as eco-tourism destinations.

The project created a network of eco-trails. Cyclists, hikers, and public transport users can access these routes. The trails link national parks, cultural sites, and natural landmarks. The project built them with low environmental impact and local benefit in mind.

Eco Routes also promotes local products and small businesses. It encourages travelers to support local economies and respect nature and culture.

The project cuts pollution by promoting walking and cycling. It connects rural areas to cities and supports local growth. It also raises awareness of nature and heritage through eco-education and travel.

With Eco Routes, the EU empowers communities, protects the environment, and transforms the region into a model for sustainable tourism.
