Albania will gain a new network of panoramic viewpoints in its protected areas. The National Agency for Protected Areas (AKZM) leads the project. It aims to give visitors richer, educational, and awareness-raising nature experiences.

AKZM said the project, titled “Panoramic Viewpoints in the Network of Protected Areas: Study, Improvement, Maintenance,” will cover 12 counties. It will focus on strategic sites with high natural and scenic value, including Kapinovë (Berat), Lura Valley (Dibër), Divjakë–Karavasta (Fier), and Kallabak Mountain (Kukës), among others.

The first technical meeting with experts for project design has already taken place. This meeting officially starts the work on this nature and tourism vision.

The viewpoints will feature lightweight structures built from eco-friendly materials. They will minimize environmental impact.

Visitors will use them to observe nature and learn about biodiversity and the importance of protecting natural heritage.

This initiative is part of a broader strategy to develop tourism infrastructure in protected areas. It will diversify Albania’s tourist offerings beyond traditional coastal destinations.
