The village of Tushemisht with the “Lady from the City” and the Drilon Natural Park have become a new ecotourism hub, not only for Pogradec but also for Korçë.

Driloni, or Voloreka as locals call it, is just 6 km from Pogradec. It is one of the country’s natural wonders and most beautiful attractions. Recent investments include nearly 4,000 meters of walking paths that have expanded the park’s area and highlighted its tourism potential.

Prime Minister Edi Rama shared on social media a special musical performance by the talented cellist from Korçë, Riçard Gedaj. The performance took place during a magical boat ride in the transformed Drilon Park.

Driloni is a karst spring made of three water streams that flow into the southeastern shore of Lake Ohrid. The largest stream creates a big water basin where visitors can walk, boat, and enjoy the rich flora and fauna.

The paths connect the entire area from the Drilon springs in the village of Gurras to the lakeside promenade of Ohrid.

Trees like elm, poplar, willow, and reed beds cool and purify the air. The ducks and other birds living in the park offer a beautiful natural landscape.

The area of the Tushemisht promenade and Drilon Park has expanded to 150 hectares, fully dedicated to tourism. It now features 13 new bridges, walking paths, bike lanes, 8,000 planted trees, and 5 km of navigable waterways for boats.
