The Pheasant Forest in Maliq, just 10 km from Korçë, is one of southeastern Albania’s most interesting natural sites. It hosts pheasants, wild rabbits, squirrels, foxes, and a variety of trees including poplars, alders, boxwoods, pines, and firs.

Prime Minister Edi Rama shared footage today of the newly paved and lit road leading from Maliq to the forest. The improvements make it easier for visitors to explore this scenic area and observe wildlife.

The forest holds the status of a natural monument. Its pheasants, which give the site its name, are a key attraction.

Clean air, stunning landscapes, and seasonal colors—from winter whites to spring greens and autumn shades—draw visitors from nearby and distant areas.

The forest is ideal for family picnics, educational activities, and outdoor relaxation. During summer, it offers cool relief and attracts both locals and tourists seeking a break from city life.
