“Wanderlust in Albania 2” Showcases Holtë Canyon, Sotira Waterfall and Dushku Lake

Albania has become a top travel destination. Visitors choose not only the beaches but also natural monuments surrounded by breathtaking landscapes.
Prime Minister Edi Rama shared social media footage highlighting Gramsh’s natural beauty. The video was produced by Julian Shyqyriu for the international photo and video contest *“Wanderlust in Albania 2.”*
Rama praised the visuals: “Gramsh’s natural treasures—Holtë Canyon, Sotira Waterfall, thermal springs, and Dushku Lake—come alive through Julian Shyqyriu’s lens.”
The contest returned for its second edition, inviting photographers and videographers worldwide to capture Albania’s beauty. Professionals and amateurs from Albania and 36 countries submitted stunning images and reels showcasing the country’s natural, cultural, and historical heritage.
Holtë Canyon, in the heart of Gramsh, is a top natural tourism attraction. Its unique landscape, rich biodiversity, and pristine beauty draw thousands of local and foreign visitors each year.
Sotira Waterfall, at the foot of Mount Tomorr, is one of Albania’s most beautiful waterfalls. It features three streams flowing from heights of 20–100 meters, creating a spectacular sight. The water forms the Sotira River below.
Gramsh also offers thermal springs and Dushku Lake, a glacial lake near Lenie village at 1,105 meters above sea level. The lake stretches 800 meters long and 400 meters wide. Its rich ecosystem includes large water lilies, symbols of life, passion, love, and purity.
