Vjosë River

The Vjosë River, located in southeastern Albania, is one of the country's most significant waterways, stretching approximately 170 kilometers. It flows through diverse landscapes, including mountains, valleys, and wetlands, before emptying into the Adriatic Sea. The river is crucial for local ecosystems, supporting a wide variety of plant and animal species, and is renowned for its pristine, free-flowing condition, making it one of Europe's last un dammed rivers. Its natural beauty and ecological importance have led to efforts to protect and preserve its environment from development and pollution.
