Running through the vibrant landscape of the Vlorë County, this 270 km stretch is renowned for its unspoiled nature, with meandering waters coursing through lush valleys and providing a habitat for numerous species.

Historical context enhances its allure, as the Vjosa basin has served as a life source for communities dating back to ancient times.
