2019 august: Albania - Shkoder
From Saranda in the far south of Albania we drove to Shkoder in the north.
We covered the distance of approx. 730 km on a hard day. The trip mostly led along the totally crowded Albanian Riviera. In summer, all Albanians are driven to the coast. We were happy to be able to leave this section behind.
Shkoder is a city in northern Albania. It is located directly on Lake Shkoder and is the starting point for tours in the Albanian Alps. The old Mesi stone bridge from the Ottoman period on the outskirts of the city is also very interesting.
