Valbona Valley National Park
National park · Albania
A glacially carved valley in the Accursed Mountains (Bjeshkët e Namuna), its beech forest floor rising to limestone walls over 2,400m. The valley is the northern trailhead for the Peaks of the Balkans route, and October brings golden foliage to the valley floor before the high passes close for winter.
