The biggest attraction of the city of Kruje is the impressive ruins of a fortress, picturesquely situated atop a cliff. It was here that George Kastriota Skanderbeg, the Albanian hero of the fight against the Ottoman Empire, was born. The highlight of the day-long trip was a visit to Lake Bovilla, located in the Dajti Mountains National Park. A relaxing swim in the crystal-clear waters and the breathtaking panorama from the viewing platform were worth the effort of the climb.
