The Hidden
"Niagara Falls"
of Albania
"If you like to chase waterfalls while traveling, Sotira Waterfall might just be the most spectacular waterfall in Albania." (Swedish Nomad)
Be one with nature at this one-of-a-kind natural site. Waters flow from the legendary Mount Tomorr into rugged limestone cliffs; creating the Sotira Waterfall.
Take the easy hike from Sotira Village with fresh air and beautiful scenery.
Its waters fall from various heights of 20-100 meters, hitting the cliffs below at different speeds and creating an unforgettable, hypnotic scene. The water comes from caves within the mountain and nobody knows the source. Locals believe this is a gift from God.
Spend the day in Sotira and make a picnic in one of the many viewpoints.
Safety Information:

Visitors must be in good health and able to hike 5 km.
