Backpacking in Albania: Taking The Komani Lake Ferry
Having completed the Theth to Valbona hike, getting back to Shkodra involved taking the Komani Lake Ferry from Fierze to Koman.
Theth to Valbona, the most spectacular hike in Albania and then top it off by taking the ferry on Lake Komani which is probably the most scenic ferry ride in Europe outside of Norway:
Lake Koman is a reservoir on the Drin River constructed between 1979 to 1988 and stretches 21miles from Fierze to Koman.
Sit back and enjoy the ride. Pick up some snacks at the café in Fierze.
The Lake Komani Ferry stops at the Koman dam, one of 3 on the Drin river. And there awaits the transport to Shkodra.
