In general, Albania is a mountainous country and is one of the most mountainous countries in the world. About two thirds of it are either hilly or mountainous. The highest peak of the country is called Mount Korabi, 2,751 m above sea level. Mount Korabi makes the perfect place for alpinism enthusiasts and those who want to challenge themselves. Also, the cliffs of Llogara are a must for paragliding lovers and are internationally recognized as one of the best places in the Balkans for paragliding.

For me, camping is never too much. You either love it or hate it and I am very glad to be in the first group. I must say that camping for me it's a way to get closer to nature and to your own country. Albanian nature is breathtakingly beautiful and you have hundreds of places to just go, set up a tent and have an amazing time near the fire, alone or with a group of friends.
