Description

Ride the Dajti Cable Car, hike to Shëngjergj Waterfall, and enjoy a traditional lunch on this tour from Durrës or Golem.
Begin your adventure with a pickup from Durrës or Golem in the morning. Travel inland toward the edge of Tirana, enjoying scenic views of the countryside along the way.

Your first destination is the Dajti Ekspres Cable Car, the longest in the Balkans. Board the cable car for a smooth and scenic 15-minute ride as you ascend to the summit of Dajti Mountain. Take in breathtaking views over Tirana, farmlands, and surrounding peaks.

Once at the top, enjoy free time to explore the mountain area. Walk to the panoramic viewing terrace, visit Dajti Adventure Park (optional), enjoy a coffee or dessert at the rotating bar (optional), and snap stunning photos with 360° views of central Albania.

After your time on Dajti Mountain, meet your driver at the top station and continue the journey into the rural landscape of Tirana District.

Next, head to the village of Shëngjergj, nestled in the green hills beyond the city. After a short and easy hike through nature, arrive at the beautiful Shëngjergj Waterfall, a 30-meter cascade plunging into a crystal-clear natural pool. Breathe the fresh mountain air, take in the natural beauty, and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. You may even want to dip your feet in the cool stream.

Following the waterfall visit, enjoy a homemade Albanian lunch at a local village restaurant or guesthouse. You’ll be treated to a variety of traditional dishes like fresh bread, grilled meats or vegetables, cheese, seasonal salads, and mountain tea or raki. Vegetarian options are available upon request.

After lunch, relax on the return drive through picturesque countryside.
