Absolutely truly amazing view and experience! First i will say that hiking to this place is really really dangerous. The road by car is also not maden good. I advise people to leave their cars in the middle and walk by feet. You literally have to hike with legs and hands which is i repeat again very dangerous. Not accessible for people that have some kinda physical problem. I dont understand why the city dont build something or made the place little bit safer. There are builden some stairs but without absolutely no sense. They are maden in the middle of the hike. To reach the stairs you have to hike a lot and harder. Not to mention for going back down. Choose a good wheather when wasnt rainy last days so the ground and the stones where you hike to be dry and safety. Also bring a good pair hiking shoes and a camera. The view just blow my mind!

(Translated by Google) Lake Bovilla is located in the north of Tirana. The water purification plant that supplies the city of Tirana has been built there. (Original) Liqeni I Bovilles ndodhet ne veri te Tiranes. Aty eshte ndertuar impjanti I pastrimit te ujit qe furnizon qytetin e Tiranes.

Views it's amazing, you need a little hiking to take some beautiful picture. Fresh air and fresh water. Everything i liked it but if it's some reason i give 4 star for people they do not maintain the environment by throwing garbage everywhere. Another reason it's if you have a small car don't go road it's bad condition. I hope that my review will be valid for people who want to visit this place soon. And before I forget my Dog enjoy it a lot 🙂

Most beautifull lake in Albania Not so far away from Tirana, it's easily reachable by car or bicycle. If you are lucky on the weather and are on a sunny day, I highly recommand you to follow the hiking trail for 10 minutes untill you reach the rocks that give you an overview over the lake. It's also a nice place to rest or eat on the grass while enjoying the beauty of the lake.

Beautiful nature and view. The lake is 40 minutes by car from Tirana about 20 km. In the last 6 km asphalt has broken and the road is not very stable. After you reach to lake level, Bovilla is one of the best climbing terrain near to Tirana. If you are not going there in summer, it's better to take water and some snacks with you. There is a small bar-restaurant option in spring and summer at the lake level. Also almost ever weekend you can see groups from Tirana riding by bike to Bovilla.

One of the most beautiful places that I’ve ever visited in my life! It’s about one hour from the capital city, I would recommend to go with a big car such as 4x4, as the road to go there it’s quite difficult! It’s definitely worth a visit! Furthermore on top of it there is nice restaurant from where you can have a nice meal. I would encourage everybody to visit Albania and especially this place!

The Bovilla reservoir (Albanian: Ujëmbledhësi i Bovillës) is a 4.6 km2 reservoir in Albania, approximately 9 miles (14 km) northeast of Tirana and southeast of Kruja, within mount Dajti national Park It provides most of the drinking water for Tirana. The reservoir is formed by a dam of the river Tërkuzë, a tributary of the Ishëm. The Tërkuzë has its source to the east of the outer chain of the coastal mountain range, running through the deep Shkallë e Bovillës canyon between Mount Maja e Gomtitit (1268 m) and Mount Mali i Bjeshit (1239 m). The dam stands at the entrance to this canyon and is made from local konglomerate , gravel and sand. It is 91 m high and 130 m long.

Amazing Place

Lake Bovilla (Bovilla reservoir) is one of the most amazing hidden gems of Albania. This reservoir provides most of the drinking water for the capital of Albania, Tirana. Located around 15 km from the capital of Albania, Tirana makes the place very reachable. You can go there for a picnic or if you want some more adventures you can hike to the Gamti mountain where the view of Bovilla Lake is amazing.

Amazing lake! Color of water is wow. The road to the lake is quite challenging but it totally worth it!

A very beautiful place to visit. You can go by car, and it will be a short trip from Tirana. To be able to take a sneak peak of the magnificent peisage, you have to walk for about half an hour to the top of the rock above the lake. The path is easy to find and marked with international path signs all the way to the top. The climbing it is not dificult but it's not recomandable if you have any kids with you

It's the best place to spend a day in tranquility. Beautiful!

What a beautiful location! Definitely worth visiting. Stunning scenery and not busy at all which makes it more enjoyable. Easy to reach from Tirana also without a 4x4 car (we had a skoda fabia). There are some tricky spots, but as long as you drive slow and carefully it is doable (summer time). A must do in the Tirana area!

Wonderful landscape. Loved it. It is very nice for hiking , bbq, picnic, camping. From the top it has an amazing view. It is a great place not very far from Tirana. A great ide to spent the weekend and relax and enjoy the good weather and beautiful view.

This place its amazing, I'm in love with Albania❤

I would recommend to hike Gamti mount so you can have the breathtaking landscape of Bovilla reservoir.

A nice escape from the city! It was a short trip from Tirana and an awesome place for a picnic and a hike. The view from the top was breathtaking. In June the road was still under construction but we didn't have any problems reaching the destination.

Super views on the top ??????

Amazing

A perfect relaxing place to visit.

(Translated by Google) Very nice place. It should definitely be visited by people who love adventure but also those who want to spend a quiet day in nature. (Original) Vend shume i bukur. Duhet vizituar patjeter nga persona te cilet e duan aventuren por edhe ato qe duan te kalojne nje dite te qete ne natyre.

Great lake and open park

(Translated by Google) Very nice place to a big half hour from Tirana. The road to get there is very hilly, full of holes. It's a shame but it is also what must preserve this site. (Original) Très jolie place à une grosse demi-heure de Tirana. La route pour y aller est très accidentée, remplie de trous. C'est dommage mais c'est aussi ce qui doit préserver ce site.

Fantastic place for begginer Hiking. The place is fine also for a Barbecue or for spending a marvellous weekend. The views are stunning and marvellous. Its just 40 minutes from Tirana and everyone should see and enjoy the nature there. Highly recommended.

Very nice place with fascinating views! But nowadays they are repeating a road to this place and it’s not always open, so take it into consideration when you are planing routs. Otherwise you have to leave a car in 3 kilometers and walk. But it worth, nature is amazing

The amazing nature landscape of bovilla reservoir! The resovoir serves for supply Tirana City with water. Sure Tirana is big city and the bovilla resovoir cover half of city. This resovoir take place in Zallbastar area and little part from Kruja mountains. I will listed a great nature monumet attraction place to visit! You can hike a gamti mountain for a greater view of the resovoir. Also you can enjoy the dam that have beautiful view in a middle of to mountains

Really nice

Beautiful lake with stunning views, the road to the lake is a bit sketchy but worth the adventure!

Must see!

Nice and peaceful place! Amazing views and a lot of opportunities for outdoor activities!

A nice place and view

View from the sky..

(Translated by Google) A great place to commune with nature (Original) Super miejsce na obcowanie z przyroda

Important for the ride: Do not approach from the north. The route is only suitable for 4x4. Approach the lake only from the south and turn around at the restaurant at the latest. Even the way from the south is mostly unpaved and gravel, but doable with a normal car / van. And then: Enjoy the view!

Great view

(Translated by Google) very beautiful (Original) çok güzel

(Translated by Google) Super Landscape. Far too far from the loud city, it finds pristine nature still from human hands, tranquility and relaxation. (Original) Super peizash. Shume pak larg qytetit te zhurmshem, gjen natyren e pacenuar ende nga dora njerezore, qetesine dhe relaksin.

Really beautiful reservoir but wow the road is really bad.

Nice trip yet require good reliable car and some physical fitness, however it worth trying

Must see

I liked the view but I wouldn't go again just because of the road.

Needs more investment, but wonderful natural beauty

Such a calm place ❤

Excellent place for a bbq, short hike with an amazing and paceful view

Beautiful experience, Albania 🇦🇱 Nature, Visit Albania!

For this trip just take better car,4x4, but the lake is so beautiful and the color is amazing,it is worth it

Must do! But definitely need a big car to drive down the dirt track to get there

One of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. The drive is a bit difficult, but worth it. This is a must if you are visiting Albania

Beautiful mountain and color lake !

(Translated by Google) Beautiful and beautiful view and sweet sessions about this place I would recommend to visit (Original) منظر جميل و خلاب و جلسات حلوة حول هذا المكان انصح بزيارته

Its just wow! Go there and have a picnic or hiking!

Nce

Good view but the road was a little damaged. Worth visiting for a weekend

Beautiful place for a sunday

A quit natural place to spend a beautiful day and to enjoy the Albanian nature. Bovilla’s lake is such a good place to capture some good photos.

Beautiful nature.

(Translated by Google) Wonderful place (Original) Posto meraviglioso

The place offers an absolute peace of mind. Beautiful panoramic view. Great for groups haunting outdoor experiences. It is very difficult to get here. Mostly by 4x4 and hiking.

(Translated by Google) miracle (Original) Mrekulli

(Translated by Google) Wonderful place, beautiful view of the water surface. The only thing that bothered me was the presence of all possible garbage all around. The way to the water reservoir, which supplies Tirana with water, is a bit non-standard, in addition, the pipeline was repaired, so it runs by shuttle. Definitely worth a visit. (Original) Kouzelné místo, krásný pohled na vodní hladinu. Jediné co mi vadilo byla přítomnost všech možných odpadků úplně všude kolem. Cesta k vodní nádrži, která zásobuje vodou Tiranu je trošku nestandardní, navíc se zde opravovalo potrubí, takže se jezdí kyvadlove. Určitě stojí za návštěvu.

Super

Amazing!

Amazing view

Great

Amazing view!

(Translated by Google) Clear water, quiet surroundings, the access road is a bit adventurous, but it definitely pays off. (Original) Klares Wasser, ruhige Umgebung, die Zufahrtsstraße ist ein bisschen abenteuerlich, es zahlt sich aber definitiv aus.

A i madh

Nice place to have a picnic. However the road is excavated and polluted from the recent work that is made for the new water pipes that are putting along the road.

Gorgeous view for a short hike. The road to get there though needs a jeep or something.

its panoramic , natyre was good , road was alittle disturbing , air was fresh

Amazing view!

(Translated by Google) A place I would not recommend to visit and the road is very bumpy (Original) مكان لا انصح بزيارته و الطريق وعر للغايه ??????

(Translated by Google) This is not a poppy place, with an easy climb to the top. True, we did not reach the end quite a bit, because of a 4-year-old child. Since initially they did not expect that the climb is so simple. Therefore, they did not plan to climb and did not prepare water and more comfortable shoes. If not for this, I think we could rise to the very top. The place captivates with its beauty. We got by car, quite high, on the dirt road (above the cafe). We spent the night there in a tent, at the end of September. There are many flat areas in the walnut garden. There are prepared places for bonfires. You can get to the lake through the canyon. Now there is quite a decent road for any car, but it is clearly planned to improve it, work is underway (Original) Это не попсовое место, с нетрудным подъемом на вершину. Правда мы не дошли до конца совсем немного, из-за 4-х летнего ребенка. Поскольку изначально не ожидали, что подъем такой несложный. Поэтому не планировали подъем и не подготовили воду и более удобную обувь. Если бы не это, думаю смогли бы подняться на самый верх. Место захватывает своей красотой. Мы добрались на машине, достаточно высоко, по грунтовке (выше кафе). Ночевали там в палатке, в конце сентября. Там много пологих площадок в ореховом саду. Есть подготовленные места для костров. Добраться до озера можно через каньон. Сейчас там вполне пристойная дорога для любого авто, но ее явно планируют улучшать, идут работы

Spectacular views. Fantastic experience. Swimming only from boat because lake bank steep and rocky.

A lovely place to go and camp

Just some km away from Tirana. You can have a beautiful day trip.

Amazing

Amazing view. I've been there three times so far and absolutely loved it.

Loved the place, great for hiking, cycling, maybe a picnic or camping
