Dajti

Dajti is a mountain located just east of Tirana, the capital city of Albania. It stands at an elevation of 1,613 meters (5,292 feet) and is a prominent natural landmark that overlooks the metropolitan area. The mountain is a popular destination for recreation and offers a natural escape for residents of Tirana and visitors alike.

The ascent to Dajti can be made via a cable car known as the Dajti Ekspres, which provides panoramic views of Tirana and the surrounding landscape during the journey. Alternatively, hiking trails are available for those who prefer to reach the summit on foot. The mountain is known for its diverse flora and fauna, and the climate is generally cooler and fresher than in the city below, making it an attractive spot during warmer months.

At the summit, there are facilities including restaurants, cafes, and recreational areas, contributing to its status as a significant tourist attraction and a beloved recreational spot for the people of Tirana. Dajti National Park, established to protect its natural environment, encompasses a significant portion of the mountain and its surrounding ecosystems. The park plays a role in preserving biodiversity and offering opportunities for outdoor activities such as picnicking, hiking, and enjoying the natural scenery.
