Lake of Banja, Gramsh - 🇦🇱 Albania @MTravelVlog

Описание: Gramsh, a city located in the Valley of Devolli River is proving that proper management of water resources is a key element to economic growth and sustainable development. Gramsh district is located in southeastern Albania, some 84 km away from Tirana, and the administrative center can be reached from the capital city in less than two hours drive.

Gramsh is home to beautiful natural monuments, while manmade works complement these natural assets. But the area was not on the attention of tourists due to lack of infrastructure. However, the area got the attention of Norwegian investors that started the construction of two large renewable energy projects, the hydro power plants in Banja and Moglica. The first was put into service one year ago, in September 2017 and the second is expected to end in 2018. Besides the fact that the two HPPs along with the Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP) are the major source of Foreign Direct Investments to Albania, they are also improving the lives of local communities and making Gramsh accessible to tourists and visitors. A new road from Banja to Gramsh and 13 bridges were also constructed as part of the project.

This is the largest energy work since the construction of Koman HPP some 30-years-ago and like Koman, which is now one of Albania’s must-see attractions, it will turn into a tourist attraction. The reservoir has a total volume of 391 billion liters of water and it covers an area of 14 square km. Currently, there are only a few restaurants on the coast of the lake that offer local products from the small farms. Their menus include fresh artisan-made bread and cheese, fresh fish and meat that are incredibly cheap. Some also offer boat trips on the lake.
