Albania's Most REMOTE Village? 🇦🇱 | Self Sufficient Mountain Lifestyle

Описание: Join us as we embark on a journey to reach one of Albania's most remote villages, nestled within the mysterious Accursed Mountains.

01m03s - Selcë (Starting point and hike)
06m54s - Mregu (Meeting local inhabitant, Age)
17m06s - Komani Lake (Storms & recapping mountain village)

In this episode we explore the mountainous wilds of Northern Albania. Setting off at sunrise, we struggle with the hostile terrain over four hours of intense hiking, accompanied by our guide, before reaching the small village of Mregu. Cut off from the rest of the country, this village is home to only a handful of residents, lying around 3 hours from the nearest city with no road access.

Here we meet one of the village's last remaining residents, who welcomes us into her home and shows us her way of life. We learn about the challenges of remote mountain living, how to live entirely self-sufficiently, and about the depopulation of this incredible area as Albania speeds into the 21st century.

We conclude this episode with a stay by the incredible Komani Lake, an intense lightning storm and some crazy driving through the city of Shkodër as we make plans for our final days in Albania.
