  2. One of the numerous natural wonders with clear waters and unspoiled scenery is the Bogova Waterfall! This gem of the Albanian environment, which is located on the left bank of the Osumi valley, is concealed by lush, dense woodland.

    The waterfall rises to a height of 20 meters above a 12 meter deep pool of ethereally transparent water. You feel as though you are in an unspoiled tropical paradise because of the scenery. You get a sense of how the world must have been in its early beginnings from the water's stunning clarity, the waterfall's soothing noises, and the lush surroundings.
