Franc Jozeph Island

The Albanian island of Franc Jozeph Island is located at the mouth of the Buna River. In 1870, Austrian cartographers gave the island the name. The name is thought to have been adopted in honor of Austrian Emperor Franz Joseph I. The island is primarily up of excellent alluvial soil and, depending on the extent of the river's flow, it becomes a peninsula. Many seabirds, particularly those in the Ardeidae family, use this island as a breeding habitat.

The Franc Jozeph Island is low ground with a sandy shoreline and alder trees dominating the landscape. The trees are 75 years old and grow to be 16 meters tall (52 ft). The island attracts few international tourists and is known for its tranquility. Aside from Austrian baking, you'll discover calm and peace there, as well as opportunities for birdwatching and admiring the natural beauty.
