Just 30 minutes away from Pogradec, one of the region's natural and historical wonders awaits you - The Kamja Stone, a giant rock that rises majestically on top of the hill, at an altitude of 1461 meters above sea level. With impressive dimensions (100 m long, 80 m wide and 70 m high), this stone looks like a large ship that "floats" through the forest.
After an easy walk of 2.7 km, after driving 12.7 km from Pogradec, you will reach the top and enjoy an amazing panoramic view over the Lake Ohrid basin and the surrounding green landscape. Kamja Stone is a Natural Monument and an ideal place for family hiking, picnics and unforgettable photos. The trail is suitable for all ages and offers fresh air and tranquility away from the noise of the city.
In addition to its natural beauty, this place also carries historical significance: on July 28, 1912, the locals raised the Albanian flag here – four months before the official declaration of independence. This event is commemorated every year by the local community with traditional activities and celebrations.
