Baldushk is located 15 km in the south-western part of Tirana. The stream of Zhullima flows along its territory. This village is composed of fields, small up to medium hills, slopes and valleys. The panoramic valley of Baldushk is a combination of a flat relief with the hills and mountains around. It is a fantastic place for a family weekend, but also for tourists who love nature, rivers, mountains and agrotourism.
Ancient history
Looking back to the history of the village, the facts show that it has been inhabited since ancient times. There are some tracks of an ancient household that have been discovered in the village Kocaj in the region of Baldushk, which belongs to 1st century BC. There are also some ceramic fragments here which testify to the existence of a village habitation. There have also been found plinths of ancient sculptures, even in fact they are badly damaged. These sculptures are thought to belong to the second century AD, and now they are exhibited at the National Archaeological Museum. In addition, five mortal Roman monuments of over one meter were discovered in June 2010. It is thought that they belong to III-IV century AD, and they were put on the graves as their protection. All the five monuments are sculptures which belong to the Roman period. It is thought that these bas-relief sculptures were inscribed in a local workshop.
The natural beauty
The waterfall of the Rock Askolaj is flowing from the rock with the same name "Askolaj". It is found in the village Kakunja and it is 25-30 m high. However, little is said about the special beauty of the waterfall with a basin where water flows. The waterfall is surrounded with greenery and just like an oasis; it creates the opportunity to spend the day nicely enjoying the beauties of nature close to the capital.
"Bokerrimat e Mustafa Kocaj", is another beautiful and rare place to visit. They are found on the hills of the village with the same name, at an altitude of 150-200 meters above sea level. They are the result of the activity of natural factors and the uncontrolled intervention of man in the environment. There are no natural lakes in the region of Baldushk. However, there are 8 artificial reservoirs that are used for breeding fish. To go to the Baldushk you use the Tirana-Baldushk motorway.
