Day 1
The league was established at the meeting of 47 Ottoman beys. An initial position of the league was presented in the document known as Kararname. With this document, Albanian leaders emphasized their intention to preserve and maintain the territorial integrity of the Ottoman Empire in the Balkans by supporting the porte, and "to struggle in arms to defend the wholeness of the territories of Albania". Although it said nothing about the reforms, schools, autonomy or about the union of the Albanian population within one vilayet, under influence of Abdyl Frashëri, this initial position has changed radically and resulted in demands of autonomy of Albanians and open war against the Ottoman Empire.
Day 1 The Prizren Castle
contains in itself an important part of the ancient history of the city. Its topographic position, its domination over the city, a rather attractive natural landscape, and the well-thought architectural configuration render the site rather valuable in terms of archaeology, history and tourism. It is located in the eastern part of the city, over a conical-shaped hill.
Day 1
The walls and dome inside Sinan Pasha Mosque were painted in the 19th century, mostly of floral patterns and Qur'an verses. The minbar is painted with floral motives. Both the large dome and the half-dome of the mosque are covered with lead. The stone flooring of the mosque and the carpentry are original.

Our family had a wonderful time trekking through stunning landscapes of the Albanian Alps, with Theth and Valbona being highlights of our adventure. The accommodations were cozy but a bit rustic, which added to the charm, though we could have used more hot water after long days of hiking.

We savored a memorable meal in a quaint village, where local dishes like savory byrek captured the essence of the region. The hikes between Theth and Valbona showcased the majestic beauty of the Albanian Alps, although we found some trails a bit challenging for casual walkers.

Exploring the Albanian Alps together was an experience we will cherish forever, with breathtaking views of both Theth and Valbona that truly exceeded our expectations. The hiking trails were well-maintained, and we were pleasantly surprised by the local meals, especially the fresh goat cheese and hearty stews served in the guesthouses. However, a couple of our planned activities felt a bit rushed, leaving us wanting to savor the moments longer. Overall, the majestic landscapes and warm hospitality made this adventure one for the books, and we left with a deeper appreciation for Albania’s natural beauty.

From the moment we arrived in Tiranë, we felt a sense of adventure as we prepared to immerse ourselves in the stunning landscapes of the Albanian Alps. The hiking between Theth and Valbona was nothing short of breathtaking, with each step revealing majestic views that felt straight out of a painting. We particularly relished the local meals, especially the hearty traditional dishes served in the guesthouses, which added a delicious touch to our experience. However, there were a couple of long stretches during the hikes that pushed our stamina a bit more than we anticipated. Overall, this journey allowed us to explore the wild beauty of the region while creating unforgettable memories together.
