About this landmark

Nivica Canyons and Peshtura Waterfall

The Nivica Canyons and the Peshtura Waterfall are one of the most unique natural assets of the Tepelena area. The canyons lie near the village of Nivica and were formed by the erosion of the stream that passes through them, creating steep cliffs, caves and a mountainous landscape. Also, in the middle of these natural beauties is the Peshtura Waterfall, which flows over karst rocks and creates pools of crystal clear water, offering an ideal place for rest and observation of nature. The area around the canyons and the waterfall has high biodiversity and offers opportunities for hiking, adventure exploration and panoramic photos. However, the terrain is often difficult, so visitors should be careful when exploring. The Nivica Canyons and the Peshtura Waterfall represent an extraordinary natural asset that shows the beauty of the mountainous nature of southern Albania and make Tepelena an attractive destination for adventure and ecological tourism.
