About This Landmark

Vau i Dejës Hydropower Plant

Built in 1973, this is the first large hydroelectric power plant on the Drin River. For decades it has been the main source of electricity for Albania. Although it is a technical structure, for visitors who enjoy engineering and development, the hydroelectric power plant represents an important part of the country's modern history. The appearance of the dam and the contrast between technology and wild nature make this place interesting.
