See the hot spots around The Balkans In 60 Days – Stop 19 Komani Lake, Albania

4/9/2018. Hiking in the Albanian mountains was too much hard work, so I went the easy way, to visit Komani Lake with other tourists instead. We started off by bus at 6 a.m, and one and a half hours later we arrived at the boat departure point.

The water was smooth like a mirror, and the motorboat plowed ahead nonchalantly, surrounded by mountains. The boat appeared to be blocked by layers upon layers of mountains, with no way forward. As it happens often, as soon as we confronted the mountains, they gave way to a hidden waterway ushering us forward. Except for the sound of the motor, everything around was so calm and undisturbed.

After about an hour and a half, appearing before our eyes—voilà!—a hideout tucked away in the midst of the lush green, as it were, at the end of a cul-de-sac, an indescribable gemstone. The mountain water skimmed above the pebbles, each making the other sparkle. The greens were made greener by the glorious sun. It was so removed from civilization, so distant from any bother, so impeccable.

4/9/2018 到斯库台来的旅客不少在这里扎营，策划下个出兵计划。这里有出名的爬山和远足活动, 可是我房东不建议我去，因为山难爬，且质疑我胆魄。这家伙真是有眼不识泰山。但是出于好意，忠言顺耳，我因此另选择到科曼湖去。今早六点多乘中巴出发，一路是山群，一小时半后到小艇出发点。

小艇在群山中穿梭，到处是绿水泡到山腰。路到尽头自有路，小艇到山前忽然又现水路。水面如镜，除马达和撞水声，没任何风吹草动，一切那么安然无恙，直到一小伙点起雪茄，坏我清新空气，大杀风景。

一小时半后，好像山穷水尽时，惊喜出现，开始浅浅的水清澈见底，最终出现大小卵石湖滩，小溪山水流淌着。新娘面纱最终揭开了，原来是个绝色佳人 – 在大山围绕下，处于群山中，好像不为人所知，一个小世外桃源。我的确到过仙境。
