Dukagjin is the mountainous region in north of the Drini river. Historically the most isolated part of Albania and not only, it made resistance to all of the occupations who aimed on ruling over. Made of 9 bajraks (tribes) created what it used to be known as “Principata e Dukagjinit”. An extraordinary region, with high anthropological values, ethnography, the unique Gheg dialect, old architecture (Kulla style) and a complete wild spiritual life-style. People here lived out from nature and worshiped only to high nature values. This is greatly testified by the traditional costumes as “Xhubleta, Cakqiri e Xhamadani burrave”. Especially from the 4000 years old Xhubleta, the handcrafted garment worn by highland women and girls and which was inscribed in UNESCO in 2022.
Dukagjin and Komani lake will not offer you the European commodity and neather an easy-peasy journey. You might confront with delayed schedules, bumpy roads, broken engines, miss of reception, but nothing to worry about as you will live with the high spirit of the mountains, the mesmerizing views and the rare hospitality & kindness of the locals. As our main quote says “Our dwelling belongs to God and the guest”. “
Literature you can read for knowing our region and traditions better: Edith Durham “High Albania”, “Albania and the Albanians”, Mary Rose Wilder Lane “The peaks of Shala” Robert Elsie “The tribes of Albania”
