🌰 Rec Village & Chestnut Forest Adventure

Hidden in the northern highlands of Albania, just 10 km south of Dedaj village in Malesia e Madhe, lies the tranquil Rec Village — a place where time slows down and nature takes over. Surrounded by a vast 450-hectare chestnut forest with more than 30,000 century-old trees, this destination offers a peaceful retreat full of charm, tradition, and fresh air.

Walking under the shade of ancient chestnuts, exploring caves, and visiting historic castles make this the perfect anti-stress escape for lovers of nature and culture alike.
