Lake Koman is a flooded river gorge, and the ferry from Koman to Fierzë winds for about 2.5–3 hours between sheer green walls. It's often called one of the most beautiful boat journeys in Europe.
Most people use it as part of a classic loop: Shkodër → Koman ferry → Valbona → hike over the pass to Theth → back to Shkodër.
