The Drin River and the Albanian Alps define much of Northern Albania – their valleys concentrate settlement and agriculture, while the Drin’s dams are central to Albania’s power supply. The regional centre of Shkodër stands near Lake Shkodër, shared with Montenegro, and has long been one of Albania’s leading cultural cities. Rozafa Castle, on a hill above the confluence of the Drin and Buna rivers, is its best-known historic landmark. Farther north, rugged mountain communities contrast with the Adriatic lowlands around the Buna delta; roads link these varied landscapes with Kosovo and Montenegro.
