Natural hot springs, beautiful stone and my most favourite place in all Albania, hands down! Sitting in the hot water, enjoying a beer and watching the sunset over the distant valleys will stay one of the most memorable traveling moments in my life. Places like these are rare and unfortunately, I'm afraid it won't stay like this for a very long time. In April 2025, the infrastructure was being heavily upgraded for tourists and there were already construction renovations of the adjacent roads, the large parking lot and few buildings next to it. This meant you had to park in the back and additional 800+ metres to the and the hot water, and so I barely met anyone here later in the evening. The situation will surely be completely different during summer and I bet the place will be packed with people. But before the hordes of discover this place and the Albanians make you pay for it - just enjoy the serenity, pure nature and the beauty of this little gem. It's stunning. Recommend to arrive early. The later the more people. We came around 9 and it was just about right. Had a swim at the first pool and walked to the gorge The is lovely and picturesque. But why do have to park righ next to it? Cant they use legs and park at the carpatk? This should be banned! Impossible to take a nice photo of the with the cars in front. There is a new carpark being built right now, so hopefully there will.be restrictions. Overall a lovely experienece, the vést was walking in the riverbed thought the gorge and without people. Do not forget watershoes. These natural baths are a very interesting spot. Unfortunately the place is not very well curated and there is still construction going on. It is not very accessible, you have to park a little far, and down some muddy/ rocky roads. I would bring any necessities, towels, food, as there are not many amenities here. Apart from that the views are stunning and relaxing. It is worth a visit Too many tourist is ruining this place The termal baths are dirty ,littering and planty of cars just inside the the are of the bath's Also, from the surrounding area have occupied the public space where the asphalt ends and are trying to make tourists pay. Hopefully the authorities try to do something for this once beautiful place. A perfect blend of nature, history, and a natural spa! 🏞️ 🌉 ⛰️ ♨️ This is one of those rare places that truly has it all: a stunning architectural monument, breathtaking nature, and the unique relaxation of a bath. It's an incredible mix of the historic 18th-century Kadiu Bridge, the beautiful Lengarica River carving its way through the spectacular Lengarica Canyon, and the stunning views of the Dhëmbel-Nemërçkë mountains – all topped off with a soothing soak in the waters. Getting here is easy, and we had no problem finding a parking spot in the late afternoon. After a short, pleasant walk, you're greeted by the sight of the beautiful Ottoman and the first pool. There are about five pools in total – try to find them all! My personal recommendation is the largest one, which feels like a natural infinity pool, offering magnificent views of the on one side and the mountains on the other. For a more intimate experience, be sure to visit the last pool, located a few hundred meters upstream into the canyon. It's more secluded and has the warmest water. Don't be surprised by the characteristic smell of the – it's sulfur, which is known for its therapeutic properties. Think of it as a free, natural spa experience! Finally, a visit here is incomplete without venturing into the Lengarica Canyon. Even a short of a few hundred meters inside will leave you with an unforgettable impression of its raw beauty. A must-do! (This was the perfect way to relax after a day of exploring, and a key part of our 2025 Albanian itinerary. For more on our journey, check out my full summary on the Skanderbeg Square page in Tirana!) It was not a pleasant place as it is developing. Dirty roads and potholes on the roads. You need to take a long drive and then to reach over there. The river or place was dried. It's mountainous and small logged area is maintained where takes a bath. In addition, the trekking starts from there too. The arch is strong which is amazing. It's not worth a visit specifically for foreigners because you need to go especially over there and you will not get that vibe. The baths were a very pleasant experience. The is nicely hot and comfortable, and when you through the canyon area there are another 2–3 pools to enjoy. There isn’t much else beyond that, but it’s a beautiful place to look around and take a relaxing walk. Llixhat e Benjës baths in Albania are a rejuvenating escape like no other. Warm, mineral-rich waters surrounded by lush nature make it perfect for relaxing, camping, and hiking. Every dip feels healing, refreshing both body and soul in a truly magical setting.
