You're standing at Rozafa Castle, high above the city of Shkodër in northwestern Albania. The rocky hill beneath you rises about 130 metres. Have a look around. Down below lies Lake Shkodër, and the Buna and Drin rivers wrap around the hill. It's easy to see why people have lived up here for so long. Whoever held this hill could keep an eye on everything around it.

Read and hear the whole story in the Outdoor Pitstop app: check in at this place and it is yours (with Pro; new users are Pro for the first 4 weeks).
