The park is an area of alpine landscapes, deep valleys, vertical cliffs, dense coniferous and deciduous forests, small lakes and rivers.

Located between the steep and rugged topography of the Albanian Alps, the region is characterized by significant diversity in flora.

It is covered by a mixture of oak, beech and pine trees growing on limestone and dolomite, which is characteristically to the Alps.

It dwells a number of various species that are fast becoming rare in Southern Europe, with animals such as the Eurasian lynx which inhabits the rugged forested areas, the endangered brown bear and gray wolf.

Moreover, the woods provide also shelter for species including chamois, western capercaillie and griffon vulture.
