City of Peja is located just on the doorstep of Bjeshket e Nemuna, Accursed Mountains.
Hotel Korza this pink building located in the heart of Peja is the most easily recognizable monument of the city. It has been unused since the war. The main pedestrian zone carries the same name Korza.
Gryka Rrugoves (The Rugova Canyon). Following the river Lumi Bardhi (White River), a spectacular gorge with vertical walls reaches on one end almost to the footsteps of Peja city, and from the other end opens out to a beautiful valley. Walk, cycle, or drive by car in the canyon. If you are lucky, you may see a mountain goat.
Gryka a Madhe, the Great Canyon, is not a canyon but actually a cave system. Enter the cave from the road which runs in Rugova gorge, by climbing stairway around 170 m up. The entrance to the cave system is closed and only accessible with professional guide, for safety reasons.
The Pec Patriarchate. If exiting Peja going to Rugova gorge, one can't be without noticing a KFOR checkpoint and high stone walls, barbwire and other stuff not usually associated with monasteries. Those high walls hide a gem prohibited from local Albanian citizens - a beautiful orthodox monastery area which is listed as UNESCO World Heritage site.
