interesting place, invisible
The old Kukës was submerged beneath an artificial lake in 1976, the lake being held back by Chinese-built dams. The new town (Kukësi i Ri - "New Kukës") was built in the 1970s in the plateau nearby which is 320m over the sea level. Kukësi i Ri is surrounded by the artificial lake of Fierza and it looks like a peninsula from the above.
In this link you can be able to see the old town for the first time in more than 25 years when the lake was zero leveled during emergency flooding Crisis that acurred.
