It is one of the most significant prehistoric settlements in Albania with high archaeological value.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn fact, the Cave of Treni is unique in its kind; it is part of the Prespa National Park and bears signs of habitation dating back to prehistory. It has been a habitat for people who lived there, as well as many other species that are crucial to the ecosystem. It is an important attraction, revealing elements of prehistory and how life was organized inside this cave,\u201d Gjergj Koki, Director of the Regional Administration of Protected Areas in Kor\u00e7a tells Euronews Albania.<\/p>\n<p>Despite its immense importance, this unique prehistoric monument remains unprotected.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cResidents living nearby often bring their livestock to this type of area for grazing or personal needs. A surrounding barrier made of eco-friendly materials designed to protect the cave\u2019s perimeter has been planned. The aim is to prevent locals, passersby, and picnickers from entering the cave, starting fires, or discarding waste within its confines,\u201d Koki further explains.<\/p>\n<p>Representatives of the Devoll Municipality also spoke of their promotional efforts towards the prehistoric monument.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDevoll Municipality has undertaken several consistent promotions, organized guided tours. Three years ago, we engaged with the tourist operators\u2019 association, which incorporated it into their tour packages, recognizing its historical significance, and this cave is one of the crucial points in their tours,\u201d says Alda Ago, Tourism Officer at Devoll Municipality.<\/p>\n<p>However, Devoll Municipality officials admit they lack sufficient budget for work around the Cave of Treni.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the lack of information poses a challenge for foreign tourists, as everything they can find about the monument is through the internet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Cave of Treni in Devoll dates back 6,000 years BC.
