Liqeni i Degës is one of the lakes of the Dumre karst plateau, near Fierzë in the municipality of Belsh, in a region of hills, vineyards and olive groves. It is one of the Dumre lakes recommended for a boat ride.
How it formed
Like the other lakes of Dumre, it formed when caves and hollows in the gypsum rock collapsed and filled with water. More than 80 of these natural karst lakes lie in the municipality of Belsh.
Nature
Carp, bream and grass carp live in the lakes of Dumre, and white and yellow water lilies grow on some of them.
