- Mount Dajt Summit (Maja e Dajt) — The high point of the park at about 1,613 m gives the classic “Tirana spread beneath your feet” panorama: city, surrounding hills and, on very clear days, a hint of the Adriatic. Great for sunrise or sunset and for a proper sense of space — personal favorite for the view and the quiet after the cable car crowds leave.
- Dajti Ekspres cable car — The quick, scenic lift from near Tirana up into the park is half the fun: big altitude gain, easy access, and memorable vistas on the way up. Perfect if you want mountain feel without a long uphill slog — or as a shortcut to trails at the top.
- Beech and conifer forests — The cool, shady woodlands are the park’s backbone: mossy paths, spring wildflowers, and scent-heavy pines. Great for easy walks, a summer escape

- Beech and conifer forests — The cool, shady woodlands are the park’s backbone: mossy paths, spring wildflowers, and scent-heavy pines. Great for easy walks, a summer escape from city heat, and simple but satisfying forest photography.
- Ridge and summit hiking trails — A mix of short loops and longer ridge routes that climb or contour the mountain. Trails vary from mellow walks to steeper, rocky stretches, so you can pick a half-day ramble or a longer day-hike with constant viewpoints along the way.
- Wildlife and birdwatching spots — Keep an eye (and a quiet voice) out for foxes, wild boar signs, and a healthy roster of raptors and woodland birds. Not a safari, but rewarding if you like scanning treetops and listening for calls.
- Panoramic terraces, cafés and picnic areas — Simple mountain restaurants and terraces near the top station make for easy meals with a view. They’re handy for sunset photos or a relaxed break between hikes, and there are plenty of unofficial picnic nooks if you bring supplies.
- Rocky outcrops and small karst features — The park isn’t just trees: there are exposed cliffs, interesting rock formations and small caves or overhangs worth poking around for photos and short scrambles. Good for variety on a hike and some unexpected viewpoints.
