Guri i Bardhë in Klos attracts visitors with its history, stone architecture, and untouched mountain nature.
The village stands as the birthplace of Pjetër Budi and develops over centuries as a large settlement surrounded by hills, greenery, and flowers. Authorities include the village in the “100 Villages” project and improve access through the Arbër Road and the Murriz tunnel.
The village sits about 4–5 kilometers from the national road and connects more easily to Tirana and other nearby regions. Visitors enter the village through mountain paths linking it with nearby areas such as Xibër and Bulqiza.
Locals highlight the village’s historic stone houses, many built in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, including traditional two-story towers. Historians note carved stones and symbols on houses and gates that reflect ancient protective beliefs.
The village preserves a high level of craftsmanship, with decorated interiors and guest rooms built by local and regional artisans. The village develops slowly as tourism grows, supported by a small guesthouse that serves as a local hub for visitors and residents.
The Arbër Road increases access and brings more visitors, including families from Tirana who restore old houses in the area. Residents say the village once had around 1,300 houses and now hosts about 100 inhabited homes, with new interest in rural living.
Guri i Bardhë offers mountain views, natural springs, stone paths, and peaceful surroundings ideal for weekend tourism. Visitors explore nearby attractions such as Petralba Castle and the Ottoman-era Ura e Vashës bridge on the Mat River.
The village maintains traditional life through farming, livestock, and seasonal migration, while tourism adds new economic opportunities.
