A speleological expedition recently explored the “Sterra e Kujunxhiut” cave, situated within the protected area of Llogara National Park. During the venture, researchers discovered a substantial shaft that plunges to a depth of approximately 70 meters and maintains a nearly vertical orientation. Upon reaching the base of the shaft, the team encountered a large accumulation of rocks, which preliminary assessments suggest may be obstructing the continuation of the subterranean gallery.
This finding has immediately become a primary focus for further geological investigation. Beyond the structural findings, the expedition documented significant evidence of local biodiversity. Numerous wild animal nests were observed throughout the passage.
These nests belonged to several species, including wild boar, deer, raccoons, and other unidentified fauna, highlighting the ecological importance of the llogara region. The combined nature of these discoveries—the deep shaft, the apparent blockage, and the rich wildlife presence—is expected to stimulate intensified research efforts. Scientists plan to conduct further studies to ascertain the true extent of the cave system.
The ultimate goals of these subsequent explorations include mapping the full geological profile and comprehensively documenting both the speleological features and the natural value of the site.
