Approx. 300 meters before reaching the pass the trail turns to be invisible because of the bushes. At the pass the view is beautiful onto Bovilla lake. From there the route goes gently down to...

In der Nacht waren noch heftige Gewitter mit Stromausfällen, denn jedesmal ging die Notbeleuchtung an und es war taghell im Hotelzimmer. Unsere Motos wurden noch nie so gut betreut wie hier in Albanien, wir danken es dem Nachtwächter mit einem Trinkgeld, welches dieser wiederum mit einer herzlichen Umarmung verdankt. Das Wetter hat sich bei unserer Abfahrt wieder beruhigt, die Sonne scheint bei bereits 28 Grad Celsius. Unser Ziel heute: Griechenland. Wir wählen...

This is a very easy hike through the gorge of Zeza stream. I don't usually like relaxing walks but I really liked this one.

It stems from the mountain of Skenderbeut and after meeting Terkuza stream and Lana river forms the Ishmi river which flows in the Adriatic sea, near of Rodoni cape.
Take the main road from...
