Description

Morning departure from Tirana and drive to Rubik The first way leads us to the Infokulla with the Tourist Infopoint and the Museum of the North. Here we hear interesting facts for our upcoming ventures. In addition to information about the history of the region, peasant life, peculiarities of Mirdita, we see valuable ethnological-historical exhibits. Also we get to know some history about Spaç Prison and then we're ready to hit the road and see it for ourselves. After a depressing tour, we drive on a narrow mountain road up to 950 m to Gurth Spaç. A completely different world opens up to us. The Natura Magica Spaç Guesthouse welcomes us in a magnificent setting. The afternoon is used for a first-class discovery hike. Bell Tower, Lynx Watchtower, Medieval Sheep Pen, Water Mill and above all the place of power with the Chapel built over a spring are counterpoints deliberately built by Marianne Graf to the madness of the mining prison on the lower slope.
