Description
Embark on the 'Shtegu i Vakëfeve' hiking adventure, a full-day exploration across the enchanting terrain of Albania's lesser-known trails. Starting early at the Korça Alpin Club, your journey begins with a scenic drive to the picturesque village of Panarit. Upon arrival, you will ascend the eastern slopes, immersing yourself in the serenity of nature as the sun rises over the rolling hills. As you navigate through dense forests and open meadows, the towering peaks of Gramozin and Nemërçkën dominate the horizon, offering awe-inspiring views and a perfect backdrop for adventurers and photographers alike. A mid-morning rest at the iconic Shkëmbi i Treskës provides a moment to enjoy the landscapes and prepare for the next leg of the hike to Treskë. Here, explore the historical remnants of the 300-year-old Church of Shen Kollit, standing as a silent witness to the region’s storied past. Continuing south-westward, the trail descends gently towards Trebickë, cradling the tranquil Osum River below. This segment of the hike offers a lush, green pathway, ideal for reflection and relaxation. In Trebickë, enjoy a well-earned picnic lunch, savoring local flavors in the shadow of ancient trees, followed by a visit to the Monastery of Saint Mary, an enduring symbol of religious heritage and community spirit. The return journey to Panarit promises new sights, with the Ostrovica peak now in view, providing a majestic finale to the scenic route.
