Description

GPT Begin your adventure at the Korça Alpin Club, where you'll meet your fellow hikers and guide at 7:30 AM. From here, set out at 8:00 AM for a short drive to Vithkuq, a historical gem nestled in the mountains. Upon arrival in Vithkuq around 8:45 AM, your first stop is the Monastery of Saint Peter. Here, you can soak in the serene atmosphere and admire the architectural details of this sacred site, representing centuries of religious history and devotion. At 9:30 AM, step onto the old caravan trail, a historic route that traders once traveled. This path will lead you through a majestic pine forest, offering cool shade and the soothing sounds of nature. The forest path opens up to the stunning Qyqe Stream Canyon, where you'll witness the dramatic landscape of rugged cliffs and listen to the peaceful sounds of flowing water—a perfect spot for memorable photos. Continuing on, you'll arrive in Voskopojë, entering through the old southern quarter of the village. Here, time seems to stand still among the cobblestone streets and traditional stone houses. Visit the Church of Saint Nicholas, a beautifully preserved structure that offers insights into the spiritual and artistic life of the region. After exploring the church, take a well-deserved break and enjoy some local coffee. Engage with your guide and locals to hear stories about Voskopojë's past and present, adding depth to your visit.
