Description

Begin with a picturesque drive through rolling hills and small mountain villages before reaching Holta Canyon, one of the most impressive canyons in Albania. Once there, enjoy an easy-to-moderate guided hike surrounded by towering limestone cliffs and the soothing sound of the river that flows through the canyon. Walk along the Holta River, sometimes through shallow water, making it a refreshing and fun experience — perfect for nature lovers, photographers, and adventure seekers alike. During the warmer months, you'll also have the chance to swim in the crystal-clear pools formed by the river, a truly unique and revitalizing experience in the heart of nature. After exploring the canyon, relax near the natural thermal springs, where you can soak your feet or unwind in the warm mineral waters. The journey then continues toward the beautiful Lake Banje, an unspoiled spot surrounded by rolling green hills. Here, enjoy a peaceful picnic by the lakeside - the perfect way to recharge after your hike. Feel free to dip in the cool, calm waters or simply lie back and enjoy the serene atmosphere, the sound of nature, and the stunning panoramic views. The group will have time to share a light meal, taste local snacks, and soak up the relaxing vibe that makes this area a hidden gem of central Albania. Your friendly local guide will share stories about the history, geology, and local traditions of the area, ensuring you get a true taste of Albania's natural and cultural beauty before heading back comfortably to your starting point.
