Hiking tour in the North Albania

Day - 1

Visit of Rubik

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, and peculiarities of the Mirdita ethnoregion, we see valuable ethnological-historical exhibits.

We visit the church on the steep rock. Its apse with the frescoes from 1272 is the only religious sign in Mirdita that has survived the destruction mania of the dictatorship. We meditate on the creation stone with a life bowl before we have a snack in the culture house.

Accommodation at hotel Marub. 

Day - 2

Vela Peak and Tranga

Breakfast at the hotel.

The day starts with an off-road adventure to the Mountain Station in Vela Peak. After we reach the mountain station, we will hike to Vela Peak.  A visit to the Heartplace with a souvenir photo is an

absolute must.

Lunch at the mountain station.

Our next destination will be Tranga in Lufaj area. We will visit the Maria Anna chapel, and then we'll reach the guest kulla “Tranga Adventura” - a traditional family-fortified house.

Here we will have dinner and will spend the night.

Day - 3

Earth Cave and Spaç

Breakfast at the guest house.

This day we are going to explore The Earth Cave. Hiking to the trail that leads us to the cave.

After that, we will go at ''mushrooms'' to take a break.

Departure for Spaç - an oppressive former penal camp, and high-security prison (opened in 1991) that is reminiscent of the terror of the Hoxha era. With two stops, the vehicles take us in steep curves on the canyon road to the former place of horror. We take our time and listen, look, feel. 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 Spac Guesthouse welcomes us in a magnificent setting.

Day - 4

Hiking in Munelle

Breakfast at the guest house.

Today’s destination is the last refuge of the Balkan lynx, the mountain range of the Munella. Through beech forests, past simple alpine huts, over magnificent high pastures and rock formations that inspire respect, we reach the summit of the

Munella (1991 m) with a magnificent view. Exploring the strongly structured landscape with its enormous biodiversity is a matter of course, as is a snack with the shepherds. Overnight at the “Natura Magica Spaç.”

Day - 5

Kodër Spaç

Breakfast at the guest house.

Visit of the Koder Spaç with its wonderful nature.
