Hiking Through Albania’s Hidden Gem: The Llogara Pass
Get ready to lace up your sneakers (or whatever foot gear makes you feel like a confident explorer) because the Llogara Pass awaits. This place is not for the faint hearted as walking this pass, feels surreal and is a once in a lifetime experience. You can easily imagine yourself walking through a lush green forest, with a pristine mountainous view while the scents fill the air. You will be surrounded by towering views and nature so mesmerizing it’s almost surreal.
Wait, We’re Here for the Views, Right?
I’m not going to lie, the climb is more about having a good view of the sights once reached. When you are able to reach to the top of the mountain pass, it becomes a chance for everyone in the group to witness the sights that extend all the way to the Ionian Sea. Yes, a lot of hills, plains as well as beaches are at the end of your viewpoint, and if trees are near by you might feel like hugging one (Trust me, I understand the feeling). But calm down the guide will take you through these picturesque views while bespeaking the flora and fauna available in the region or ancient times when goats existed and might have saved the day during an epic battle.
Villages, Ruins, and Stories of Yore
At the top of your hike, you’ll stop to visit one of Albania’s quaint villages, where cobblestone streets and rustic charm make you feel like you’ve stepped into a time machine. Sure, the Wi-Fi signal might drop, but who needs technology when you can get up close and personal with Albania’s history? Here, you’ll explore ancient ruins, where your group can reenact some dramatic battles in front of crumbling stone walls (bonus points if someone starts speaking in Shakespearean English). And let’s not forget the local food, which is so good it could lead to a group-wide debate about who should carry the leftovers.
The “We’re Never Leaving” Moment
With an air of accomplishing something Italian, as you head back to the base, your evaluation meter will allow your team to appreciate the sights that surround you, one more time. Feeling the cool air due to the warm wind, the sense of pride with soothing scenery of the mountains and the sun dipping slowly behind the mountains, forces you to think “Why don’t we do this every week?” By the end of the climb, believe us, you will break all social barriers with laughter after determining how Albania will be your next big holiday.
Hikes and Ancient Ruins in Albania
So, whether you’re into epic hikes, ancient ruins, or just want to experience a part of the world that’s equal parts wild and welcoming, Albania’s got the activity for you. Just remember to pack the essentials: sturdy shoes, a sense of humor, and maybe some snacks — because trust us, no one wants to go back down the mountain hungry.
