We head toward Orosh, the former capital and spiritual center of the northern Albanian tribes for centuries. The Monastery of Alexander, once renowned far beyond the region’s borders, was completely destroyed during the dictatorship, as was the Kapedan’s palace.

The church has been rebuilt according to its historical design.

Once a place with internal autonomy under the Ottoman Empire, Orosh is today just an isolated mountain village, difficult to access and ready to be rediscovered. You will be amazed by the landscapes of bold rock formations and resilient farmland.

In the afternoon, we ascend to the “Sacred Ground” of Nenshejt, a vast karst area overgrown with vegetation and offering magnificent panoramic views.

Overnight stay in Orosh.

A long drive takes us to the sources of the Great Fan. Through sparsely populated mountainous areas, we pass Gjegjan and Gojan, the main villages of the narrow yet fascinating Fan Valley. At Shkozë, we turn off to visit a small rural mill, a vast limestone formation, and the mythical cave of the Zanen.

Déjeuner chez une famille d’agriculteurs. Puis continuation vers la petite ville minière de Fushë Arrëz, et enfin Kryezi. Après la visite de la cascade romantique et légendaire, installation au Makry Guesthouse.
