Duration:
12:00 hours
Description
We ascent to get to the top of the Vela Mountains . The views we are offered are fantastic, from the lowlands around Lezha to the Adriatic Sea.
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, peculiarities of the Mirdita ethnoregion, we see valuable ethnological-historical exhibits. On the new forest road, there are many hairpin bends, always daring up to a special spot. When the trees give way to the bushes, the Mountain Station is in front of us. We have to reckon with an ascent of two hours to get to the top of the Vele Mountains and to be greeted by the pilgrimage destination Zoja e Veles, the Mother of God of Vele. . On the way back we stop at Place of Heart and immortalize ourselves in spectacular photos. Visit to the Heartplace with a souvenir photo is an absolute must. Albania's first school stood over the ridge in historic Vele.
