Tour description
This tour offers a combination of car travel and hiking.
Starting from Librazhd we will drive along the border of Shebenik-Jabllanicë National Park to Zgosht (14 paved km / 20 min).
The route from the village of Zgosht brings us to the visitor center of the National Park at Fushë Studë (11 km / 30 min).
From here a walk of about 90 min. (6 km) will bring us to the ice cave of Akullit, which is quite huge with a length of about 40 m and about 10 m height.
Though the outside temperature might be very warm during the summer, you will find it quite “cool” in here. On the way back, walking through beech forests, we pass the hotel Hasa and will be back at Fushë Studë after about 75 min. (5 km).
