Borocke – Malind – Berat

Up, up from Borocke we climb for a last time towards the ridge, quickly gaining a pleasant overview of the village and last glimpse of the deep-cut canyon. Above us the mountain is almost bare of vegetation but streaked with colorful erosion cones after which locals call it “Ripezave”. Following the crest with views left and right, we pass above the village of Soropull, stop at the reservoir at Kreshova with Mt. Tomorri straight ahead. Across terraced fields the trail drops into a river canyon with bizarre earth and rock formations, a geological spectacle. Following the river bed, we can cool our feet in the small ponds before reaching the end of our hike, where a car picks us up. After a few kilometers on a bumpy piste we reach the confluence of the mountain traveling Osumi River and drive on a new road along the enormous canyon it forms before our last day ends in the small town of Corovoda.
