Korca – Erseka – Germenj

Leave the Korça plateau behind as you embark on one of the trip’s most demanding and rewarding stages. Begin with a steady climb to the Bramash Pass (1,159m), following one of Albania’s most scenic routes. Pedal through the Kolonja Highlands, skirting the Greek border alongside the majestic Gramos Mountains (2,523m), and marvel at the wildflowers of the Germenj-Shelegur Park.

After passing through the quiet town of Erseka, the road becomes rougher but more serene, with fewer cars, shady forests, and fresh mountain springs. Once you arrive at the your destination, unwind with a hearty farm-to-table dinner and relax under the star-filled skies at this serene mountain escape.
