Llogara – Mt. Qorre – Llogara

The second highest point of the Ceraunian coastal mountains is now in our reach. Starting early at the Llogara Pass, a well-trodden donkey path zigzags through pine forest up the mountain side. En route viewpoints look out across the glimmering waters and beaches at which Caesar landed to cross the very same mountain range in pursuit of his opponent. The panoramic Dhjopuri Saddle (1.600m) makes for a good rest point, the onward trail to the peak of Mt. Qorre (2.018m) is optional. Along the spine, we quickly reach the alpine
line where between skeleton trees, the path peters out and the terrain becomes very steep. The last meters are a challenge but offer stunning views towards Mt. Cika (2.045m). Our summit towers equally high above the Ionian Sea and overlooks the Southern Highlands including Shushica Valley route. We return on the same route to a beer garden with a view for celebration drinks. Nearby the hotel we can visit the ranger station or take a stroll to a
viewpoint at “Caesar’s Pass” prior to the last supper.
