Tirane – Pogradec – Korca

Transfer east through the Lake Ohrid region towards the Korçë plateau. After the bicycle fitting, begin riding through rolling farmland beneath the Morava Mountains.

The route follows gentler terrain into Korçë, where broad streets, the Old Bazaar and the Museum of Medieval Art provide options for the afternoon.

This introductory stage focuses on the plateau landscape before the longer ride through the Kolonja Highlands.
