Tushemisht – Korca

Your day begins in Tushemisht with a warm-up ride through Pogradec before tackling the steep but rewarding climb up Plloce Pass. With every turn, enjoy stunning views of Lake Ohrid until you reach the rim of the highland plateau. Here, vast farmland stretches before you, where horse-drawn carts outnumber tractors, and friendly locals wave as you pass.

The ride levels out as you approach Korça, a vibrant town set at 800m beneath the Morava Mountains. Known for its folk traditions and distinctive cuisine, Korça charms with its elegant villas, broad boulevards, and rich history. Explore landmarks like the iconic cathedral and the Museum of Medieval Art, or join locals on their evening stroll through the lively bazaar. End your day with a well-earned coffee or beer at one of Korça’s welcoming cafés.
