Here you will find the first good place to camp after Valbona. There is a large and flat meadow with a fireplace near an abandoned and dilapidated shepherd's hut.

July 12, 2022,Wanderung Kukaj und Aussichten ins Valbona Tal

Beautiful hike in the Valbona valley far away from many tourists. The views along the way were unique! First look up and over a great degree into the valley and then down over Kukaj back to Valbona.

July 11, 2024,Punto di vista perfetto. – Punto di vista giro ad anello con partenza da Valbonë
