A bus takes us up a winding road to a pass at an altitude of 1000 m. On the way we enjoy the views of the coast and the surrounding mountains.
Our last bike tour starts at the pass and we first go eight kilometers steadily downhill through a wooded mountain landscape. We are on a road with little traffic

Hike to a viewpoint overlooking the bay of Himarë. Back at sea level, we climbed a few meters along the cliffs.

Today the bikes remain unused and the bus takes us to our next hotel in Himarë. On the way we visit the castle of Porto Palermo. Porto Palermo is a protected tectonic bay, in the middle of which lies a small peninsula and on it a well-preserved old fortress, the "Kalaja e Porto Palermos" (German "Castle

After our bus and a few taxis have taken us to the Muzina Pass, we head downhill for almost 25 kilometers. On the way, we reach the Bistricë River near the Syri i Kaltër National Park, which we follow until it turns west to flow into the Ionian Sea. Soon the road leads directly along a canal, from whose

The city of Gjirokastër has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2005. It is one of the oldest cities in the country and an important cultural center in southern Albania. The city is the birthplace of the former dictator Enver Hoxha and the most famous Albanian writer Ismail Kadare. In the afternoon

We continue to follow the Vjosa River, which is considered the last large wild river in Europe outside of Russia. The national park of the same name covers the entire length of the Vjosa riverbed within Albania, around 190 kilometers, and that of its tributaries. We cycle on roads that are busier than

After a siesta, we drove to the thermal springs of llixha. These offered us relaxation after the strenuous cycling stage of the day. And when the outside temperature is over 30 degrees, thermal springs with 22-26 degrees also offer refreshment :-)

Today's bike tour takes us through a mountainous landscape of overwhelming beauty! I'm at a loss for words, so let the pictures speak for themselves (especially in the Vjosa valley from kilometer 35). Yesterday, hardly anyone in our group could have imagined that it would be even better. (The only downside

After a short transfer by bus, today's tour takes us first through beautiful hilly landscapes, then through a wonderful mountain range with breathtaking views of the mountains. Of course, you have to earn these on a number of long and fairly steep climbs - my respect goes to the non-motorized fellow

After the bike tour and the subsequent siesta, we take a stroll through the attractive town of Korçë, visit the beer garden of a local brewery and then a restaurant where we once again indulge in Albanian cuisine. A successful end to a beautiful day!

The bike tour from Pogradec to Korçë leads through a charming hilly landscape with views of agricultural plains and the surrounding mountains. At the beginning we have to tackle a long, steep climb - here I don't regret being able to activate the motor of my rental e-bike. But since it annoys me with

In the afternoon we get back on our bikes and after a few kilometers we reach the border with North Macedonia, where we don't need anything more than our ID card to cross the border. A little later we visit Sveti Naum, a monastery founded by Saint Naum at the end of the 9th century and donated by the

Lake Ohrid is the second largest lake on the Balkan Peninsula and one of the oldest in the world. To kick off our cycling trip through Albania, a short bike tour takes us along its shore to the town of Pogradec, not far from the border with North Macedonia.

After today's somewhat disappointing bike tour in the last two thirds, Kristin, GTLC60 and I don't want to take this as our final impression of our bike tour through Albania. After Komoot (OpenStreetMap) was unable to identify any hiking trails near the coast, we set off on an improvised hike at random
