Itinerary description
While you have entered the road that leads to the village of Pejke for about a km of paved road you will initially pass through the village of Pjeçe and after about 1.5 km you will be in the village from where you will head to the starting point of the biking trail. Following about 1.6 km of unpaved road in the Gjurra neighborhood, the biking trail to the Butterflies camp begins.
The length of the trail is about 8 km and its beginning is located at 640 m above sea level. For a distance of about 1 km the trail passes through meadows and forests to create unprecedented adrenaline. Then the Drini i Zi valley appears with a very stunning view. The rest of the way to the Butterflies camp is a very high level of difficulty. You need to be careful and follow the instructions of the guide that accompanies you.
After about 150 m after you have started the difficult part you can stop at an observation point where you can enjoy the impressive views and take photos or videos as appropriate which are rare in their kind. The chosen position is very strategic as it provides you with very picturesque images of the area.
After you follow the rest of the trail you will reach the suspension bridge part which creates the adrenaline to the maximum. While you enjoy the meditation around the suspension bridge, you are at the Butterfly camp. Opportunities to reach the campsite are by bike, rafting and on foot, or by air (parachute). Labinot is waiting for you there, who can guide you with a quick guide around the campsite and also tells you about the history of the area. On request you can consume your lunch here with typical traditional foods of the area.
The trail continues along the Drini i Zi valley where from time to time you can stop in special positions and enjoy the beauties of the Drini valley including its flora and fauna.
After completing about 3.5 km from the Butterfly camp you will reach the village of Hotesh and then on the rest of the highway to the Luznia Bridge you can visit the ruins of the Murra tower.
Once you reach the Luznia bridge, someone will wait for you by car to go to the next trail Arapaj i Eperm - Katund i Ri.
