Itinerary description
...may not easily be found along this trail, though there are rumours of treasures hidden in this area by Enver Hoxha. But this is a thoroughly rewarding hike nevertheless. The loop hike takes the "regular" path to Rosaveres Village, and returns to Krrabe via a mountain path and past the radio towers.
The hike is generally easy, but orientation can be challenging when taking the shortcut on the return from the radio towers back to Skuterre. Stay close to the coordinates if you wish to stick to this particular route. Pay attention at the waypoint "caution", so as not to miss the way.
In Rosaveres, this hike intersects with another loop hike "2 ways to Rosavere", also on wikiloc. This makes for a choice of 4 paths to or from Rosaveres.

caution
When you come to this point, on a large rocky spot, a path leads to the right, and a less visible path to the left. Our route, however, takes you right across (straight on) across the rocky spot and down.

Nice title for this hike. :)
I have never been to Rosavere, would love to go to. we usually cross the river before reaching Skuterrë village and then we hike up hill according river flow direction to reach an amazing narrow canyon and a nice waterfall inside a cave. The second is difficult to reach because one have to cross the canyon (very dangerous). Will try to post this hike soon. Thanks for sharing!
Please do publish soon! I understand they are building a dam, and the canyon (if I understand its correct location) may soon be gone...
I have heard about this - terrible. For sure will be again without an environmental permit like they destroyed Brari canyon. Yes I'll publish it. The problem is that you have to cross the river and is not so nice to walk with wet feet in winter.

Scenery
Moderate
Very muddy and lots of loose stones. Need good shoes. Could not complete the trail because when we were almost arrived to Rosevere (we could see the cemetery) the trail was interrupted by a big landslide. So we had to go back. Very disappointing.
