Itinerary description
This is a nice hike along the sea shore going until it ends because the connection of the sea with Godulla lagoon. Near of the connection (Second canal) is a very good view point for bird watching.
The hike starts at Hotel Divjaka Park (WP 1) which is the last hotel going S from the park center along the car road. We continue the hike S along the sea shore and after approx. 1.8 km we reach the Vahu canal (WP 2). Vahu canal is normally dry so you can just cross it and hike further on S along the sea shore to approach the Second canal (WP 3). In case the Vahu canal is working, the ways to reach the second canal are either by crossing the water (max. 1/2 m deep) or by renting a boat.
Between the two canals, took place one of the most sensational stories of the communism time. Xhevdet Mustafa, a young Albanian fugitive in the United States came back in Albania group in September of 1982. Their mission was to toppling the regime. He was one of those youths that could not withstand with lifestyle and regime in Albania. This mission was betrayed by someone, and there they were surrounded by security forces of the Albanian state. After two hours of gun battles killed remains. On the way between two canals, near the lagoon, you can see memorials of two security forces who were killed in the firefight.
