Cueva Ledena Pecina

Just by passing you notice an intense cold that comes from inside the cave. 200m after the cave there is a somewhat difficult step.

Paso Dificultoso

Hay dos alternativas q se pueden ver en la foto.

Montenegro

View of Montenegro. After about 300m we deviate from the path to look for water. But it's not worth it because further on there is a herdsmen's mackerel with water and drinks (see the waypoint). Therefore, follow the marked path that will take you to the cabin

Ahora pasamos de nuevo a Albania

Cabaña de Pastores

Here you can stop to eat. There is water and the shepherds have drinks (Cocacola, beer, etc.)

Agua

Here you can take water directly from the spring. I have to say the whole trip I have drank water from the tap and from the mountain springs, without having any problem.
