Subida

As soon as we leave the Guest House we begin to go up through the fields to reach a shepherd's path that will take us to the border with Kosovo. It is a steep path of about 3km. There is the possibility of following a track, which is usually the busiest and with the smoothest ascent (I refer you to the track by Chema Muñoz Balcanes 2019: Doberdoll - Gjieravica - Prizren).

At this point we decided to vary the route and go down the path of the lake. Without a doubt, it is a success because the path to the middle of the slope is beautiful and we were lucky to see the flight of a Kestrel up close.

At this point I could go to Albania. We headed to Maja e Gjeravicë, since one of the objectives is to crown the peak at 2643m. Along this path we will first see the heart-shaped lake (Ligeni Zemër) and at the end we will end up in Gripa e Erenikut (settlement of houses that are inhabited in summer).

Waypoint

Starting point towards the top of Maja e Gjeravicë. We left the backpacks and began the ascent. At first more stretched to become steeper at the end. It can always be done with caution at the end and according to weather conditions (ours were great).
