Itinerary description

The idea of hiking the ridge of the Dajti mountain was given by Palmtreeproduction, They hiked the ridge from Qafe e Prikes till Qafe e Qershise in an early June morning.

The first idea was to complete the entire ridge climbing up to the north summit of Dajti, going down the north ridge and comming back through the eastern trail of the Dajti mountain that it will bring me back to Qafe e Prikes. Unfortunately, my fear to the dogs made me move back just starting the eastern trail, going back to the Dajti express telesferic, and taking a taxi to the starting point.

During the summer 2012 unfortunately the Dajti national park was burned by forest fires. Maybe all the rubbish, plastics and glasses accumulated through all these years have been one of the responsables of this disaster.

The starting point is just behind the quarry on the mountain pass (Qafe e Prikes) between Dajti and .... The first steps are on the edge of the quarry. Soon you will find the red and white signs that takes you all along the ridge to the summit of Dajti.

Nowadays half of the path goes through the burned beech forest.

Here I only include the path from the Qafe e Quershise to the North Summit till the last point I reach on the eastern trail of the Dajti mountain.

From the North summit to the eastern trail there is no path. Be carefull at the begining of the descent as you need to overcame some big clifts in a steep slope terrain. Later just follow the north ridge between an open beech tree forest, till you get to the beatufil eastern Mountain Dajti trail.
