Itinerary description

This was a beautiful hike from the forestry office in the center of Bredhi i Hotovёs National Park down to the nearby village of Borockёs. The trail runs through meadows and forested areas, before opening up to a panoramic view of the valley where the village is located. See a separate trip for driving directions to the Park.

The trail head is located just behind the forestry office, next to the public fountain. The trail travels down through a forested area and across a meadow before arriving at a water crossing and then ascending up and to the left. At the edge of the second meadow there is an alternate road to the park entrance, but the trail keeps to the left. At this point there will be intermittent views of the village of Borockes in the valley below. In the third meadow there is a trail crossing, keep straight and follow the power lines descending into the valley. As the descent continues the trail becomes rocky, and there are several variants of the same path. Keep straight at the next trail crossing and descend toward the river.

Cross the river at the wooden bridge and proceed toward the village. Just above the center of the village you will find a public water fountain and a Bektashi Teqe.
