Itinerary description
Maja e Kulmakes is next to Tomorri (south of the south summit with the mausoleum of Abbas Aliu on top). Even though the gaze of the tourist and adventurer is automatically drawn to Tomorri, Kulmakes is almost always in view.
With 2179 meters altitude, it is one of the big southern mountain. Because of its many karstic holes, it keeps the snow very long into spring. A bottomless hole is near waypoint Doline.
Access is facilitated through the Tomorri mountain road (see wikiloc #7300512). From the turn off from the Tomorri road to the trailhead, the road might be difficult under unfavorable conditions. In this case, walk from the turn-off.
For most of the hike, the real summit is not in view. The summit of Kulmake can only be seen from the summit ridge. In contrast, the south summit of Tomorri is always in sight.
From the top of Kulmakes, views in all directions abound. Mali i Ostrovices appears particularly close, with a rare view of its northern side. Going clockwise, one can see Gramos, Nemercke (Papingut), Cajupi, Dhembel, Strakovecit, Trebeshines, Shendelise, Kendervices, Gribes, Shpiragut, Tomorri, Bukanikut, Guri i Zi, and Valamares (all covered on wikiloc)
