Itinerary description
The trail point start from a small but very beautiful village called Nikc. The road to reach the village is unpaved and you need a SUV or you can move very slowly to pas 13km from Tamare with small car. The main oblective is to ascent to Maja e Madhe 2552m and Maja e Shnikut 2206m. We started not to the normal trail to go up to Qafe Dobrace because of the dense vegetation in the forest. The trail continues on for 2 km on unpaved way and then it turns right on the north side. The trail is marked and visible and when you get near to Qafë i Dobrace by completing 900m elevation gain, Forca e Kelmendi rises from the right, a real miracle of nature and an important monument of the history of the inhabitants. It is a powerful limestone slab, with a moderate slope towards the village and with an oval shape, about 1000 m long and about 450 m wide. On it there are heather and pine trees and in the middle of it there is a cold spring of water, over 20 m high. After reaching Qafe Dobrace the trail goes down for 100m and in a certain point you have to turn left and up to the neck between Maja e Shnikut and Maja e Madhe. This part in this period is difficult because the slope is very steep with dense vegetation up to 1.5m combine with stone, felled tree trunks and no trail at all. After reaching the neck we went to Maja e Madhe first and in the way down to Maja e Shnikut. We descent in the same way to Qafe Dobrace and we kamp there to pass the night. In the morning we went to Boge meadows. We start from one way and return around to see also the lake of Boge meadows. Also, you can find a water source 500m before returning to Qafe Dobrace again. After that we start descending from the same way to Nikc. The whole journey is accompanied by wonderful views, forest, high peak, meadow and lake.
