Itinerary description

We had good weather in the morning so the view of the mountains leaving Çerem was outstanding. After noon, the weather went back to cloudy and a bit windy. Camped outside the village as the next day

The trail is well marked. Stayed at a guest house near the road so we did not have to go to the valley floor. This is where the trail starts from. Otherwise, there should be a trail that meets by a cafe. My only comment is that I'd rather follow the road to the left after the border crossing back to Albania. It seems this way would allow you to walk on the ridge for possibly better views. Otherwise, the trail is straight ahead once you reach the border/pass.
