Itinerary description

We drive from the Përmet city center to the village of Petran and stop at a place called Lapidari i Petranit. From there, we begin walking on foot to the village of Trebozisht, and approaching the village, you have the opportunity to enjoy the wonderful views of the Vjosa river valley. After a short break and visit to the old stone houses, the road continues to the village of Lipivan. The journey becomes less difficult as the altitude becomes less steep. The hike takes place in direct contact with the wild nature of the area, and the next stop is in the village of Ogdunan where we can visit the Church of Saint Mary located between cypress trees and a traditional village house, which serves as a guest house. After we leave Ogdunan village, we continue our downhill walk towards the thermal waters of Bënjë. Along the way we can see the wonderful canyon of Lengarica and visit the Katiu Bridge and the thermal bath tubs.
