Pisha e Egër në Oazin e Karavastasë (the old pine) – Godulla e Pishës lagoon

This is a beautiful hike going through the dense pine forest of the park. By following this trail, you will have the possibility to visit two natural monuments of the park – the Old Pine and Godulla e Pishes Lagoon . The path is very visible but it has some crossing that might mislead you. A hiking guide or a GPS device is suggested since the track is not marked.
The trail head is WP 1, a blue gate next to the main road, which enable the entrance of the forest, approx. 1, 5 km before the park entrance. The trail follows N for approx. 2 km on a very visible path in the dense pine forest till we reach a crossing point (WP 2) and we turn of W (left). We follow W for about 150 m and then turn again N at the crossing (WP 3). The route follows N and for approx. 600 m we reach the Old Pine, which is located few meters left of the trail (WP 4). After visiting the Old Pine, we turn back again on the trail and follow N until we arrive at WP 5, Emisari i Terbufit canal. There are many fishing cabins along the canal. At WP 5 the track follows W with the pine forest in our left and the canal in our right, for approx. 1 km. At WP 6 the route turns of S. The forest is not any more as dense as the parallel rout we had before. At WP 7 is a very good view point over Godulla e Pishes lagoon. The viewpoint is approx. 200 m left of the main track. We get back at the main track and we follow S for few hundred meters until we see an exit gate of the forest. The hike ends at the main road, around 900 m before the park entrance (WP 8).
