Itinerary description

A nice hike from the village of Saraqinishtë about 30 minutes drive from Gjirokastra.

After the snow is gone and the vegetation is not to thick yet, this is a really nice walk with an ever changing scenery.

Our actual goal was the southern most summit of the Mali i Lunxherisë range. Since the peaks were covered in clouds and the peak is very rocky and steep, we left the summit push for an other day and turned back at the stone man on the pass. maybe we'll have to bring a rope and other mountaineering equipment next time.

I'm pretty sure this hike could be combined into a round trip by continuing north to the summit of çajupi and descending via Palmtreeproducions "çajupi summit".

    Very nice! Yes, a round trip over both summits would be great. The southern summit looks very steep.
    Good luck!
