Itinerary description
Route: Voskopoja - Eagle antenna - Voskopoja
GPS file: voskopoja_hills_gps.gpx
Distance: 12.2 km
Walking time: 4 hours
Altitude: 1.200 m (min.) - 1.640 m (max.)
Difficulty: Moderate
Description:
This circular hike starts and ends in the center of Voskopoja and leads you
into the hills south-west of the village. Voskopoja offers you all kind of
basic services like accommodation, food, mini markets and bars. The only
food supply on the trail is a little seasonal fish restaurant at the water
reservoir. Drinking water is available at several fountains in Voskopoja and
along the stream on the first 2 km. Make sure to fill up your water bottle
before you leave the riverbed of the stream as there is no portable water
for the next 5 km. The trail is partly easy (gravel road on the hill ridge) but
partly hard to find and cross-country. Detailled maps and a GPS device is
strongly recommended.
