Itinerary description
This is an alternative walk that strays from the main historic routes of the Vlach ( https://www.wikiloc.com/hiking-trails/vlachs-transhumance-route-108659966 ). The route is around 4 km long and it provides a daily walking alternative with a lot to explore. From the town of Përmet, you can choose to walk, cycle or drive for c. 21 km towards the south until reaching the start of the trail at the village of Draçova. Once there, take the right-hand path that leads along a watercourse lined up with old plane trees and gardens up to its spring. On the slope of the hill to the west are remains of the Bronze Age settlement of Dedejan. A narrow path up past the spring, of about 3 hours walking, takes through a beech and pine forest, leading to the beautiful meadow below the steep rocky cliff of Mount Nemërçka.
