Itinerary description
Maja e Popluks (also called Maja e Poplukës, Papluka, Popljuces) is barely visible from either valley but appears when climbing Qafa e Pejes or Qafa e Valbones.
It takes around 10 hours reaching the summit (around 11 during the winter). It would be great if you have your helmet, cause during all the path you will have rocks. Also, you may need the crampons and ice axe in some places all year. Usually, you can climb this peak all year, but in some places, it is very dangerous, especially during the winter.
Make sure you don’t mix the road to another peak near Popluka (Maja Jezerce).
