Maja e Micekut te Shenmerise is an easy hike but I put moderate because it was done in winter with snow and approaching the summit the terrain was ice and it was needed some basic equipment like aci axe and crampons.

Nice drive south through the valley to Kocaj, and finally a cross over a bridge with loose metal sheets and a few holes. Trail is easy and in good condition. If you come later Spring or Summer you may want some clippers.

If you plan to visit Bovilla Lake and don’t like long hiking there is a way to go much closer just need to drive careful because the road its not good (If you have small car better don’t try it)
