At the Feet of NëmerçkaThis short and beautiful hike leads us to the Sopotit Waterfall, which cascades down in tiers within a narrow rocky corset. The view over the Vjosa Valley is also worthwhile, as is the experience at the feet of Maja e Dritës: Before the mighty rock walls of the Nëmerçka massif, a person feels like a dwarf.

The Silence of the ForestThis short circular tour allows us to immerse ourselves in the largest national park in Albania, founded in 1996 and expanded in 2008 to 34,000 hectares. It is mainly the trees, some over 100 years old, that create the charm of this hike, including maples, beeches, and oaks, as well as the eponymous firs (bredh) and Macedonian pines. The latter are remnants of ancient Mediterranean forests. The view of the Dhëmbel-Nëmerçka mountain range is another highlight.

Over the Dhëmbel Pass from seclusion into the cityWe ascend along a canyon into a high valley inhabited by shepherds and further to the pass between Dhëmbel and Nëmerçka, which together form a mountain range. The breathtaking panorama compensates for the 600 meters of altitude gained: The view extends from the Vikos-Aoos National Park in Greece on the right over the Vjosa Valley with the town of Përmet lying below us and the Bredhi i Hotovës National Park opposite, to the Tomorr on the left. The descent offers more beautiful viewpoints and the opportunity to visit the church of Leusë and – almost at the destination – the Kongresi i Përmetit.

    Schöne Wanderung durch die Gebirgslandschaft der Vjosa. Wir sind vom Dorf Strembëc gestartet. die Fahrt über die Schotterfahrstraße ist etwa 3 km lang und dauert rund 20 Minuten ab der Brücke über die Vjosa. Die Wegbeschaffenheit ist auf der ganzen Strecke etwa so, wie von der Hauptstraße bis zur Brücke. Wer das nicht fahren möchte, kann das Auto vor der Brücke parken und den Weg zu Fuß wandern. Dabei sind zusätzlich gut 200 Höhenmeter bis zum Dorf zu überwinden. Die Wanderung selbst verläuft fast ausschließlich am beziehungsweise in der Nähe eines Wasserkanals. Unterwegs gibt es immer wieder schöne Ausblicke auf das Tal der Vjosa. Allerdings passt die Einordnung der Tour als „leicht“ nicht. Die Fitnessanforderung ist meiner Ansicht nach 3, die techn. Schwierigkeit mindestens 2, vielleicht sogar 3 aufgrund der langen ausgesetzten Passage über das Schotterfeld und der größtenteils alpinen Wegbeschaffenheit.

    Très belle balade ! Nous étions seuls au monde au pied de la cascade... L'itinéraire est facile à suivre, puisque le sentier suit le ruisseau qui apporte au village l'eau de la cascade. Attention cependant à avoir de bonnes chaussures, la traversée des pierriers n'est pas toujours évidente.

    The hike is great. Although not well marked, you will be able to find the way by following the path. The waterfall is quit nice, you cannot swim but you can freshen up. The view on the mountains behind the waterfall and into the valley is great. The mountains are beautifully green. There was some rubbish on the way.

    Wer nicht die ganze Runde machen möchte, dem empfehle ich die von unten gesehen rechte Seite der Schlucht (also das Ende dieses Tracks). Zu Beginn ist man kurz auf einer Schotterstraße, aber dann kommen bald herrliche Aussichten und bei einem einmündenden Bach noch eine alte Brücke. Dort kann man gut Pause machen und sitzt im Frühjahr neben Blumenwiesen, während man die Füße im Bach abkühlt.

    Schöne Aussichtspunkte in die Schlucht. Zweimal die Möglichkeit sich bei einem Bach sich zu erfrischen. Wanderwege sind teilweise leicht zugewachsen.

    Im ersten Drittel der Wanderung ist die Navigation per App wichtig, denn es gibt nur wenige Steinmännchen. Der Rückweg nach der Brücke über den Bach ist dann auch markiert.
