The Albanian Mountains.


Mount Tomorri (2414 m)
In this section of the blog I would like to recommend to you some places which I have visited in Albania and especially any Albanian mountain.
Albania is a predominately mountainous country, however the access to the foot of any mountain is difficult for the reasons of inexisting roads or infaisable roads. Therefore a good planning or a four wheel drive is necessary if you want to climb any mountain in here.
But let's start withthe mount Tomorri.
Mt Tomorri is famous for the tomb of Bektashim leader which is a destiny of pilgrimage and which is situated in the southern part of the mountain. The climb maybe done from the southern part, but we decided for the northern part, approaching the mountain from the village of Pushtan. There is a bus from Berati at 12.00 which arrives to the village of Tomorri in about 1 hour. Once in Tomorri you will need a few hours to reach the top.
