Set deep in the heart of the Kelmend region, this summit above Lëpushë offers one of the most commanding viewpoints in the Albanian Alps. The trail leads to a high vantage point at 2059 meters, from which you can see across vast sections of the Albania–Montenegro border, with sharp ridgelines, deep valleys, and open alpine slopes stretching in all directions. The area is known for its natural diversity: thick forests at the base give way to open meadows and exposed rock as you gain altitude. This route is especially rewarding for those seeking wide views and a full sense of elevation gain without technical terrain.

The hike begins from the village of Lëpushë and heads south-east, ascending steadily into a forest of beech and pine. This first section provides a shaded and gradual climb, with the trail surrounded by dense vegetation.
At around 1650 meters, the forest begins to thin and the landscape opens up. From here, the trail continues southward along more exposed slopes, moving through scattered alpine vegetation and patches of open ground. The incline becomes more sustained, but the trail remains clear and easy to follow.
As you approach the summit at 2059 meters, the views become increasingly dramatic. The summit is a prime spot to pause and take in the vastness of the Accursed Mountains and the remote beauty of the highlands.
After a break at the summit, the descent follows the same trail, offering a relaxed return to Lëpushë with the added benefit of looking back over the valley from a new angle.
