Walk the ancient trails of the Malësorë

For centuries, the seasonal movement of Malësorë shepherds has shaped Kelmend and protected its rich biodiversity. On this full-day hiking tour, your guide Fonsi will take you beyond the marked trails of Lëpushë and into a living landscape that’s been cared for by shepherds for generations.
