2 days trip in Permet, July 22-23 - Lengarica Canyon, thermal baths and the village of Benja
Permet is located 235 km from Tirana, and is worth visiting for a weekend for those who have never been there. For those who have been, it's still worth for the attractive walk in the Lengarica canyon. For more: https://wander.al/city/permet.
Day 1
Departure at the "Stadiumi Dinamo" with a 20-30 minutes stop for a morning coffee after passing the city of Fieri.
Upon arrival at the Thermal Baths, we begin exploring the Lengarica Canyon. We will walk along it across the bed and against the stream.
During the walk we will be accompanied by spectacular views of the canyon, which rise vertically with a height of about 30-50m above its bed. From time to time we will go through water basins, which we'll have to pass by swimming. The return will be on the same route, ending at the starting point at the thermal baths. The whole walk will last for about 5-6 hours. A picnic lunch will be provided for each participant.
After the walk, traditional food dinner will be served at one of the restaurants of the area.
Accommodation in a hotel in Permet.
Dita 2
After a breakfast with variety, where you'll try traditional pancakes and jam, we will leave the hotel at 9:00 in the direction of Benje village.
After leaving the vehicle at the point where the street is crossed by a secondary road towards the village of Benje, we'll start the walk/climb that will last about 1-1.5 hours. Once we'll arrive in the village, we'll visit the village church, the church of Saint Mary and its characteristic dwellings, while enjoying the panoramic view.
After an 1 hour long relax in the village, we'll take the path back along the Vjosa River valley - we'll stop and sunbathe in the river water basins. Lunch will be served in one of the area's traditional restaurants, where you'll try the lamb, cheese and brandy.
