Trekking from the summit of the Cursed Mountain to Valbona Village. It's a continuous descent and takes about 4 hours. The scenery on the descent to Valbona Village is overwhelmingly more beautiful than the ascent from Theth Village to the Cursed Mountain. When you arrive in Valbona Village, there are several hotels available, with cheap hostels starting from 10 euros. However, reservations fill up quickly, so it's best to book as early as possible. Also, don't forget to arrange your return trip to Shkoder by the day before. Reservations are required, but the hotel staff can make them for you. 📍Location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/zAUMP4bYwaUcd21L7

I went trekking from Tes Village to Valbona Village. The whole course is about 15km long and takes about 8 hours including breaks along the way. This time, the route is from Tes Village to the top of the Cursed Mountain. It takes about 4 hours to reach the top of the Cursed Mountain. The mountains here are beautiful and the scenery is amazing. You have to climb the rocks to get to the top, but there are no safety ropes such as fences, so be careful not to slip off. 📍Location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/W1EViGMTGx41u1w87 #0yentripFebruary2025#TesVillage #Albania
