Hotova National Park Hiking Tour with Forest Springs｜Albania

Begin your journey at the forest station and enter a peaceful trail surrounded by tall pine and fir trees. Follow a narrow forest road and gradually climb along a scenic mountain ridge, enjoying fresh air and beautiful natural views along the way.

Reach the Church of Saint Christopher, a quiet and scenic point that adds cultural and historical interest to the hike. Continue toward the Poleniç Pass, reached after approximately 1.3 km of walking.

After the pass, descend gently along a wide and easy forest path. After around 1.2 km, arrive at an open clearing where the former forest station once stood during the Communist era, adding a unique historical element to the experience.

Nearby, a natural freshwater spring flows beside a small stream — a perfect place to rest, cool down, and enjoy the silence of the forest. Continue through the old station area and descend deeper into the forest. After approximately 800 meters, connect with the main asphalt road.

From there, walk another 400 meters to reach a peaceful park spring and resting area, where you can relax before beginning the return journey. After a short break, retrace your steps back to the forest station, completing a beautiful and easy circular-style hike.
