The route includes several beautiful viewpoints and natural riverbanks where you can stop for photos, rest, and take in the peaceful atmosphere of this protected natural area. Depending on the season, you may also see local wildlife and colorful wildflowers growing along the river valley.

As the ride continues, you’ll explore different sections of the valley, sometimes cycling right next to the river and other times climbing gently for spectacular views of the landscape. The experience is designed to be enjoyable and accessible, combining light adventure with moments to appreciate the untouched beauty of the region.

The tour finishes back in Përmet, where you’ll return with unforgettable memories of cycling through one of Albania’s most spectacular natural environments.
