After lunch, we will embark on a two-hour hike through the terrain where karst rock formations create stunning landscapes.
Hike along the Albanian border
Gorlo Sokolovo Gorge is the highlight of our hiking route. You will enjoy fantastic panoramas not only of the Montenegrin mountains but also of the North Albanian Alps.

We will return to the car by a short route, and along the way, we can pick wild rosehips or gather mushrooms (in season).
